Default LS/VTEC strength/durability questions

I am getting a 94 Integra LS in a few weeks, and was considering the LS/VTEC route. I assume that it would be fairly durable, since it is just a head and piston change...but if anyone knows of durability problems... Also, I am worried about component strength at high RPM. With a different top end, how will my redline be effected? Will it be dangerous to drive all out, that is, more dangerous than a stock motor.

Also, is this in any way street legal?

Im bored but i wont get it for you,you need to learn to use it hehe .But i will tell you some stuff about it.The ls bottom end doesnt have oil squirters and a girdle.It also has a worst r/s ratio than the gsr block.Those are some of the cons about the ls block.One of the pros is that it has a longer stroke.

Just do a searc and you will find it.
