HOWS IT GOIN EVERYONE. LISTEN I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING THE LS/VTEC CONVERSION, YET AFTER DOING ALOT OF RESEARCH, I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS WORTH MY WHILE. I WILL BE GOING TO THE TRACK OCCASIONALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, BUT I MAINLY WANTED SOME GOOD POWER FOR THE STREETS. I WOULD ONLY BE REVVING AROUND 6000 TO 7000 RPMS IF THAT, WHEN I AM NOT ON THE TRACK, AND I WOULD NOT BE DOING THIS ALL THE TIME. WOULD I FEEL ANY MAJOR POWER GAINS THROUGH 3000 TO 7000 RPMS? I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO REV 8000 RPMS JUST TO GET A GOOD POWER GAIN. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT I WANT A RELIABLE ENGINE. JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK, AND IF I SHOULD NOT DO THE CONVERSION, SOME OTHER SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME. THANKS

For starters don’t ever type in all caps, expect to get flamed for that. And if you’re not planning on going past 7000rpms then you have no need for VTEC. Get some cams, cam gears, i/h/e and get on a dyno. You can get around 140-150whp which is what a pretty basic ls/VTEC setup would get you without having to rev past 7.
why is he yelling at me… Caps lock man… is this your first time on the Web ???
YELLING IS BAD AND HARD TO READ

your best friend in the whole wide world is this magic button:
yeah what these guys said- but anyway:p
if you don’t want to revv to 8k then just modd your ls motor dont do a vtec head conversion or vtec motor swap. With the ecu setup I have now(pr3-it friggin sucks IMO) my vtec x-over is at 4800 rpm’s at WOT, but my peak in power is at about 7500-7800 rpms’s- so if for some weird reason you don’t want power on that part of the rpm range, then vtec is not for you. My suggestion is to scrap the 4 bangers all together and buy a v8 mustang that peaks at about 3500-4k -If you dont wanna revv high- then get a car with a bigger displacement engine that would explode if it ever saw 8k’s in stock form.
Damn. sorry guys i didnt realize it such a big deal, it was just an accident. i did this at work and sometime i have to have it on caps lock. anyway if any of you have any suggestions to the question i originally asked, that would be cool. thanks integulator
