Dude...that is good news on the motor, The STD's are probably pretty light already, so a nice 108-ish HP will be q-u-i-c-k - and probably just as fast as any Si out there, maybe a little quicker given the lighter car
If you don't mind my $0.02, I would also add 'replace the water pump' to that list. When motors sit for any extended period with a tensioned timing belt on them they wear out the water pump seal, then it leaks. Once you take off the timing belt covers to replace the timing belt, the water pump is right there, and pops right off (4 or 5 bolts) and costs about $35.
I would also recommend buying only genuine Honda parts for anything internal (except obviously things like the aftermarket cam) to ensure a proper, correct fit. I would never trust Pep Boys or Trak Auto parts for inside the engine.
I just bought a whole bunch of OEM parts for my ZC at www.hondaautomotiveparts.com , they charge a $5 handling fee for each order, but their prices are great, and after you hit about $40 in parts, you've already saved that $5.
