Because people in the 92-00 forum cant afford both half the time.

Take a look into the Drag forum, alot of people have ran them. I know Exospeed still runs LS/VTEC - T

Not too sure, but runnig LS-Vtec is for all motor apps and is used to get high compression. And for turbo apps, you usually want a lower compression for higher boost.

I know several local guys who have them, one of them just made 565/4xx on an LSvtec with a GT35R.

I guess you are just looking in the wrong places bro.
