ls/vtec's don't rev as well as gsr/R blocks....
and while ls/vtec's make power i'm not a fan because its not oem which makes them less reliable...given that fact they are still great engines when built correctly and tuned immediately.
the R block is the best b-series motor, and it does have an OEM girdle, stock. i like the R block (and its the reason i bought a brand new one from honda) because its made by honda which means the clearances are perfect and its guaranteed for a year.
of course the debate will rage on although i think it comes down to a matter of reliability vs performance vs price.
