Default LS, or GS-R?

Okay i plan on trading in my Prelude for an Integra very very soon. What model should i get? I want to go turbo, so the Type R is out...what about a GSr? what are their stock compression ratios? are they low enough for a turbo? I heard alot of people going LS for a turbo motor? what are the HP differences between them...Basically i want as much speed for the track with a turbo as i can get, which model should i go with? money is no object.

I hear the type-r is a monster on the track. You can turbo either a gsr or ls just be sure to do it right.

ls does have lower compression but you could always get a gsr and change the pistons....but check out f-max.com they put there turbo on a gsr and it outdid all the other kits it was put against. check it out

LS= turbo = lower compression,longer gearing.

you know why the fmax created more power? because they run 9 psi out of the box, as opposed to 6 from a drag3...i heard the fuel management was really bad on the fmax too...so you guys never gave me a straight answer, exactly what are the power differences between the ls and gsr from the factory and will the ls get more power to overpass the difference?

FMAX
RevHard

The LS would be nicer for it's less expensive insurance rates nad ability to run more boost on stock block, but... The GSR with an LS tranny would be real nice. A BUILT GSR with the LS tranny and ITR LSD would be KILLER.

wait, i got it... buy an ls with a blown engine, swap in a b18c... LS insurance rates, GSR power, AND the LS tranny.
