man stop dreaming you have a nice strong motor as is...jsut spray it....or get a zc it has 130 hp adn is dirrect bolt in...hence you could do it yourself...motor will be $600-800...and ls vtec's are garbage it will blow in probobly 2 day's or 10 seconds spraying it....

why spray a ls/vtec should put down 200hp to the wheels if done correctly!

exactly if you want to spend seriosu cash than ya it's a dirty setup but other than that it's a hard edge setup that coudl blow at any time...get a zc corey or spray your motor both are cheap and doable yoru self which saves $$$$ so jsut pick a route and DO IT!!!!
