Concerned about Compression for build, Building my 5sfe Options

[6G96GT]

After all your input, this is what I think I will end up doing...

No Turbo for me at all.

thinking Stock Pistons now, 10.5:1
Stock Rods
Stock Crank (balanced and micropolished)
Simple Hone on Cylinder Walls (no boring)
Stock Rod/Main Bearings ...(open to suggestions)

Metal Head Gasket
Port/Polish Cyl-Head (not extreme)
Mild, if at all now; shaving of the cyl-head for more compression
Webcams

Ebay Header (Will prepare it as posted on prior forums)

New Aeroturbine Exhaust (tested and personal choice)
2.5" Piping

AFC NEO for A/F tuning after build.

Same Injen SRI

My list is now complete, thanks for all the help guys!

x2 on turbo-ing your motor since you're rebuilding it anyway, and get yourself a mangaflow (is hi-flow) cat.
And what made you not want to bore out the motor no more? Other than the walls being too thin, but I thought .020 would be okay.

magnaflow hi-flow cat...just the cat? I still have to run custom from the cat back right? I was posting with another 6gc guy about boring the walls and he said he's done the bottom end many times and always sticks with just a hone on the cylinders. I want to be able to rev this engine up more often than not when it's built and I just don't want to risk the walls cracking or something.
