thanks for all the help so far guys!
Don't get discouraged. I told you, there will ALWAYS be people who are against the whole LS/Vtec, and there will ALWAYS be the die hards who swear by this conversion. I'm really neither; rather, someone who can appreciate both arguements. But like I said before, LS/Vtec conversions can be reliable. I know of a couple people who have done this, and neither one of them have had any issues.

Try calling around to a few of the local shops, like some of the sponsers/Garage 5. See what they say. Most of these shops have most likely done all of your suggestions a million times over. They'll know the first hand pros and cons. Not to mention the cost of each route.

Bottom line, you'll have a car that's waaay more fun to drive in the end!
