sure its worth it, if you have the money go for it...just find a reliable shop that can do it. it's your call...not sure how much gains you get though. I think Schanx did it but with an ITR head and GSR bottom end and i think yeah ls is doing something like that..

Re: is this reliable and cost-effective? (Type Goch)
sure reliable as in = honda reliable? or sure reliable as in = reliable for a race car?
my main thing is that it's street driven every day... anywhere from 30-80 miles a day
because i've heard of many stories going wrong with the common ls-vtec motor... nonetheless the CR-Vtec motor...
but i also heard stories of how this setup is almost equivalent to a turbo...

It can be reliable if you have someone who is a competent honda engine builder and knows what the hell they are doing..
