Hello? i just got an integra LS. So I put CAI, and went to track, run like ten times and my best time was 16.12 Is this good for a stock LS(pretty much stock)? My friend's Subaru 2.5RS did 15.22
I was kinda disappointed for my lauch. My car jumps like crazy when I launch. Maybe i am launching wrong. Also my 3rd gear is really long, it seems like I beat everyone off the line but on third I get eaten.
LOt of people told me to get a V-tec head, is it a good move to inivest? PLease help???

well dont worry about yo times too much, they could be better but like u said it was probably your launchin. practice makes perfect. what were u launching at??? were u dumping the clutch or letting it out?? and what do u mean v-tec head?? go with the norm I/H/E set up and u get a little more. for the long 3rd gear i hear ya on that one, i have same prog. skunk2cams would be good in future, but that comes with other nec. mods, try the search function

I did some research on building LS/vtec. And it seems like getting a B16 head is the best way to go. and it's cheaper. When the v-tec kicks in I will have some high end.
Going turbo is lil more money and risky. Looking for a B16 vtec head??>>

Its not as easy as just plopping a vtec head on and your done. There is a lot of work involved. To learn more check out this link.

that may be true but with a stock bottom end it will still be limited to the b18b's redline. going above that could mean trouble.

and for future reference.... :a:

and actually a b18c1 head will get a slightly higher compression but costs a bit more. they flow just about the same.

Going turbo is a lil more money, and risky? The only thing risky that you're talking about is the ls/vtec. Do some more research, because you obviously don't know what you're talking about. You can turbocharge your car, and it'll put you in the 13's for 2800 dollars.

Low 16's are pretty standard for a stock LS. What were your 60 foot times-- that's generally the best way to tell how your launch is. (Good 60' for LS: 2.0-2.1 I believe).

You will hear massive horror stories about converting the LS to Vtec, and since you have to build the bottom end, change the head, and get some massive fuel management to tune your "new" engine, it requires a lot of work and know-how and ends up in a blown engine if you don't know what you're doing.
