Times on LS motors

[sweetcarz.com]

We were at a big track show and I took the company 96 Civic Hatchback with a LS motor.

Here is what I ran, if anyone else can give me times they have seen pulled it would be nice, completely stock.

R/T: slow
60: 2.402
330: 6.683
1/8: 10.184 (70.42)
1000: 13.208
1/4: 15.806 (86.04)

well tell me what you guys can come up with, it's a CX.

Your 60' time looks decent for just an LS motor, but after the 1/8 mile it looks like your already starting to run outta "room" in the motor... ever think about chipping the ECU to get a few more ponies and to bump up redline? Its only a few bucks :smoka:

Hey, I have a question for you guys then...since we're talking about LS engines...

My friend drives a 97GS (an LS engine I believe, no Vtec). She really wants vtec, and has been thinking about swapping a GSR head or block onto it so that she'd get to it. I know just from reading the boards the people have made reeealy powerful engines out of LS's. So my question is this?

Should she go for the swap, and go for Vtec, or should she just work with what she's got.

Thanks for the input....

Definitely go ls/vtec. Much better than wasting money on a full gsr engine. But I think B16 heads are better.
