Hey man good luck with it, I would suggest a good rebuild, because when you want more Horse power people have to rebuild the engine to with stand the boost and compression. So once rebuilt with forged internals.

1 - Blue-printing is basically using the FSM engine "service data and specifications" section for taking measurements of your motor and correcting the areas which are out of spec.
Here's an example:
cylinder block height: The block deck to crankshaft center line spec should be the same from the front to back of block. If it's beyond spec, the block may be warped or someone milled the deck improperly.
2 - Magnefluxing is using a magnetized metallic solution on iron or steel parts under a black light to look for cracks.
3 - Shotpeening is a machine process that uses very fine metal shot that's blasted against a part to be treated. This microforges the surface of the part making it stronger and harder while leaving the interior soft and ductile. This step can improve the fatigue strength of a part by over 100%.

Or bore out the engine and get it sleeved or something like that I do not have an SR but this is what I have herd, I have never rebuilt an engine but this information is what I got from others on this forum
