    not at all....but the gsr motor only has about 30 more hp.....in oem n/a form they are all pretty weak. the real advantage to any of them is in the vtec b series motors, not becuase they make slightly more power, but because they rev higher and have oil squirters for the wrist pins (which i guess is directly related to making more power along with higher compression ratios) small displacement motors need to rev high to make power. that being said the gsr or type-r would be the ones with more guts you could say...i prefer the gsr simply because of a more tame compression ratio and its ability to launch my 93 4 door dx nearly into the 11's with 120k miles and zero internal mods.

    make no mistake though the ls motor can suprise you.....so watch out

    WHAT THE FUCK. Show me where a 4 door civic with a STOCK internal GSR B18c1 with 170 crank hp will run low 12's, because low 12's is "nearly into the 11's".
