well when you bore a motor you are making it weaker because you are removing part of it. and as far as it hurting your engine, well as long as you dont get carried away with the bore and your PSI is suitable to your C/R.

If your planning on rebuilding the bottom end, you can bump the compression ratio up a tad bit. Meaning use pistons with a 9:1 or 9:5:1 compression. That will net you faster spool up and more efficient combustion, than going with an 8:5:1. What this does is, enable you to run lower boost, but have the same results. Example: 18psi on an 8:5:1 compression motor, would approximately be 14-15psi on an 9:5:1 cmpression.
