Unless you're shooting for 400+ WHP the stock BP internals are just fine.
They are infact, the same internals as the GTX engine, just the pistons are slightly higher compression.

You haven't even told us what head you have so how do we know that??
Why don't you tell us what year your car is, trim level, Engine SOHC or DOHC Tranny, etc. and then we can answer your questions.

unless you feel like running around town with 15 PSI going into your engine or you have a T-88 or somethign the size of your head you have nothing to worry about, engines arnt made that crappy.

Depending on the actual condition of your engine as it sits right now, everything you have right now would be sufficient to run almost any amount of boost you can throw at it.
If you plan on buying stock GTX parts, IE turbo, manifold etc.... the VJ 20 will run out of steam (figuratively speaking) long before your internals are maxed out.
