Default First Upgrade

I have a LS teg, and im not sure wat to do first:
LS/VTEC
or
New LS engine and turbocharge it

Im not looking for HUGE hp, just someting more than wat i have now. Cost is an issue past a certain point, so im loookin at a smaller turbo.

TIA

i want to know whether it would be better to do the VTEC head swap or Turbo my engine on a cost/hp gain comparison (bang for the buck)

Both LS/vtec and turbocharging are serious mods; if you are not looking for serious hp then maybe you should look into more basic bolt on mods.

When u say "serious hp" for the VTEC conversion, just how much do you mean, because ive heard numbers in the low 200 range?

Ls/Vtec power is all relevant to how much money you are willing to spend. I can assure you...200 whp is not cheap.

So first, off...I would recommend you thinking how much money you are willing to shell out. Then search what is involved in an Ls/Vtec. THen comeback and ask more specific questions.
