mostly true except the boost with vtec part. i can see you are a little biased being that you bought a GSR and boosted it, and people have probably told you that you shouldnt boost a motor with a high compression ratio, and you are just trying to make yourself feel better. If your internals are stock, a turbo LS will beat your turbo GSR because of the fact that the LS motor can boost a whole hell of a lot more than your GSR motor can because of compression ratio. You will be able to beat a turbo LS if you spend some money out of that endless bank account of yours and buy some 9.0:1cr pistons/rods then you can beat a turbo LS, and then you will still be paying almost $7000 when a turbo LS will only cost $4000. Not to mention when you start boosting at higher psi you will actually lose horsepower because of a little thing called overlap when your boost is shot out your tail pipe because the vtec had to keep the exhaust valve open longer. Do you think papadakis or ANY other boosted 4cyl/6cyl/8cyl in the single digits 1/4 have vtec? no. thankyou, have a nice day.
