Believe me when I say it Honda knows what they're doing. If you are going to get the port and polish done just have them port match the intake mani to the head and the exhaust mani to the head. Honda heads are very high flow. Regarding the came stick with the stock one and get a vtec controller. To much valve overlap can cause a lot of headaches. The only cams I recommend are Skunk2, reason being is because they try to match the manufacturing process that honda has. I think they are coming out with a turbo friendly cam soon. I'd also recommed spoon cams and mugen ones but i don't think they make turbo friendly SOHC cams.

Just a lil reference a friend of mine and myself put togther a d16z6 w/ 9.0:1 comp pistons and rods in a stock block w/ a blockgaurd and have run low 13's to high 12 sec 1/4mile time @ 5psi boost. All this under 6000.00 including the car (94 honda civic ex) Skip the greedy kit put it together yourself a lil research and some know how with proper tuning go along way.
