ok guys i've hunted and searched. read pointless, retarded questions with crazy expectations and I'm pretty much left with nothing. but builds that are either close to what I'm thinking about building and people that throw out go ls,gsr, or b20. so lets get down to the basics what what I'm here to ask.

b16a2 block stock 81mm bore
oem b16b ctr pistons
stock b16a2 rods
stock b16a2 head
gsr or b16a2 cams
undecided on what head gasket thickness. depending on clearences and cr

this is just what I'm going with just a basic na build. i have a type r intake manifold and 70mm tb from another car that i will probably be using. I've used the compression calculator and came up with a static of 11.91:1 and effective of 11.59:1 I'm not looking for crazy hp or anything just a fun pump gas little build. whats some main issues I'm going to have to watch? pistons meeting the valves? also whats some points to add some power while being safe also? ecu tuning isnt a problem being that the car is currently with crome pro.

Don't expect any additional torque.
Keep your OEM headgasket
Might have more rpms to work with if better valveetrain were used.
You're using an OEM camshaft, which honestly, won't make anymore power.

The only issues you'd be dealing with are whether or not you (or your builder) can put this together. THat's really about it.

i would use a stock headgasket
otherwise your piston to head clearance will be very small.
and dont use a type r style manifold use your stock p30 b16 intake mani.
its nearly impossible to beat the stock manifold till 8200 rpm.
so if you dont use a high duration cam. stock manifold with 60mm throttle body is best.
proven on many dynos.
i would look out for a itr/ctr or skunk tuner 1 cam
