As soon as kids start snapping rods and putting pistons through cylider walls, they'll realize how important good engine geometry is. Add that to the fact that they're running stock cams (because it's all their engine can safely handle) and getting burned by kids running Todas, or Juns, and they'll wish they had just stuck with their trusty B18C. Like I said, if it was all that great, Honda would have done it in the first place."

That's one ironic post. It's funny how people generally say ls/b20vtecs are so unreliable, I always figured that any heavily modded car has the chance of being unreliable. As for the snapping rods and cylinder walls comment...don't ya wonder why people get sleeves? Hence why I just purchased Darton Sleeves . Stock cams..? Of all the lsvtec/b20vtec people I know..no one has stock cams, and FYI, I used Skunk2Stage2 cams for awhile and it "handled just fine." Oh..and this b20vtec is in a 4dr GSR..so, yes, I opted and sold the b18c1 to try something else..and I might add, I happen to enjoy myself.
