New engine build thoughts

Going up in compression will be killer with the fuel you are running!! Plus tightening up the LSA on the cam will make it more responsive too! What rocker ratio are you running??
If it were me, id wash the block down, hone it and put it back together with the new parts! Check the balance of the rotating assembly if you are changing pistons. With a proper tune, i dont think you will have a problem going mid to low 6’s in the 1/8 now!
