LS VTEC, but what are your goals? The single cam probably gets better gas mileage, and if it's enough power then sticking with that would be easier on the wallet and time.

You're more than likely going to have to run 93 or it'll ping or knock.

And for the record, brand new is not always better. You don't know who built that motor and what could be wrong with it.

this is the fucking truth, unless you built it your self, or were present when the build was happening, i wouldnt trust the motor as far as you could throw it.

Which probably isn't very far, considering they're kinda heavy.
