What to do to my LS?
I have a 90 LS block (B18A1) that I got for free. I want to build a N/A Monster with it and drop it in my CRX. Now I'm considering an LS/VTEC combination for more power! I'd like to get Toda Spec C cams and rev the darn thing to 9500 rpms! I'll be autocrossing/street driving this car too! Some people say that the Spec C's are too hard to tune? Should I just get the B's instead?!?!
Later on, I want to add ITB's if possible and manage it with a hondata ecu. I'm thinking of putting JDM CTR Pistons (.20 over) in the block wich should give me +- 11.9:1 compression with a B16A head. (right?) Or should I just get JDM ITR Pistons (.20 over) instead?
Now the whole reving part for the engine, I'll be adding a girdle to keep things solid on the bottom end and have the motor balanced and blueprinted. I'll also add some stronger/lighter rods to the engine while doing the engine rebuild!
My questions are as follows:
Will the engine be able to handle all the stuff I want it to do with it being properly built for it? Like rev that high? or at least up to 9000 rpms?
Will the ITB's be a good idea with the Toda Cams and high compression?
Another thing I haven't really tought about is what clutch and flywheel to get for my plans!! Any suggestions peeps? Toda clutch and flywheel? Clutchmaster? Exedy?
I just want opinions and toughts on the setup and also pointers or stuff I should consider getting or doing to the engine! Please show me some light on some possibilities!
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advanced!

Re: What to do to my LS? (DevinW)
It will be expensive....but I can get parts for cheap. You know me man! lol!
How many people have actually used Toda Spec B or C camshafts?? I would like some input on how easy/hard they are to tune properly? Some say that the C's are really hard to tune. This true? Should I just get B's cause they are easier to tune?
