Default Whats the next step for power?

Hey guys i have some questions and need some opinions. Right now i have a drag 3 kit in my 99 se integra. I have forged pistons 9:1. The bottom end is basicaly done and i was told by my mechanic that it should be able to take over a bar of boost at least. I will be using hondata and 440 dsm injectos.
What i don't know is what to do next? I've read a lot about cams and how most people say that the stock ones are the best. So i figure that option is out. Then what? flywheel to help with the spooling? Is it realy worth the money, i mean for something that is significantly lighter. Then i wonder would there be more benefit in working on the head. Strengthening it.
I blew my bottom end thats why i re-enforced it the second time around. I would like to be able to run 2 bar with out worring about any damage to my head. Or is there any point in running that much boost? I need advice/suggestions, whatever experience you have in this area. I have done searches on lots of topics, but found nothing conclusive. I don't want to waste any money and want to do things right. This car is a daily driver, and i want it to last. Anyways sorry for the long winded story, but any help would be appreciated. Thanx

new injectors! they wont sustain much more than around 375-400 whp and that is if you're lucky...2 bar is quite a bit of boost, not a whole lot of people on here even attempt that, but good luck, and make sure you have top notch fuel management...

My buddy had DSM injectors in his GSR and they maxed out at 285whp, so injectors would be good to buy next.

Ok so larger injectors, cool. But is there anything else i should do. Im not saying im going to run 2 bar but i would like to bulletproof my engine in case i plan to in the future. Like i said before i was going to go the route of beefing up the internals but i understand that it doesn't benifit as much as it would on n/a cars. Can anyone answer the question about flywheels? Are they worth the money, do you find your car any faster (obviously no gain in hp but quicker to spool). Thanx
