Are you comparing your boosted gsr to all motor ls/vtec .Because seems to me your knob makes you feel good when u turn it upto like 20psi and make more power than ls/vtec.If you got the money to do a ls/vtec right and not throw bs together like your friends proble did.Then it will be more reliable and strong, but when you just slap a vtec head on a ls bad idea.
