a gsr crank.. but that wouldn't reall make it an ls/vtec now would it?

if you really are going to rev that damn high, plz get an itr or gsr oil pump to provide oil to the bearings so that they don't prematurely turn into barf like mine did.
u can use which ever crank u prefer, since it seems as if you are going all out u should balance the whole rotating assembly
and what are u going to use MSD to do , Ignition?
go with a good Engine management, u cant cheap out when it comes to engine management

true, no point in turning something vtec if you're not going to add vtec parts.

ya msd ignition , what a good engine management system if i switch the crank there no point calling it ls vtec but it still will work like one rite?
whats an good air fuel ratio guage?

I dont want to start a huge RS argument, although you should know.
Rod stroke ratio is a large factor when determining rev limit.
Lower RS motors make more power lower (stroker motors).
Higher RS motors make more power up high for the most part (de-stroked motors)
If you rev the crap out of a Lower RS motor and plan on having long term use out of it you may want to think twice.
An ideal RS is 1.7~
The LS is 1.54
The GSR is 1.58
I AM NOT SAYING LS HAS BAD RS RATIO. Im saying you may want to think twice about revving near 10k. And thats based on wheather you can even make power that high on an LS crank and still be streetable (have good low end power too).
Just fyi.

getting gsr crank.
But thats alot of work for not much gain. Just set your motor to take advantage of the lower RS and enjoy the power a bit lower.
If you want to rev to 9500 all day long get a b16 (in a street car).
Race car is diffrent.

RS ratio isnt the most important factor when determining longevity of an LS vtec. Piston speed is. Take a look at this. Both figures are in feet per minute at 9500rpm. This is the TRUE reason LS/Vtec isnt as reliable. The bearings are just getting ******* POUNDED at righ rpms. Thats why they spin. Not because of shitty oiling problems caused by the oil line to the back of the head, or any other stupid excuses. (besides oil pump, but an oil pump shattering on ANY motor would be deadly to your bearings.) Hope ive helped out a little.
B16=4779.45 fpm
LS=5495.75 fpm
B16=4779.45 fpm
