Default JDM GSR Head build Q's?

Here's the deal. I own a 94 JDM B18c1. I want to make more power, but keep the bottom end stock for financial purposes. Here are the parts I was thinking of going with:

Skunk2 Pro series IM
ITR throttle body
Rage Try-Y header
ARP head studs
Omni Power high compression valves
Omni Power dual valve springs and titanium retainers
Cams?
Injectors?

I'm going to use high compression valves and a thinner headgasket to raise the compression a little bit to make more use out of the cams. But my problem lies here. I am not sure with what cams would go good with my setup, or what size injectors to use. If anybody has any imput or information that would be helpful I would appreciate it. Oh yeah, this will be tuned on chrome.

Pro 1's or 2's, perhaps Toda C's. 310's should be plenty, but why not go with 440's and leave yourself room to grow.

If you have not already purchased the Intake Mainfold why not go with a AEBS or Blox unit to save a few more dollars. AEBS also offers a very affordable throttle body.

I am a big fan of having a valvejob done while any head is off you may want to see what your local options are and have that done. Insted of buying Omni valves you could also mill your head some to increse compression and save a few more dollars. The increse from the omni valves is minimal.

I see you left out cam gears in your list and they are quite important if you plan on getting the most out of your build, and are a must if you decide to mill the head.

I already have the intake manifold. I bought it right before I did my swap. I couldn't stand the snail manifold. I forgot to put cam gears on the list, but I didn't forget about them. I don't want to mill the head. I was lookin into valve jobs, and that will probobly be done as well. Any thoughts on good cams?

well , the $$$ you spend on valves and head studs , that you don't realy need could get you some ITR or B16 pistons that would get more out of a good set of cams. I have a set of Blox HSL's and Pro 1's if you need cams

I really dont feel like tearing into the bottom end. It only has 40k miles on it, and runs perfect.
