when you do that convertion its called ls/v-tech you gain alot more horse and can hold the gears alot longer. you'll be just about a full second faster. but its pretty expensive if you want the gsr head you would half to by the hole thing and then your lookin at about $2800 if you want the ls bottom end, its like $900 to $1200. (w/out labor)
just imagine your ls or gsr with a 65' shot.

I belive LS/VTEC is a method of creating a DOHC VTEC engine when there is no block available. I highly doubt that with a lower rev limit, lower compression, and a weaker block you will be making more power than a B18C1. Oh, and BTW, "holding the gears longer" applies to the transmission, not the engine. Shorter gears are better for acceleration... take two civics with the same engine, put an Si tranny in one, a DX tranny in the other, and watch the "gears holding longer" lose their ass.
