Default New to all motor

I've never asked about anything concerning allmotor, so here goes....I have an EG(eh) hatch, and its got an integra LS in it. I want to get more power without having to worry about reliability issues of a turbo, and I'd be really happy getting around 200whp out of it, now the question is, besides pistons and some valvetrain work, what else should I do that would get me to that 200hp mark?

If i was gonna "piece" a turbo kit together, id have hondata, lovefab sst mani, t3t4oe, and a tial wastegate, so i think i could live with some work to my motor, isnt it true that the LS bottom end is kinda weak and that could use some building too, or is that where the rods come in?

If you have the money, which it seems you do, I would go with an ITR head, a really good header (smsp,dtr,etc), CTR pistons and some skunk stage 1's or 2's depending on what compression you plan on going with. Of course though you are going to want some really good tuning with hondata or AEM EMS.
