Ok, so Im building a moderately high compression LSVTEC. I have some questions
Fuel System Questions
Will an aftermarket fuel rail be needed in order to use STOCK 92-96 prelude VTEC injectors?
My fuel pump is old and will need replaced. I have no idea on what size to get or even what size the stock one is. I read on ImportBuilds.com that nonvtec fuel pumps can handle up to 300 hp, vtec fuel pumps are rated at 375 hp. That true? If it is, then I will just buy a replacement for my car. If not, then, make some suggestions.
Fuel lines - is there a benefit in changing from stock rubber lines to a stainless line with an inline fuel pump. I mean, other than cosmetic.
PVC - Catch Can - Breather setup Questions
Can someone show me pictures of an installed system, and what are hte benefit of doing this on an all-motor car. I've read a lot of articles on "theoldone.com - endyn" but, I just cant figure our the benefits or if I even need it.
Acutal Compression
The pistons will have a 5.5cc dome from what Jeff told me via emails. So, with that said how do I go about figuring the exact compression? This is the formula
Below are specs of my build, some of the stuff I have some I dont. Pistons, rods, bearigns, lower end gaskets/seals and bearings I dotn have among some other shit.
Please, give me some insight, answer my questions the best you can without being an asshole.
Some specs on my build.

Acutal Compression

CR= D+PV+DC+G+CC
PV+DC+G+CC
PV+DC+G+CC
I used the c-speedracing calculator as well as the zeal auto. On c-speed I got 11.42:1 CR w/1857.3867 cc's On zealautowerks, I used the JDM ITR pistons becuase it was the closted to the dish volume of +5.5cc. I wasnt sure what the comp. hieght was. On zeal, I needed a 12.44 CR w/1857.37 cc's. Please help me determine which one it is. I would like to keep compression below 11:1 if possible, I heard it easier to tune in Arizona.
