See this is what LS VTEC spawned from .. Good example. You used what ya had to make some power no going out and buying ARP this Weisco that and bla bla bla in the end what youd pay for a strong reliable LS VTEC to Boost you could just buy a nice ass GSR for... But then again you had the engine built by a shop, again good example 150miles and boom... Not bashing you just using you as an example of my previous statements.
So i Stand by my previous statements... But yours is a very good example of what im talking about.
