haha im so good i build mine without takin the block outa the car! woot woot! in the long run tho if u want to make the most power, youll need to move more air. the easiest way to do that is with a 2l setup. BUT....i love the way my ls vtec runs right now. like i said, beat on daily, bone stock gsr head, bolt ons, itr pistons, and a good street tune. it makes around 180 at the wheels, and gets 34 mpg. ive got cams on the way, but this has been my setup for over a year now and i have no complaints at all. do it right n ull be happy.
