Thanks everyone. I will be happy if I can put down 275whp but it's yet to be determined if that's overly optimistic. I'm only planning on revving it to 8k. And I haven't decided what type of fuel management to use. I originally thought about an EMS and I have also heard good things about Emanage Ult but now that Hondata has released a K-Pro I am really thinking about that.
As for overbore, I decided to keep it stock. I've kinda kicked myself over that because after I bought my pistons, I found out that Mahle makes them .25 over which I don't think would have been pushing the FRM lining too thin but it's a moot point now. And I don't know why I posted it in JDM, I guess it seemed a little more at home here instead of just under general discussion.

Very nice man...can't wait to see the results 
As for your engine management, do it right and get the EMS or Hondata...you definitely don't want to go cheap on this, as all your hard work could go down the (very expensive) drain.

Looks like its going well. Keep us updated. And don't get over optimistic with numbers. 275 is attainable with quite a few mods, but don't worry about numbers.
These stroker motors really shine in the low end. Forget needing to shift out of 6th when you want to pass someone
Again, good luck, let us know.

My only concern w/ this kit is there appears to be a good amount of custom work involved, such that the performance and reliability of the 2.4L will ultimately depend on the shop's work.

As for the blockguard, they're pretty safe. There are coolant holes predrilled in them and they are not welded into the block, like I have heard people say. It's an inexpensive way to strengthen the open deck design of the cylinders compared to resleeving.
I am not going to go cheap with an ecu, I have just heard good things about the Emanage Ult. I still have some work to do before I need to choose.

I'm not caught up in the numbers because of the low end increase. I keep getting asked how much power it will make but I don't have an expectation.
