Angry ls/vtec build need some info.

hey fellas im new to this forum and live in Annandale....my problem is this: like an idiot i took my b18a long block to inline pro...(keep in mind i am a broke ass 19 year old)...anyways i was planning on building the motor for boost at about 15-17psi max...so they told me i wouldnt need sleeves and i should leave the deck open..so i said ok u guys are professional i will listen to u....next they hooked me up with a set of turbo rods and pistons(9:1)comp. and a gsr head reconditioned and the vtec conv. and they are also machining to head to fit on the ls block and drilling for oil...for everything that they did for me the total is $3050.00 ya ya ya i know very F#@#ing stupid....well now i have to purchase valve train (quick question will the block hold when i rev to 9.5k?????) cams, and a bunch of other stuff..any advice where i should go for good solid but cheap help because i really need it...perferably a hondata dealer.

i wanted to keep the motor non vtec but they talked me out of it and said it would be cheaper to get u in the 12's with a gsr head then with the straight ls motor....also would i need to upgrade the valve train when reving to 8k???

it prolly would be better to upgrade the valve train..but i think it would be fine if you leave it stock
