Vetch is a good idle.

Remember kids, kerosene won't detonate at 12K rpms! Neither will a non-vetch at the same hp and better torque with the proper thermal management.

it gives you enough high rpm PoW3R with the "fast" cam while keeping your low rpm power with the "low" cam

LS block has longer stroke, gives your more low end tork but power dies out at like 5500ish rpm..
Factory VtHeC motor has shorter stroke, allows it to rev higher but produce less tork at low rpm.

So u mix them up and creat a motor that has good low end tork yet makes good high end power.

.......something like that :P

Close, but not wholly there. I'll only argue the small, irrelevant points:

Difference between LS and GSR rod/stroke ratio is ---- all.

Difference between LS and B16 "with better flowing head" when boosted is ---- all.

Boosted LS starts dropping torque around 4500-4800, and it's power curve is totally flat 6500-7000 before power drops off. Unless you have Web billet cams + Crower valvetrain, like my boy Speedy, so your LS's torque peak is 6400 and power doesn't drop off until 6800 rpm because that's when Jack at P1 lifts off the throttle despite being told to hold it in until 8000 rpm because said cams are good to 8500.

Wait I got that last part wrong - they aren't Speedy's head/cams/valvetrain anymore.

So the LS vetchk has a fast cam and a low cam, huh? I always thought it had a slow cam and a high cam. Boy was I wrong.

The point? the point is its faster and makes more power in this form over stock. The main point people do this is because its cheap, alot cheaper than actually buying for say.. a GSR

what is the differance?
The difference between a regular LS and a LS/vtec ? alot.. Vtec is a beautiful thing, Take a ride in a B16a or a GSR vs a straight LS you could easily tell "what the difference is" its basically alot more peak HP.

want to know because i ot a whole ls for free and i am going to turbo it later.
Keep in mind LS/vtecs get a bad rap because people do not do them correctly. Lots of kids just slap on vtec heads on these high milage old worn out B18a/b's and rev the living ---- out of them on a stock pr3. The correct way would be to use a Vtec oil pump, replace the rings (throw a quick hone job on the bitch) inspect the rod bearings for wear, and run a chipped ecu with a good fuel/timing map or a GSR ecu.

There is lots of information on this big place called the INTERNET, lots of write ups on how to do ls/vtecs etc etc. Good luck
