Default b18c1 all motor setup questions

I know it's been covered many, many times, i read a few of them, but i would like to get a better idea that fits my setup.

What do u guys think?
I have most of these parts, some i need to get:

Skunk2 stg1 cams and cam gears
Type r springs and retainers
ferrea valves
Wiseco 11.5-11.8 pistons 81mm
Eagle rods
Arp head studs
All gaskets, bearings etc.
190 fuel pump already in car
b&m fpr
injen intake with k&n
skunk2 intake manifold
throttle body?? lookin for a good budget one!!
dc headers
chipped ecu
Fidanza flywheel
act 4 puck
n1 ctr crankpulley
msd ignition

The reason why im going with stg1 cams is b/c i contacted skunk2 and was told in order to make good power with the stg2 u need to rev up to 9k and raise the vtec to 6k. Im plannin on revin to 8-8.2. Will i need anything else for my fuel system? Injectors or Fuel rail??

what you have is fine. just because it's type r doesnt automatically make it better.

You're concerned on doing a fuel rail, yet no questions about engine management or tuning? Are you one of those guys that just throws a buncha parts at there car and expects it to go fast?

Tuning should be part of your build plan...not something you do after it's completed. Right now it sounds like you are throwing parts at it with no real direction as to what you really want. The best builds are the ones that start off with a plan and end with a solid build...not the other way around.

Injector size is debatable but I went with RC 310's. They were cheap and available at the moment, I raised my rail pressure to 60 psi, injectors are aroung 80% duty cycle and I still get around 30 mpg with 207 whp.

If you can find either 370's or 310's for a decent price, go for it.

Dc headers are good for there cost. They don't move enough air when your going for a N/A or S/C application though. It will hold back the high end since the piping diameter is smaller then others.

alright check out the sig. then i would say go and get the skunk2 pro 1's, with some way better springs and retainers. next it just kinda depends and what your overall goal is with the car, anything under like 200would be fine with the DC type r replica's but you just have to think if that is all you want or more. Question tho why are you only planning to rev to 8 and 8.2 i mean i just rev to where the tuner or my setup allows. get the right parts and you can rev to 9.5 all day no problems??
