looks like a nice build and power shouldnt be a problem, only thing i dont understand is why your going with a 2.0 instead of the 2.4
Ideally I would love to go with a PPG dogbox, but I could go through 10 stock transmissions at that price. I can afford to break a stock trans with an LSD, I can't afford to break a PPG box. I am well versed in transmissions, my Dseries has a one of a kind transmission with LSD that I put together, so I'll address the issue when I start breaking stuff.

As for the 2.0, a few reasons really.
-I'd have to sleeve a 2.4, the walls are too thin to support the power.
-2.4 limits how high I can rev the engine. This means I will have a smaller powerband and a probably not enough RPM to get the MPH out of 4th gear.
-2.0 block is free, 2.4L is not lol.

Relax, bud. When the dude with a drag Honda and a boosted daily that has had fast Honda's for years AND fabs his own parts tells the new kids on the block that they're doing it wrong, it's time to step back and learn something.
