There is nothing wrong with the ls/vtec setup
I have agrgued this point several times. Yes, if you go turbo it will be much cheaper. But I like the LS/VTEC setup because it is more of a challenge. Its also more money but who cares. Anyone can take their car to a performance shop and say heres 4 grand put a turbo in my car, and run 13’s depending on the driver.
You have probely read the article about the r/s ratio being bad and all that but its really not that big of a problem if you don’t rev very high. I’ll agree it is a good article but heres something for you to look at all of thoughs who doubt the LS/VTEC look at this site.
