Although I am not 100% sure, I am almost positive the bores will be ok. The engine does not smoke and does not sip oil or antifreeze what so ever. When the heads were off last summer, the cross hatching was still very visible and the bores looked good. Granted a test could show they are way off but from what I saw combined with the engine having 70k on it, I think it should pass.

I realize that I may be approaching this kind of backwards, but I am hoping to not have any machine needed and worst case, it does not to be .030 over, the same logic applies to picking rods/pistons.

As for power levels, the combo I have makes 400 rwhp on M6 cars so between 400~420 crank. Being as that is a very hopeful number I am using it as the max number too in this. So figuring that at max the engine may see 450 hp NA, and tack on a 150 shot, that is my power level. Sorry if this is making no sense, I am just trying to do some research and get some numbers before the summer.
