Build it for boost, or toss it for a DOHC if you wanna make more than 160whp (unless you have gobs of money you can throw at it to make it a all-motor SOHC build).

No power there. Boost or swap.

I think boost is your best bet for making power out of that d16z6. A simple turbo kit could do the job probably. They say tuning is the most important when going with f/i. If I were you I would definitely check complete turbo kits out, or maybe try to piece a kit myself. check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com you might find some useful information on there.
