Good to see another person having a go at the NA 2 litre.
Do you have a budget for the whole build? What is it?
Do you have a power figure in mind?
Are you planning on custom intake and exhaust to suit your application?
Can I share some knowledge with you from what I have learnt the last few years?
Define exactly what you are doing with the car. If its a track car, don't fuss too much about big power but more on torque and drivability off the corner. Far more important than a peaky low torque NA in a 1100- 1200kg MR2.
Do not just buy cams/manifolds/exhausts then bolt it on and expect some magical figure.
You need to build it so everything is tuned before you even start the engine.
For head preparation, have a look at this site for flow figure and a some other interesting info.
http://users.erols.com/srweiss/tablehdc.htmBefore you port the head have it flowed or use the info on this site for stock flow rates.
On the site you will see the % ratio for in verse out. Work on having your head the same or similar to kelford cams results.
Then have the head flowed, then fill out this form so kelford can sort out the right cam for you.

That's enough to maximise your basics of the build.
Engine to use?
Buy a Beams blacktop with dual vvti or a 2AR/2AZ(2.4). The 2AR is a vvti but alloy engine so their is a great weight saving. Either of these will see well over 110hp per litre if done correctly.
Don't bother with a Gen 2 or Gen 3 as the vvti is a big plus.
Sorry if I was explaining what you already know.
