well first things first how much are you looking to spend...i would suggest you call John Wilson at LHT he can answer any price questions for you and any power questions and do the swap when you are ready. he is an awesome guy give him a call at (727)344-1800

Ive got access to 3 GSR motors right now as well as a LS/VTEC making 175/135. I am sure kenji would be more than willing to do the install and he usually will have you done by dinner.

LS/VTEC is worth it. I plan on doing a poor mans CRV/VTEC...which is actually an expensive LS/VTEC. Lost yet?
