my freind has a LS/VTEC with almost that identical setup... he's got crower cams, and he clears with no problem. He cracked one of the CTR pistons on the ring land recently, thats about it.

be prepared to have high compression, and to only run 93+ octane. i have CTR's also, but with ITR cams

doggs, you should get a whole head package though... ( Heavy Duty springs and retainers) or else you will have some serious problems when you start revving the motor out

Well I had CTRs with Toda Bs...don't know how they compare with Skunk2's lift, but i think you'd be fine.
