951 Consideration

I've been seriously considering purchasing a 951 for a new toy. I love my little NA but I really like the idea of having some more juice under the hood and to get that from a NA would be pretty expensive and counter-productve.

I've looked at alot of the Lindsey Racing kits that seem pretty attractive- 340WHP kit, and the basic chips/boost controlers/etc. have a few questions that I hope someone here might be able to help me out with though-

-What type of power do most people run reliably with a stock long block? Turbo upgrades? Intercoolers?

-I hear alot of people talking about headgasket issues when the boost is really cranked up- how much is too much?

-When overhauling the engine, how is it bored out for new slugs? The M44 engine has alu-sil bores right? If you bore it out won't that eliminate the silicon etches in the bores?

-When overhauling, what do most people prefer for a piston, rod, and ring combo?

Thanks for any info and opinions guys!
