Default Need Valvetrain Advice

Alright, I’m building a B18B1 with Manley H beam rods, wiseco pistons, and a GSR Head, also adding boost. I’m wanting a high revving reliable build (I know with boost sometimes people say they can’t be reliable but I’m only shooting for 250 wheel so I wanna just way overbuild the engine for the sake of reliability) I was wanting to know what springs and retainers I should run with so I can rev it out to the moon, and least 8.5k 9,000 wouldn’t be bad either. Also what cams to go with, I don’t wanna sacrifice VTEC or anything like that, and I don’t want crazy race cams, maybe just mild camshafts, probably a 9.5:1 to 10:1 ish comp ratio, somewhere in that area. Nothing super crazy, but some good recommendations would be appreciated. I’m just building my dream Honda here so I need some advice on the best parts in the business.

With a 250 hp goal, you have significantly overbuilt your motor.
You could have left it bone stock, bought 4 back up motors (not like you would need them, but just saying) and hit 250 all day long.

Trust me, I know I’ve waaayyyy overbuilt the motor for only 250hp, but thing is, I want reliability, and in the future to be able to turn it up if I feel like it without tearing the motor apart because I have a part that can’t take what I’m throwing at it. My whole goal was to overbuild, better than underbuilding right?
