Any way quit *****en, it aint you money that got "waisted" to avoid trendy trendyness... Im goin for I/H/E STR Drag Manifold JE or SRP hi comp pistons darton sleaves (not sure what cams, I might use B series VTEC ones like my frend jason has) goin with a street/strip-port/polish having the crank micro polished/balanced and knife edged... I will prolly need bigger injectors when I am done with this build, a new/highly upgraded ecu and a bottle of nos. This project will take prolly six months (all for the sake of bolting right in) But I expect to see around 200-220 WHP from this setup when I am done with it 
First you never said he had the zc made machined to work like a vtec,which by the way is going to cost alot more than $450(unless it was a "friend price")since in order for it to function it would take a complete RnR of the cams,rockers..everything.You said he made it vtec which for practical purposes tell's people he swapped the head because as I said above there is no point to machining it to do that.Don't say stupid **** like ZC is NOT a stock motor,say "My friends ZC is NOT a stock motor"because a ZC is a stock motor.If people know what your talking about it helps keep confusion down to a minimum.So what ECU are you planning on running?Also you won't need bigger injectors for that set up,the factory ones are fine,a pressure regulator would do you well.
