Default could someone explain what all i need for a LS/VTEC

lets just say i have a LS swap in my 94 hatch allready,,,,
what things will i need

also how reliable are they??
what are some pros and cons of this setup??

also,,what kinda qtr miles time might i see with this,,considering i have all the basic bolt ons????

is there a good trans to make this swap even batter
a car im lookin at has a LS swap in it,,with a GSR tranny,,would doing a LS VTEC on that b better then on a LS tranny???

the reason i ask is,,that if a LS/VTEC swap,,is gonna b faster,,and around the same price as a GSR swap,,i would rather do this then,,spend the same amount on a GSR swap
thanks for your input

Also it would be faster and Cheaper to just turbo your setup
it might be hard to believe, but not everyone is into drag racing

You sound like a real expert on the LS vtec but you went out the easy way and bought a Type R.

Good Job

dragon really is a stuborn old bastard!!!

anything can be reliable or unreliable. believe it or not there is only one way to do it right. the variables are what pistons cams and other power parts you use. those parts are what affect reliability, and we all know high compression kills, regardless if the block was a factory vtec. oh well, you guys do what you want. this has been beat to death and noone seems to want to be open minded.
