LS/VTEC is not hard to get right. All that is needed are the proper tools and hardware and you will have a reliable setup. I personally have an LS/VTEC and have no problems from the engine. This is not a difficult setup to put together. If you can swap the motor, then you can build this setup. This goes for any setup.

[rant] Most people who build an LS/VTEC half-a$$ it and then have it blow-up on them. Like I said, if you build it right, then you should have no problems. Don't just go get the first LS block you can find and slap a VTEC head on it and hope it will work. Do some research and you will find that this can be a very good setup. [/rant]
