Rep Power: 304 swapping to the ex "vtec" engine wont give you much more power. lots of lx/dx owners are doing the vtec head swap. nobody has gotten it dynoed to see what kinda power it yields. you will recieve small gains with bolt on parts so it's like you either get all or nothing. Small gains with boltons or big gains with turbo. Another option would be to swap the base rsx engine. its rated at 160 hp. lots of choices to play with.
