Re:LS/Vtec question
I would. I just built one with B16 pistons (PR3). With a little head shave and stuff I got the static CR to 12:1. Good for all motor, not for boost. I'm currently building a turbo LS with ITR pistons. I may make it a turbo lsvtec in the future. Compression makes power, period.

Re:LS/Vtec question
yeah compression makes power, but... more air makes more power than compression. so an engine with 8:1 compression and 12psi would make more power than a engine with 10:1 compression and 6psi. out of the same turbo. i think? :P

Re:LS/Vtec question
It'll probably be cheaper to get a b16 swap and get a separate b18 block. If you're going NA, you'd definitely want the B16 tranny. You can probably sell the b16 block for the price of the b18 block and keep the b16 pistons.
I bought a ls swap and then bought all the parts for the b16 swap, I wouldn't have done that again.
