this is sort of a waste of time if your trying to make real power. just save up and get a ls. you will enjoy the torque and power from it

Agreed.


VTEC heads are such a disappointment and waste of time.

then you want a LS. its not some crazy amount of power. and you wont have to downshift all the time to climb the mountains. i hated my old D15 for that. gutless wonder im telling you. the ls will sit just fine. and the vtec head really wont gain much. unless your a vtec ***** and want that crazy vtak yo!

You wont get up the hills any better with a SOHC VTEC trust. Its **** thats what it is.

If you want to climb the hills get a B18B or turbo the SOHC.
