Default Am I missing anything in this setup?

I have a set-up that has been dyno-proven to make 656 horsepower and over 400 pounds of torque, but I was wondering if what I have is enough, if I’m missing some important parts, or there are better choices than the parts below (I’m not really serious about dumping all my money into a new GSR engine and all the parts, but if I do, I want to know what I’m getting into lol). And also how you think it would run on the street?

1. 1.8L GSR engine
2. Sleeved block
3. Bored from 81mm to84mm
4. Dart head (complete with Ferrea valvetrain, and CNC-ported intake and exhaust ports)
5. Lapped valves
6. Cometic head gasket
7. Moroso oil pump
8. Moroso oil pan
9. Skunk2 Stage 2 cams
10. Skunk2 adjustable cam sprockets
11. Skunk2 intake manifold
12. HP performance turbo manifold
13. Innovative Turbo GT72 (Q-trim turbine wheel and 0.81 A\R ratio)
14. Vortech air-to-water aftercooler
15. Hondata programmable ECU
16. 810cc fuel injectors
17. AEM fuel rail
18. Aeromotive adjustable fuel-pressure regulator
19. Crane HI6 ignition amplifier
20. Moroso plug wires
21. Denso Iridium spark plugs

Thanks for all your help!

Are the Skunk2 cams Turbo cams or N/A?
The Skunk2 IM seems to be more of a N/A IM than a turbo IM.

This is directly from Skunk2's site:

Turbo: Turbo profiles are designed for engines with forced induction. Aggressive lift and valve opening/closing motions allow these cams to maximize power with a minimum amount of overlap. Each profile is designed with extensive input from the top racers in the sport compact industry.

for starters use the stock cams from your GSR, they are arguably one of the best sets of turbo cams... talking from what i have researched. although certain apps work well with CTR cams

Be prepared to spend way more money than you originally intend. Mostly it's small things that add up...for example: I'm building my turbo kit and am within a month of bolting it all on.

Here is a list of things you'll need that you don't have:

Wastegate
Intercooler
Blow Off Valve
Charge Pipe
Oil Feed/Return Lines
Downpipe/Exhaust components
Silicone connectors
T-Bolt Clamps
Random Hardware [nuts/bolts/etc]
Vacuum lines/fittings/etc

All the small stuff adds up. I initially thought I was going to spend about $3800 and have it on the car...My current tab is at $4400, and I estimate another hundred spent before I have it on the car. Then it's however much it's going to cost to tune it.

I think I will stay with the stock cams! And I'll save a bit of money too!

........ Oh no lol. Ok, so then I guess I won't be able to afford it and I'll just have to do a mild setup (maybe.. 200hp) the D series I already have.
