Just out of curiosity, why do you think the ITR swap will be more reliable? Do you mean more reliable than your LS because the LS has a lot of miles, or more reliable than your LS because the LS will be supercharged?

more reliable because of miles and the fact that the LS is an automatic... the tranny will go out before the motor does...also because of switching to manual breaks so the JRSC can fit... this is my DD... want to have something thats a little quick

it sounds to me like you already have your answer. it's for a DD, the LS already has alot of miles, etc. but i'm not a honda guy, don't know how much the motors/trannies are.

Leave your DD alone since it is your DD. Find another car to modify so you can take your time and do it right. Then if you don't have enough money to buy another car and modify then don't do it.

Supercharged LS = waste of money.

ITR swap = waste of money.

You'll spend way too much money for no power on the supercharger, and you'll spend even more money for a slow car with the ITR swap. If you want cheap and fun, turbo the LS. You won't spend as much money as the ITR swap, and you'll get more power than the supercharger.
