Default anybody in here rocking an Ls|Vtec engine?

i have a couple of questions...

is the Ls block with any VTEC head a reliable engine? which is my main concern. i've been searching/reading alot and i came across so many threads claiming that motor will beat itself up and isn't worth the time. i was planning to boost but that's out of my budget. any suggestions?

ok im out my bad mood so ill give my 2 pennies

ls/vtec is good if your on a budget and will be reliable if its built right and tuned properly. if not then say bye bye in under 1000 miles. personally i would get a gsr since its from the factory and more reliable

but hes in cali so cops will harrass him and **** if he ever gets pulled over.

swapped engine with no bar sticker in cali can get impounded and you wont get a bar sticker if u go to the ref because ls/vtec is illegal
