Experience tells me this is almost one of the WORST things you could do. I've said it time and time again, and a bunch of guys here and at other forums can vouch with me on this...The LS/Vtec swap is usually more trouble than it is worth! You'll encounter unforseen problems and expenses you're not ready for, and you'll constantly be "tweaking"(what LS/Vtec owners call MAINTAINING ) the engine. Just my opinion, but if I were you I'd forget about the LS/Vtec and think about a turbo setup instead. Not too sure about what your goals are, but it sounds like the power you want to make will be easier(and cheaper) to make with a turbo than with a supercharger.
