Default V-tec VS. Turbo

I was wondering what would be a better set up for my integra LS... i would like to increase horsepower by either adding a GSR head or if i just got a turbo setup?
I would like to hear why too please? thanks

Amen to that! I have a 91, that of course came with a b18a, I am waiting for my b16a1, and then I am going to turbo it. VTEC with turbo should make more power that non-VTEC with turbo.

yes sir. I'm currently LS-T but a stroker b16 buildup is currently in the works. No more lag for me. Yay!

A lot of people are making 300 WHP on stock block LS's with good tuning at around 10-14 Lbs of boost on a nicely sized turbo.

A lot of people are making around 150-160 WHP with LS/VTEC

Which route do you want to go?
