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!

Nah, you should go with a 2.25" or 2.5" custom catback exhaust.
Also, consider purchasing an AFC NEO to tune everything but this should be one of your last upgrades when you have all your other mods installed.
You send your cams to webcams yet?

No I haven't sent them in, I won't do the cams until I put on some good mileage. I will do the port/polish and possible deck though and get it ready for the cams. I think I'm just going to go with the same ebay header you did and prepare like you did too.

The AFC NEO, how accurate will that be?

2.25" custom catback exhaust. I really like Aeroturbine Perf. Mufflers though. I can just do the header, and then that custom catback setup to the Aeroturbine right?
