Re: Ls turbo question (beerbongskickass)
all of this depends on your goals with the car and how much power/how fast u want to go. i have had both ls-t and ls/v-t and i must say the ls-t was a fun torque machine, great throttle responce and low-midrange power but u have alot more power potential with the ls/v setup. i would say if u wanted to stay around the 300whp mark just stay ls, but if u wanted to go higher in power i would recomend ls/v, simpily because the vtec heads make much more power, with less boost.

Re: Ls turbo question (mx621)
hehe the vtec head is a whole other can of worms man. i ran an ls turbo for about 18,000 miles, then rebuilt it as an lsvtec. to be dead honest, its the same exact tq band (200ft/lbs from 5k rpms to just about 6800), but im making like an additional 30 hp on about 3 less psi (same turbo). boost + vtec is ungodly amounts of fun and overly addicting
