The LS has a slightly bigger stroke.The GSR has a stroke of 87.2mm and the LS has a stroke of 89mm, so yes an LS-VTEC can have a little more power, but it's nominal.

An LS-VTEC will run fine, but it's not going to last forever like a factory-equipped VTEC motor. They're known to burn and leak oil. By the time you put the money into a LS-V built, you could have probably found a GSR motor. The LS internals aren't very well balance, they're not built for the high RPM's, etc.
