Im getting a fully built LS block with ctr pistons mated with a b16 head(not milled stock gasket), skunk2stage1 cams.
CAn i be able to daily drive it
whats the pros and cons for this setup.

 

That set up would be fine for the street as long as high octane gas is used from the pump.

Different states have different highest premium, here its 93, some states its only 91 or 92, and even that can be used for compressions of 12:1 and under.

 

Peace O cake
i wouldn't consider that setup very harsh at all

 

The only time people usually have problems with CTRs are from milling the head too much, then the valves mash.

But since this isn't the case should be good go .

 

unless you are set on stage ones, you may want to try something more aggessive. I have stage twos and they are very streetable. it all depends on what you want.

 

yes, it is streetable, if you plan on upping the compression over 12, i would suggest a tuning device such as hondata. It will also help you run on 91 octane

 

most ppl say its ok but i would not ever run that kind of cr on street gas exspically on 91 octane
i would much rather use some pr3 or p30 pistons to get 11.5 cr

 

Dont under estimate that kind of compression. If you build it like that, make sure you do everything correctly and be safe with timing and octane choice depending on where you live. and tuning is key.

I had this setup in my 93 gsr. It was a beast. Tuning is the key to prevent detonation. This setup up was very streetable for me. I had stock injectors and fuel pump. The pnly thing i did was retard the distributor timing and ran a skunk2 p28 ecu...worked great....My suggestion is to get some bigger injectors and get it tuned!!!! Retarding the timing is just temp., do it right

 

I'm running lsvtec with ctr pistons, gsr head milled 20k with skunk2 stage 2 cams no problems....8k miles and counting................ NO HONDATA!

with hondata tuned you shouldnt have any problems running 91. now if you dont have hondata i would recomend 93,94 or if you cant get that just add some octane boost here and there and it will be very reliable as long as you treat it right.
