Default ls/vtec motor or 97 prelude motor which is better

Hi guys My friend has a ls/vtec motor in his 91 gsr but he think that the 97 prelude will still be able to beat him. I know that the lude comes 200hp stock but the ls/vtec is said to have about 220 hp. what do you guys think.

you might want to ask this question in the hybrid forum, also its not that simple as he has a ls/vtec, what tranny, ecu, etc.?

my friend had an ls/vtec in a his 92 teg.. just to let u know it made 198whp but it was built... 10:5:1 SRP pistons, stage 2 cams, hondata....etc etc... he ran low 14's w it I suspect he coulda hit 13's on slicks although he never tried.. He's since rebuilt it for turbo and now runs about 400+ at the wheels..

A stock built ls vtec would prob put of about the same as a stock gsr w maybe a little more tq... Two ways of doing it.. b16 head or b18..

A friend of mine had an Ls/Vtec in his civic, and he would beat preludes all the time...

Why did he put an LS/VTEC in his GSR? The GSR is a much better motor IMO and I heard that there are quite a few probs. with LS motors with VTEC heads.

I don't think they made 91 GSRs here in the US, i think the earliest GSR model was 92.
