im thinkin ls vtec, maybe boost still not sure what do you think? Right now im happy with it but im sure I'll want more power later. Boost sounds good cuz it can be done for cheap and i got a super 60 turbo already, I'd like to build the ls as much as i can though. damnit i dont know.
i called ami's shop for help cuz i had lots of questions

well i have a project going on ls block gsr head.. but thats just hangin right now cause of losing intrest do to the fact i cant drive my sore thumb (civi) well LS turbo is a awesome setup man.. def 13's with proper fuel management and tuning. and ls vtec can get uh lil pricey if its done right but its a respected combo! ls vtec can be a high 13sec low 14sec car too ha dunno dude i chose both ls-R boosted :grinyes:

thats actually what i was thinkin go ahead and set up a turbo now, then i know a guy that will sell me a complete ls motor for $80 that needs the bottom end rebuilt. I'd look around for a vtec head (also know a guy that will sell me a b16 head for $600 rebuilt) and build that block for boost and ls vtec. I just got laid off though so im gonna have to wait.

as for boost what kind of fuel management would be the most practical/cost-effective?
