most people that do LS/VTEC swaps usually dont just slap a vtec head on an ls block, most of them pull the block apart and put in higher compression pistons and stronger rods for the higher rpm range, and vtec heads flow better than ls heads and the intake manifolds are different, now on the sohc motor question, i havent a clue if that statement is even true, most people do sohc mini me's to make more power and that is usually how it turns out........

slapping a vtec head on a nonvtec sohc motor usually nets around 15 additional horsepower(or thats what number is used the most when i had read information about it)

yes, not very hard to do since d16a6 only puts out 108hp at the crank. the d16z6 has 125hp and the d16y8 has 127hp

yeah mini me's make more power than a normal sohc vtec motor....but thats just because they have slightly higher compression than a honda built sohc vtec.....the minime's dont tend to last long at all though........
