Why invest that much into your engine only to run a $50 rising rate fuel pressure regulator? I wouldn't even consider a fmu. Go with something like hondata (uberdata,chrome,etc) so you can actually tune the motor. Depending on the kind of power your looking to make the 450's might work. They will be good for up tabout 300whp, more then that you'll need larger injectors.

install the pump, get one step colder plugs and tune away. Head work is up to you, if you have the cash laying around go for it.....With forged internals your set-up is good for about 400whp, above that the sleeves become the weak point. 8:1 compression, why so low?
