It isn't overkill, there are people running IPS N/A cams with other bolt-ons with stock compression ratio throwing down 245+whp and IPS is arguably the best cams and the 'holy grail' for N/A K's. And sure B's and K's have alot in common, but the biggest difference is the ability to get so much more N/A power out of a K for alot less money.
Here's a dynograph (stock c/r) with Skunk2 Stg2's as an example. It is a bit confusing because it says flywheel hp and torque but it's actually SAE corrected;

Keep in mind it was tuned by Church, not sure how our local midwest tuners compare to him.

Hondata K-Pro cannot change your compression ratios, a few things that can; different pistons, valves, thinner headgasket...
