big thing for that would a P&P head and blueprinted/balance block internals and crack etc. upgraded low compression pistons and rods,block guard for safety, titanium valvle springs/retainers, fuel pump upgrade/rail etc..
Just to name a few things involded pretty much..good luck w/ your goal for the 11's..

What?
P&P is a worthless FI mod imo... it's FORCED air.. it doesn't need to be all that smooth... and polishing can lead to fuel stickign to the metal instead of staying airborn...
Upgrading the internals would also be pointless if he's only hoping to run a kit...
Hell you CAN build the internals... but it's gunna piss you off when your kit can't produce enough psi to take advantage of them... and then you spend more money then you did on the kit replacing parts of the kit to make it an actual drag setup...
I wouldn't drop the compression either... that's kind of rediculous imo... unless you're running REALLY high boost it's just robbing you of bottom end power.
Also just my opinion but the B16 is also kinda pointless imo... it doesn't make THAT much more power than a z6 or y8 and it costs MUCH more... the only advantage it really has is seperately tunable cams and exhaust side vtec... which isn't nothing by any stretch but it's not 2500+ worth either...
If I were you I'd try to figure out EXACTLY what you're shooting for...
If it's 11's I don't think a b16 is the best block to start with... I'd go with a turbo LS motor or LS/CRVtec with boost... or even an H22 if they make mounts for the CRX... with a b16 tranny and stock or aftermarkey LSD... You could probobly put that together for less and it will certainly have more potential than a b16...
Don't get me wrong boosted b16's are good shit... but I wouldn't spend the money for a swap without REALLY thinking about the long-term... Why get a b16 for a little less (or more) than a GSR or a LOT more than a LS block/vtec head.
To hit 11's you're going to be maxing out that little 1.6... If you want a maxed out motor that does 11's I'd go with a turbo D16 before I did a b16.... it would be MUCH cheaper both in the build as well as the eventual re-build if need be...

It's a guy selling b16 rods with JDM supra pistons (forged) that you can run upto 18psi on with NO other mods to a D16... I believe he runs 20+psi with NO other internal work besides a thicker headgasket.
