LS/Vtec

I hear everyone talking about LS/Vtec. First , what exactly is used for this setup. I mean what block, what head, etc. Second, would it be a good build for turbo.

Re: LS/Vtec

so should I just use the gsr head anyways. I heard they are not as good as the B16 head when it come to turbo. Also should I try to get an Ls tranny or would something else be better like Type-R or the gsr tranny.

Re: LS/Vtec

just get a GSR because an LS/VTEC isn't the easiest thing in the world to do....and if you're going to build for boost, you may want to just get the block and stuff it w/ new parts that can handle the power.....
