Im getting a GSR complete swap for $2000 I want to do a mild build on the motor it is my DD my power goal is 200hp IO was thinking maybe ITR cams any other suggestions would be great. Please note im not ballin lol so it will be a budget build.
Shopping list suggestions for GSR build

I'm pretty sure I just want a all motor DD. I have always wanted the GSR swap and after reading crash! Build thread I'm thinking of doing the Itr internals but I'm not sure what exactly I need / want I'm leaning to just head work for time and money but I'm looking for knowledge from experience.
Can I ask why you recommend that to just doing a GSR swap? Money? Power?
200 whp or just 200hp? If u want that to the wheels you'll want at least jdm ITR pistons in it, Skunk2 Pro1/Tuner 2 Cams or equivalent, valvesprings and retainers to compliment the cams, full 2.5 inch exhaust, a good header with 2.5 in outlet, a ITR style intake manifold, and a cai could help AND TUNE!!!. You should be able to hit 200whp with that if not a little more.
Also what all do u get with the swap, I got my swap for $1700 and that came with EVERYTHING necessary too, not just longblock and trans. You'll need mounts, and an AC bracket if u wanna keep that, the shift linkage, a dual core radiator, axles, wiring harness, ecu and theres probably more I'm missing

motor, trans, harness, Ecu , axles, alt, p/s pump, of course I know I would need mounts and I planned on doing a clutch and flywheel with a new hradgasket and timing belt water pump and of course doing the cam and crank and read main seals before it goes in. Here is the situation I bought the car for $300 and its in fair condition but it had 267,000 miles and take this as me planning in advance I don't want ti be the person to buy a engine and just drop it in with out opening her up and at least replacing a few thing for my peace of mind. Honestly I just thought that since. GSR swap is was all meant for each other unlike putting a different head on a block I thought it would be more reliable
What kind of power would I make with a ls/V set up? Would should they be priced around?
with the same setup as a GSR you'd have a bit more torque and hp at lower RPM due to the add displacement. But if you've never built an engine it wouldn't be as easy as a rebuild or just adding parts to the motor. Not to mention it's slightly less reliable. The GSR block has a girdle over the mains which I believe the ls block doesnt and the vtec blocks have oil squirters in them and shorter stroke (the reason the have less displacement) to make revving high easier
So if I wanted a reliable set up I should just stick with a GSR with Itr internals and a good tune? Also is $2000 for the swap a good price most of the time he said they have 80,000 to a 100,000 miles on them
?????I only use NGK plugs and NGK blues for the wires.
?????You're getting the swap from a wholesaler? Is it a JDM GSR block? It's not a bad price considering all the longblocks and trannys I see here going for $2k , and if it's from a reputable dealer that will warranty it then yeah thats not a bad price
no its from a guy up in PA i bought my integra seats from him he has like 7 integra on his lot
Please inform me of said guy, I'd like an integra haha
haha he said he has all types of swaps and just motors and just trans like he said he can do me a K swap for $3000
