I am starting to become a little bit skeptical about doin ls vtec. Wouldn't it make more sense money wise to just build the motor + bolt ons? I would really like to go for around 150whp.. but i know that is gonna put me over $1000 bucks most likely. This is what i had in mind:
ported/polished head, crower valve train
crower 403 cams, stock cam gears?
jdm p30 pistons
stock LS rods
stock LS computer - no vafc or anything else of any kind
stock header or possibly an upgrade if worth it.
cold air intake
skunk2 intake manifold
etc.
Not sure on what to use for exhaust. I want something quiet tho

What kind of pricing are we looking at for that list? I need as much input as possible! Again, I will most likely not be doing the work because i have no time, i work 50+ hrs a week. Rangcrx, PM me and let me know what you think.
