I have a vtec head on my ls block, the difference is like night and day. It is pretty reliable also, so far 22,xxx miles on it, several road trips. Just waiting for the turbo to come in from Ben.

Not even a question. Lets see,
LS head, smaller valves, less lift and duration on the cam, smaller intake manifold, smaller ports
VTEC head, bigger intake valves, more lift and duration on the VTEC cam, bigger intake manifold, and much more generous ports.
