My current set-up:
S14 SR, Kouki (kouki turbo) Boosting 1.0 bar
Trust 1.2mm Headgasket
BC single wound valve springs
Tomei 256 PONcams
Tomei RAS
KTS oil pan
Stainless Manifold (don't know the manufacturer)
GTR fuel pump
KOYO 3 core radiator
FMIC
With my "special" final gear, I am able to keep up with 400hp cars no problem...this set-up is SUPER responsive and SUPER reliable...it's a mild build but has the right parts in the right areas and is geared more towards keeping everything reliable.

BC Springs are by far the cheapest when I've been looking at spring options, I guess I'm wondering though if they will work well with the Tomei or HKS Stage1 cams? I don't know enough about the springs in terms of rate, and performance over the stock OEM ones.

Dont go over kill on the cams, get some Tomei poncams, 256 or 260s and you should be golden.
For the head, I'd upgrade the valve springs, valves and retainers.

Thanks for the input. I guess the SR20 head really flows well, even with a basic cam upgrade. A lot of people just say "cams" when talking generally about good upgrades for the SR but obviously there are a lot of different options so that helps me understand that even a basic cam upgrade works well. I have a few friends here that are into drifting, but don't know as much about SR20 tuning, and how to get good power out, while not blowing the motor a year later. I'd really like to meet some Japanese or even guys stateside that are into tuning.
