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!

unless you can answer my questions i don't recommend any of your mods.

What ignition timing map are you going to use to adjust for higher compression?

What octain fuel do you plan to use?

Are you going to use a standalone ecu?

Well, that depends on how much compression the stock head is made for, I don't know that answer, so I am open to suggestions...What is the stock compression for my GT now?

What octain fuel do you plan to use?

Whatever my car drives best on...right now (regular) and she drives like a charm, but after the build, I'll probably go 93 octane.
Are you going to use a standalone ecu?

Well, I want to get an A/F control to tune the cams a/f adjusments, I don't think I'll need fuel mani upgrades because I'm going to do something to the equivalent of a stage I cam setup. Besides, I'm not really interested in a stand alone ecu, I had one before on my turbo talon and it was expensive and I don't plan on going to the dyno more than once or twice. Why? This is just going to be a nice build with light machine work.
