I disagree with VVL motors being more realiable then turbo motors, it's all in how it's built. You are right on your next part tho, you really can't loose either way..... unless you're in a VVL motor racing a turbo ~

 

A DE-T motor will easily lay down some nice numbers even with a little T25 and some 370cc injectors you'll see 250whp, which at one point in time i was going with, i already had the most of my turbo parts... but had to sell them to fund my 5-speed swap in my 200SX, which is now complete and has been for over month and i cant complain one bit.
