Same as any other frankenstein build, you have to plug and re-route the vtec oil passages. You'll typically see about 180 HP and 180lb/ft of torque out of one of these setups without much tweaking.

I'd say 180 ft/lb is a little much, most are in the 140's with a mild build. And if you want to rev that block out to 7500-8000 rpm reliably you are going to need to do some work to that block, it wasn't meant to rev over 7k.
