Would recommend a 1320 manifold over the PLM, and either a Ktuned or S90 throttle body over the Skunk2 (would also bump the throttle body size up to 74mm to match your 3" intake). Make sure you port match the manifold to the TB as well. I think your cams are oversized for this application as well, the Pro1 would be a better choice.

RS ITR pistons will put you right around 11.8 or so on compression if I'm thinking of the right set, which is very fine with a decent tune on 92 oct. Everything else on your build list looks great.

You've got to get real aggressive with a camshaft to get 230whp regardless of fuel. But, I would not push more than about 210whp-220whp PEAK on 92-94 octane. You can get about 12.0:1 on 92 octane, but I'd look to the tuner as well. Sometimes when compression is really high, they have to retard tuning so that it behaves better as thought the static compression were slightly lower. So don't look for MAX compression in your development of the build

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll explore my throttle body options a little more and also talk to my local tuners to see what they think about the static compression/cam combo I want to run. As for fueling, any suggestions on injectors? I want to stay away from 440's, I've heard they're sort of an antiquated design and their spray pattern isnt the best. Also, would a standard Walbro 255 do the trick?
Cheers

Standard Walbro 255 will be great. I recently installed a Grams 255lph pump and have had good results with it so far, and it's a bit quieter than the Walbro's I've installed in the past. You can't go wrong with either.

RC injector styles are very antiquated, Bosch is the "new" hotness. As for brands, any FIC/FID/ID injectors would work.

Note on the FID injectors - I bought some at a cheaper price for a turbo S2000 awhile back, 1000cc. They performed and flowed great, no problems on the dyno or road, but the O-Ring didn't seat quite correctly. Had to use some RTV sealant to close it all off. If you consider FID you may want to ask them if they're familiar with that issue or if they know a better fix.

You'll need larger injectors like at least 330cc whether it is the OEM RDX injectors, Rochester Lucas /Delphi or Bosch-style injectors. You want all this power but don't want to properly fuel it, or get larger injectors. Don't limit yourself on these areas. I can easily make 300whp on my Toyota 3S-GTE "old school" injectors, or 400cc Bosch-Style injectors (Injector Dynamics, Fuel Injector Clinic, Grams, South Bay, pick your poison). But you'll need to go larger and have it properly tuned.

As for the Walboro 255lph pump (G342) yes, you're perfectly fine with using that.

Sounds good. Either S300 or Neptune RTP would work great for your tune, I'd ask the tuner which he prefers.

Why are you recommending smaller cams with high compression in order to reach 230 dude? Have you measured pro 1 cams? If so , please tell me what they came out to be when you did. Because I have numbers of pro 1 cams and it makes sense they only produced 208 whp and 151 tq on a stock block b20 with stock gsr head with skunk 2 ultra street and skunk 2 header on e85. On many occasions we made a wee bit less using only ctr cams granted with different intake manifolds but with similar headers.

Chance EG

11.8 isn't quite what I would call high compression by N/A standards.

Pro 1 cams still carry power to 9K RPM, which I think is safe to say is actually over the max RPM that OP will be going to on stock rods.

OP is not using E85, nor is he using an S2 ultra mani.

Oversizing the cams will just sacrifice power down low and make the car harder to drive, and MPG will suffer. Increased valvetrain wear. All for no point or reason.

If OP were to raise compression above the 12:1 mark and/or get forged rods to rev higher and get the full juice out of the Pro2 cams, then it would make more sense.

Since this is at least the second time i've asked you to give your .050 numbers, i can only assume you have never degreed pro series cams. Because pro 1 cams arent as big as you think they are, neither are pro 2 cams. the OP's choice of parts is good other than his IM for his power goal. From the numbers ive seen when pro 1s were degreed and from looking at various motors using them, the OP here isnt overcammed

Chance EG

Nope. Gettin out of here.

ScubaZ6

No reason to get combative, I'm just trying to learn. What would you recommend for an IM for my power goals?

With a cam this big on the primary lobe(pro 2).I dont mind running this engine with 12.5 cr piston.I run 13.0 cr on 94 octane with ultra 2.
