you should buy my head.....on a stock b16 block it makes 167.7whp. I'll even toss in the chip i made for it on the dyno (or a p28 with that chip if need be). Its a b16 head thats been ported and polished, 3 angle valve job, milled .030", crane stage 2 cams, crane dual valve springs and titanium retainers, ferria valve locks, adjustable cam gears. PM me for more info if ur interested. Its still on my car so you can see it running. For whats done, you would spend double what i want for it. Hell a good set of cams and matching valvetrain will run ya close to $1500.

Well start with all of the bolt-ons, intake, header, exhaust, intake manifold, then start thinking about different cams/valvetrain, depending on what cams you choose they would really benefit from (if not almost require) a good port and polish and a valve job, and maybe mill it a bit to raise the compression some to get the most of the cams (mine is milled .030" to raise the compression like 1 full point up from 10.4:1 like a stock second gen b16). Then get some adjustable cam gears so you can really dial those cams in on the dyno. Then pay a tuner $500-1000 to street tune/dyno tune it.
i'm not trying to push my parts on you, but honestly buying someones setup is the cheapest way to get the most amount of power for the least amount of money. If you bought all the parts yourself you would spend double.
Seriously, $1500 for cams/valvetrain/gears, $600-$1000 for machine work, $300-1000 tuning.
