Default bore or not?

Got some 6.2 pistons. Debating on boring my 6.0 out .065 and installing these pistons, milling heads .030 more. Is it really worth it? if it is, I am seriously thinking about it. Just want some opinions. The car is just my track, maybe weekend cruise car.if its bored, it wont be sprayed. So, lets hear some opinions.

I would have it sonic checked. If it checks out, I would bore it. More cubes, more compression and better for your square port head flow. Full of win.

If it was me I'd keep running your 6.0 and look for a high mileage 6.0 that needs boring and build up a spare short block.
