Default Another dumb question.. STAY LS OR GO LS/VTEC?

Another dumb question.. STAY LS OR GO LS/VTEC?

I can't make up my mind, I can do this easily,I can get the parts and everything. If i do it, i was planning on fully built meaning bullet proof almost,
new sleeves, pistons, rods, upgraded oil pump, new valve train, etc...
all stock bore most likely.

But would this last or how long? the LSVTEC?
I would be beating it of course, racing it...


I was thinking about keeping my LS and building da ---- out of it, same as above... Not risking blowing the motor like most lsVtecs do.

I gonna have the car for awhile and daily driven, just dont know what to go with...

Help me make up mind...


oh yeah... I will also be planning on boostin.

LS/VTEC with turbo if you are building it up like that.

I would keep it close to stock bore...more meat and if you do something wrong there is enough meat on the sleeves to bore/hone and put oversized pistons..
