I agree with your position on LS/VTEC motors..to a point. It's been well documented that the stock LS conrods have issues when asked to rev past 7 grand.

IMO, a well-built VTEC conversion truly requires the GSR crank girdle, oil pump and upgraded rod bolts at a minimum. Either that or a strict adherence to a 6800-7000 rpm redline.
