I wish you the best of luck with this build. There seems to be some misunderstanding I guess. You stated 2.0 heads are going to reduce your compression ratio; Care to elaborate? These Jun cams, if your car is the "only one in the world" to run these, that kind of puts you into a position of being a guinea pig. Are you sure that's a position you want to be in? Have you done your homework on a hybrid setup? I have concern because much of this sounds very familiar. Contrary to popular belief there is nothing in this realm that is to be gained by blazing your own trail.
Seriously, I hope it works out for you.

However, I fully agree with your big brake kit statement, they meant to address brake fade, endurance and reliability over prolonged use. I was saying good brakes in general not necessarily BBK; ie. stock calipers, but better rotors, pads, lines, etc...My point was more along the lines of that you cannot upgrade to insane power without giving consideration to other elements of the car to be able to handle it; such as transmission, brakes, suspension...you need to maintain the proper balance. But that is just my personal approach to things and I have no clue what else Matt has planned, he might be 10 steps ahead of me 
But just like everyone else here, I hope the built goes with as little problems as possible.
