vtec turbo

vtec is not optimized for turbo. get a P&P on the LS head and put in a good cam and bigger valves, then you'll be rockin'

vtec and turbo just don't agree with each other in most cases.

Actually, you will get better performance with the vtec head rather than a stock ls head. VTEC heads flow alot smoother. I personally though would just go LS turbo and build up another ls head.

the VTEC head FLOWS better, but you get more gains on the dyno if you eliminate VTEC engagement altogether. OH YEAH!! try it

So, rather than spend $XXX on a VTEC head and so on, it's better to get valves, springs, and cams for the LS head, and just have it ported for forced induction. I can guarantee you'll have more power this way than 'mad vtech head y0'

I beg to differ. Are you an imbecile? I'm sure my SC34 + GSR will produce some worthwhile numbers.
