need help on this one
I am debating on either doing ls/vtec or just boost the ls. I have bosted my old gsr hatch, it was fun.
but have never done ls/vtec and seen one in a car that was done well. (meaning right and tuned, same i would do)
but can't decide which one would be better to play with. Any suggestions would help.(EXCEPT BULLSHIT ONES OF COURSE)
It's in my 1992 hatch, and i still have a/c and p/s in it and i am keeping it in their. So would you suggest ls/vtec be good and reliable and cheaper then boostin it and trying to obtain a/c and p/s still?

And if you are saying FI(meaning forced induction) stock ls can handle 7-10pound on a good tune. i don't abuse my vehicles. my gsr lasted me along time and still never blew, guy who bought it still has it

Boost it. Its not going to be as fun if your only revving the ls vtec to 7200 esp with an ls trans, its still going to feel like a turd. Stock can handle a bit more if the tune is on point. Friend of mine made 300whp on a 100% stock ls on 14psi but i wouldnt reccomend running 14psi everyday

Re: need help on this one
boost is definately more fun.
my buddys got ls vtec...... and isnt happy with it. fully tuned and swapped at ccc. 100% professional. His car is quick. sounds mean but its just not like a turbo.
I had a turbo ls in my da and it was alot of fun. def get it tuned. i didnt as i had a budget pieced together kit. which still would wipe dukies on the lsvtec with the juggernaut driving.
my two cents..... boost
