sounds like a good setup so far, I would go with skunk retainers though. skunk makes some good valves to, they make high comp valves that'll bring up compression by about .4 , right now as it sits your looking at a 11.4:1 compression, those skunk valves might bring it up to about 11.8:1, good for some good power.

oh sorry, you said usdm B18c5 pistons, that give a compression of 10.8:1, personally I would use P30's to yeild a compression of 11.6:1.

what oversized? the vales? I would'nt get into all that, if you did, you just need the head ported to match the valve size, thats the whole point of oversized valves... is to run a larger intake port.

Don't get oversized valves. If you get itr valves the head will need a 3 angle valve job since the cit on the itr valves is different than the gsr ones. Don't order valves and such until you pick up a head and check it out. If you end up picking up a head that has valves and they are in good condition then use those. There really isn't too much difference when upgrading to itr valves, the money could be better spent elsewhere. Skunk 2 valves are not needed with your setup.

Get jdm itr pistons. 11.3:1 comp ratio, perfect for your setup. Get .25mm oversized.
