A correctly set up fuel pressure regulator may help a little but is not necessary, And assuming your bottom end is ok you wont need rings or rods for bolt on mods like TB/IM.

Great, love NA cars and hope this whole project will give me some good power!!! When i have this head and stuff installed, can i keep my current timing belt? It only has 35k or so on it.

Funny but i still have to drive to school everyday!!! Here a question for ya. I've heard that a Z6 head on a Y8 block will loose some compression. What head gasket would be the best if i want to regain the compression? or even gain some!

I would do the Intake Manifoldm because when you remove the head, ya gotta take off the IM too. My rules say "Never take a stock part off, and put it back, if ya can replace it with a better aftermarket part, that will create more power.

Yeah, the z6 combustion chambers are a bit bigger. About half a point worth.
Some suggestions on head gaskets...
OE Honda metal 3-layer, Aā€™pexi 1.1mm (.043ā€¯) PN 814-h101, Aā€™pexi 1.5mm (.059ā€¯) PN 814-h102, or Greddy 2mm (.079ā€¯)
Obviously the thinner you go, the higher the compression. Where are you trying to get to compression-wise?
