i prefer the lsv. with the lsv you could always boost it later if u wanted more power. the gsr would be ok but not as much torque as the lsv.

oh okay, that sounds pretty good.. but the car will me my daily driver.. you think boost will still be good for it?

my daily driver has 24 pounds threw at it allot. its built though.

vtec-boy17

ohh okay.. and how much horse power u think i can put out with the stock ls/vtec?

and what motor are you running?

You've got to ask yourself how much power you want out of your car, and how much money you want to spend.

You already own the LS-V, so why not try it if you've got all the parts? If that's not enough power for you, sell the LS-V and boost the SOHC.

OR sell the LS-V for more than you can put a turbo kit together for to begin with if you're sure you want boost.

well im hoping for at least 160 whp stock.. and i just need a clutch and the motor can be put in the car.. Moneys not that big of a deal and in the end I am planning to boost it.. i wana run a 12.5 when im done everything and ill be happy..

i have a lsvtec with stock internals running 215 to the wheels mind you i have my head done, cams , cam gears, pulleys and a larger throttle body headers full exhaust
my friend is runnin pretty much the same set up boosted and hes running 313.3 HP
i know people who after doing internals run excess of 500 hp
i am a big fan of the lsvtec
with the proper suspension and tire combo you can run high 11's to mid 12's all day long at 300 hp properly tuned depending on the tranny you use
