i'd go for a turbo. because LS-Vtec wont last long if made poorly. unless its built nicely, then it wouldn't be a problem.

check out the forced induction forum on here to build up some knowledge on turbo's.

LS/VTEC is a little dicey and precarious. If you do decide to go that way, there will be no rewards for cutting corners. I would say, keep the reliability of the stock LS engine, get some shorter gears, and begin preparations for forced induction.

Not sure what you're asking about what parts would be better for the engine? Do you mean brandnames, or?

You seriously cant make up your own mind from searching for previous threads on either/same topic?
You really need others to tell you what to do period?

what do you want to do with the car? "I wanna go fast"
How fast do you want to go?
There's a LS-T thread like 397987249273912347 pages long with tons of setups and great info. on doing LS-T.

If it's allmotor you looking for there are many threads you can find via the search function to get your info. from. If done right you can get good power and reliabitly from an ls/vtec.

Or you can stay all motor LS and still make good power. The road less traveled.

with the money spent to have a reliable ls/vtec, you could have spent that on a turbo setup.
