What are your power goals?? If you're looking for something around 300whp, i would rather pick the GSR because its a factory built engine and IMO more reliable for that reason. I made 315whp on 91 octane on my stock GSR.

Definitely GSR. Not only is the bottom end stronger. But the better rod ratio means less side loading.

Im still in the blue as to why GSR, LSv and CRv are in the poll for a "cheaper" and "better" boost application?

At least take the LSv and CRv out of the picture and start by adding a few more stock Honda/Acura set ups like a B18b perhaps.

Id go with GSR out of these options, but IMO you should broaden your options. Look at some more stock engines.

Do you mean which is cheaper out of the three, or in general.

Cuz this poll sucks if you are looking for a cheap motor in general. nothing on that list is 1800 for the longblock, i wouldn't consider that real cheap.
