Default Best HP set up for d16z6 turbo

Here is my current setup


95 civic ex (d16z6)
td04h turbo ( set at 6p)
440 rc injecters
Performer x Intake manifold
BBK 62mm throttle body

Tein Suspension

I was wondering what my next step should be. Im still looking for more power but do not want to bore + sleeve my engine yet cause its almost brand new (threw a rod). I was thinking of a zex 59300 cam + springs +valve+ retainer, or fordged pistons and rods. If anyone could help me out with what i should do next, it would help.

I would go with Forged Pistons and Rods. And throw on some ARP Headstuds if you don't already have them.

there is no sense in doing pistons or rods at this time. You would have to rebuild the engine to do it at the very least you would have to rehone the block to install the new pitons and rods. I would stick with doing the valve train

why would i have to rehone the block if my engine is brand new? I have under 4000 miles on the new motor and new turbo. I have about $2500 now and cant decide what to do next that safely alows my to boost to at least 15+ boost

why are you using 440cc injectors and only pushing 6 psi? turn the boost up and get tuned on 10 psi if you want more power

I have a fully built y8 with eagle rods, vitara pistons, zex 105300 cam, titanium valve train. It's cabably of 450whp with stock sleeves. I would get the cam, I got the cam before I boosted it and it was the best $240 I ever spent!!! The turbo loves it too!!!
