I think you're wasting your money using that block (since you're spending so much elsewhere), but you must have a reason. Look around the archives (search button, select archives) and you'll find examples. The first thing you should do is ask "what do i want for power?"

For sub-300whp, don't touch anything (besides seals/guides).
For 300-400whp, ITR cams.
>400whp, ITR or bigger cams, depending on the turbo.

FYI OEM b16 cams can carry you to 400whp with the right turbo kit.
