First thing I thought of course being a turbo guy, but I want to build an all motor car that will be my DD/autox car after the GRM challenge.

After researching it seems ls/vtec is the way to go, and within my budget. new list follows...

head $400
p30/p3 pistons $100 (used)
cam gears $75
used skunk2/obx/ebay intake manifold $100
ebay header $75
conversion kit/gasket kit/timing belt/misc $250

Wow, great price! I assume these are exact replacements for p3's or p30's? So valve clearance, CR and such will be the same? Im not sure which head I am getting yet, but I heard the GSR IM is pretty restrictive, no?

Probably end up getting whichever I can find cheaper. I hear the GSR has a better designed combustion chamber, but a poor IM, and the b16 has a much better IM but lacks this advantage. Haven't really looked in to it yet but I will keep reading.

Ok I have a similar set up to what your talking about and I just had my car on the dyno at pete place in St Pete on Saturday. I made 167 at the wheels all motor. Ill be back later this week or this weekend with an exhaust cut out (electric or vacume not sure at this point) and running spray.
But, you was looking for 150 and I made 167 NA. LS/VTEC

PM me if you liked but I can hook up on OEM new parts.

Also, on my personal stash, I have a set of OEM USDM ITR pistons pulled out of a new
B18C5 block.
