Dunno what I should do?
Should I sell my LS swap and trade up for GSR swap? I have a buyer for my LS swap right now. I'm feeling like the LS isn't powerful enough to make it a fun daily driver. I do like to go to the track every now and then. Just appreciate some opinions.
Thanks.
Thanks.

well i'm kinda sick of these questions (i'm entitled to my own opinion). you're going to get a pluthra of ls+turbo votes. really man its all about what u want out of YOUR car. there are pro's and cons to both sides. turbo has lag, NA'ed takes longer and more money generally to do it right. however, with the two options you gave, ls/turbo or gsr... i'd say turbo.

Sorry you feel that way I know these types of questions are frequently asked but I really can't decide. I appreciate your honestly and thanks for the reply.

I think a lot of people on this bored act like putting a turbo is like changing an air filter. Yeah you will spend less money but you need that money up front. With a NA setup you can slowly progress and actually feel the differences that every part adds.

If you think you want to go NA than get the GSR. If you want to go fast, fast. Boost the LS. I personally would go boost, if i was ever gonna go all motor it would be with an ITR platform

want to drive my stock motored hatch for a week? a DD isn't meant to be fast anyhow. IMO you have more than enough to have a 'fun Daily driver' but, you want a fast car not a daily driver.

Ah, new kids
. Aside from the reliability issues and the fact that your block has to be machined and prepped to accept a VTEC head, it would be much more cost effective (and reliable) to either put forged slugs or a bigger snail on the setup. VTEC is great, but it's not as good as another 4 pounds of boost.
