Default LS-VTEC costs?

--what should i expect to pay to machine a VTEC head for the LS-VTEC swap?

--at that time should i have a port ad polish done?

--is it even necessary for a street machine that isnt purpose built and wont be raced that much at all?

--also what about depurring the intake manifold or the TB?

--sorry for the questions im sure its simple ones but im new to the hybrid idea and i like it alot. My whole plan is to build up my LS with only OE honda/acura parts with the expection of the I/H/E. Giimme some help guys.

There is a dude out in vegas selling a GSR head for $800. I would suggest to definately port and polish dat mug while it is out. I heard the LS/Vtec bone out big time. Got that LS torque.

or you can do your own research on thepartstrader.com and hondaautomotiveparts.com yourself. Also, do a search on any of the search engines and you'll find plenty to go on. It's not that hard.

depends on who builds it, and what parts are used.

expect anywhere from 3k-6k (for the full job)

why not locate an itr head and intake manifold ($1400+/-)
