The Setup you have now seems like a good entry level one. You could throw some Crower Stage 3's in it and bump the compression up a point or so.
I hear ya on the research. I wanted to start by asking here because I figured with so many of us having to be searching for something similar, I could get pointed in the right direction before I went out and started spending my money. I like the setup I have now I just don't know if I feel like putting the money out to finish it or if I should find a vtec head and do the LS/Vtec setup for the extra flow.

It's kinda like I'm so close to finishing this one that I want to just get it done but I know that Vtec would be such a fun thing to drive.....And I'm very sad to admit this but...I have yet to drive any car that hits Vtec. I'm so ashamed

That sucks. It looks like the rad support might be bent. Get one thing fixed and something else happens

Do the 1pc headlights cancel out the whole 3pc setup? like the brackets that hold the headlight and the foglight need to get taken out and the 1pc just fits in?
and what is the rad support?

rad support = Radiator Support
The bar like thing that goes from the left fender to the right and it holds on your headlights, radiator, and the bumper support and front bumper.

If that is bend then the whole front end will not line up properly. In most cases if the insurance company see's the radiator support is bend and needs to be replaced they will just total the car out. It sucks but I would take it to a body shop and see what they say if it is bent or not. Good Luck man!

Yeah, just take off the whole brackets. The one piece should fit in perfectly.
