Re: (mistaashby12)
yes and add cams, but your still missing vtec. you can port all you want but still missing vtec.
i ran a b18b head before, i had a lot of fun with it. just depends on your power goal.

reason i ask is because the LS head isnt made for high revving and the components in it arnt as steardy as in the vtec heads.
what is the highest anyone took the LS head with after market valve springs/retains(BC) without any long term failures.
sorry if this is going away from the op's question.

Well if the [freak]er is a dd just run it at around 10 max for boost.If its not a dd then dont do Ls.idc how built it is or will be its an ls and if its any type of dd you shouldnt be worrying about alot of boost.

wtf? I don't think you know what you are talking about. Im sure your going to quote me but you sound really dumb sorry.
being a D.D. has nothing to do with the amount of boost you can run.

build what you got and have fun you'll make your goal as long as your turbo set up is efficient

Hey stupid [freak] its called smart. Anyone who drives a dd pushing high boost is a [freak]ing mornon including yourself.If its a weekend car or w\e then push what you want.If you want your car to last with a turbo setup and its driven daily then i wouldnt go at high boost levels.I have heard STock Ls motors run as high as 15 pounds anything more didnt last very long at all.
