Its all good. no slapping what so ever 
i had this setup, except with itr cams, which are close to the spoons, with a milled head even.

i would suggest skunk2 stage 2 cams and skunk2 valve springs.
spoon cams are way too mild compared to stage 2's.
which offer way more gains.

it really depends on what setup you have. but ya, with his setup, bigger cams would rip

u can run a thinner one but if u go use bigger cams like the s2 stg 2 then clay for clearance jsut in case u never know , one persons set up is not a good comparison clay ur own !

with an LS/VTEC you have to use the LS/VTEC head gasket, cuz it doesn't have a hole for the oil galley which a vtec head would have.

i don't think you have what it takes to build an itb powered motor
u can't even figure out what HG to use
i and two other ppl said LS hg and your still not sure?
i built a b20/vtec couple months ago and used the b20 hg
depends on how you do the dowel pins....if you drill the head...then yes use an ls hg....if you drill the block ....then you will have to use a vtec hg .....

i just wanted to check because i was asking about the layers or whatever about it, the differences between a LS hg or a B16 hg well anyways thanks for all the help i will be claying the motor for valve-to-piston clearance

i have your exact set up except with ITR cams instead of Spoon Cams, there is no clearance issues with this set up. if you start playing with diffrent head gasket thicknesses/headmilling/block decking you need to clay. if you dont know how to clay i would either learn (see http://www.c-speedracing.com) or do not mess with big cams and thin gaskets. you will run in to trouble if you do not clay.
also everyone that said use an ls head gasket is right. you do not use vtec head gaskets for any reason on ls/vtec. if you get your head drilled, you drill the head for the ls dowel pins on the BACK of the head. the vtec dowels are in the front hence no need for vtec head gasket.
if its built right, it will be a fun motor trust me
