Ls/VTEC will give u more compression.. It has more compression the GSR itself...

if you wanted high displacement then get a h22. id pick the gsr b/c its already built, no need to add vtec head. and the bigger your stroke for a given deck height, the lower rpm you can rev it. if youre gonna get sleeves then it could be rebored right there to 84mm and youll have 2L.
oil squirters help alot in terms of reliability, especially at high rpms. id personally go with the gsr block. to me stroke should be low, so most of the displacement would be from bore size. the difference between the gsr and ls isnt even that great. the ls has a stroke just 1.8mm larger, with the sacrifice of a low r/s ratio.
