if you put a VTEC head on you need to build the motor anyway so the ls/vtec will be reliable and not blow. you need strong rods high compression pistons and a balanced crank is always good

Turbo the hell out of it. Get WAY more power that way.

I fixed the poll so that it says VTEC not Vtech.

If you have the money and really want to than go with a LS/VTEC setup. But if you want the most power for your money and dont care how your power is achieved than go with the turbo = less money more power!

I would drop about 2 grand and do a GSR head swap because if you go turbo you could only SAFELY run about 8psi befroe you have to do major internal mods, plus its about $1500 cheaper

Way to say something when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I ran a stock LS block rebuilt with new rings, bearings, oil + water pump, ARP fasteners, and a turbo kit with a T3/TO4E 57-trim. 14 pounds of boost all day every day for over a year into the motor and it's my daily driver. www.honda-tech.com, go see how many people are running 10+ psi into their stock motors.
