Just food for thought...
Mr. Spoon himself has actually commented on LS/VTEC setups, saying he has no idea why people commonly go that route given the options available.
There was a video somewhere where he went in depth about it...I dont remember where that was unfortunately.
The way I see it? No SERIOUS modification to our motors where output is increased by a great amount can reasonably be expected to remain as reliable as stock. So someone saying it may not be a good idea because it may not last 200k like a stock motor would...well...duh.
