Don't understand how you can get 200hp to the wheels (or 40 more from the SI from the crank) by replacing a block from a 195hp engine from the crank. ???

Mods: ported/polished head (port matched and polished intake manifold), dc header, custom intake, milled head 30 thousandths, custom titanium muffler
considering that the b16 and b18 use pretty much the same head... you aren't stroking anything.
you are pretty much going to do a b18 swap.
the itr head and intake are better than the b16 anyways, as they are developed even further, so i would hazard to guess that you would possibly lose power compared to the itr hp ratings.

stock ITR's put around 165 to the wheels. that's with the whole b18c5 motor. you're using a b16 head which produces lower h/p numbers. even with JUN stage 3's i think it's a stretch.
I think with a B18 block, around 12:1 compression pistons, port job on the head and combustion chamber, Jun Stange 3 valvetrain. Can get you to 200whp. Also consider an upgraded intake manifold and throttle body.
Peak HP isn't really where this motor will shine. It'll make power across the powerband.
