I also agree. Your choices are always bolt-ons. But a ls/vtec conversion is actually quite simple. I bet I could do it with the proper tools. You need a vtec head, then few holes drilled into block, few other little mods and a great horse power gain for the money.

Lets say later in you engines life, all you need to do is drop a new block. Other than the conversion, basic bolt-ons and you will have one bad *** car.

 

Its kindof a pain in the *** to switch a head back to be used on a VTEC block after its been modded to fit a non-VTEC block. Anyways, LS/VTEC is way harder than you make it out to be. Also, you need to change pistons to get any HP from one. The stock ones are low compression, and, the LS tranny sucks for all motor (long *** gears). Your best bet for reliability, is probably going to be a GSR swap. Its gonna be more reliable than an LS/VTEC for the same $$, and you can get the whole swap and sell your LS motor and tranny. OR, you could just turbo that baby!!
