No offense, but it kinda sucks. My suggestion is post a sticky labled ls/vtec and only people with helpfull ls/vtec suggestions post on it. Do you think newbies are going to read through 6 pages posts hoping to find info on a good set up. Hell, most mewbies don't even know about it.

newbies shouldn't be doing LS/VTEC's. Not even all certified mechanics should be doing it either. I know a few people who have done it, who work on Hondas every day and have blown it up in a week or less. In reality it should be up there with the ease of doing an h22 swap; it's not for everyone. And yes newbies should be forced to read thru 6 pages of info on good setups. Because they need to get informed before they make a quick decision and end up spending a ton more $ when they blow their sh*t up and have to buy a new engine. There are too many newbies on here who read something and assume they can do it with no problem, when they should be reading more info and getting informed before they even consider it.

Also they can use the Search function! Then they will not have to read all 6 pages, they can just skim over them looking for the read text.

I understand that you are tring to help here, but if we had a one sticky for every common question then we would fill up most of the first page with them. Not a good idea.

First, not everyone that's new to computers/AF is new to cars. All newbies aren't high school idiots. I was on AF for two months before I knew how to use the search button. (Hence the reason I don't insult people for questions like "which exhaust should I get") I read all the rules, but I'm not a computer guro.

This is why there should be a sticky, or at least change the name of the FAQ's thread so people can learn the facts about doing complicated swaps and conversions. Truth be told, I didn't know what the hell it was until I heard someone talk about it a couple of weeks ago.

Listen, make it a sticky, or don't. It just seemed like it would help if newbies knew where to look with out some one giving them smart ass remarks first.
