and i agree, if you have a shop build it, and design it so it can rev high, then it is possible to have a ls/vtec combination that can make some serious power and be reliable. But it's rare because most people are trying to just slap on a vtec head to their 120xxx mile B series block and think they're going to break some horsepower record. So i'd say that without doing internal work and other things to complement the new head, then ls/vtec is stupid/pointless.
point in case
backyard built ls/vtec= sucks more than a hoover
properly built ls/vtec with new internals= can kick ass
