looks pretty good, but you might want to scale back your cam a bit. The pro 1 skunks are basicly a stage 3 cam by most standards and probably will kill your compression. Stage 1 or 2 standard skunk cams could actually outperform the Pro1 in your application. You could go with a two-layer head gasket to bump up compression. I would say the Pro 1 are going to need better than 12:1 to shine.
Another issue with those cams is the valve/piston clearance. Don't know if your head is shaved or your block decked but lift is a Hella 12.6 mm on pro 1 cams, so I would clay clearances on the vtec lobes if I were you. Also be sure you have plenty of spring so you don't bind up - remember, that lift is a full .6mm more than Jun 3 cams.
