Throttle body's too big, you really don't need more than 65mm on that build. Are you looking for a stock 4-1 tubular style factory header or something like a DC JDM 4-1 header because they should be relatively easy to find, especially on ebay.

I used a Buddy Club 2 layer headgasket along with a certain amount of head milling to get me to the compression level I needed. I'm still doing some fine tuning with my Hondata setup and haven't yet dyno'd it but I'm confident that it will put down at least 190hp+ at the wheels. With a good header like SMSP, I'm sure I'd be in the magical 200whp range. Either way, the dyno is mainly a tuning tool and the numbers don't mean anything, it's the numbers at the end of the 1/4 mile track that tell the true story.
