The more aggressive cam profile that VTEC uses for high RPM helps any motor, regardless of whether it's normally aspirated or running forced induction. The GSR cylinder head also flows much better numbers, and the high compression ratio produces more power (it won't detonate as long as there's proper tuning).
yes your right the cams are more aggressive.and its not really it in a nutshell!! there is much to debate.does anyone have flow bench #s for a GSR and the LS heads?and stock LS/GSR cam specs?the higher gsr compresion would mean you would not be able to run as much boost,and less total ignition timming! what about the staged plenum?its my understanding correct?
