Just FYI - Stock everything I would expect 250hp... The rods are shorter, so less purchase to bend them... Pistons might be a problem, but I doubt they'll be too bad - just keep an eye on AFRs and it'll be fine... They have cooling jets so they aren't too bad anyway...
You'll probably find you might have to drop the compression... Decomp plates are fine as long as you use 2 decent head gaskets either side... If you're keeping stock compression, drop that to about 6-7psi of boost and 200hp... I would however seriously recommend you look into decomping it, however...
I don't know how well the stock liners will cope, I'm going to assume fairly OK, Honda boys don't have problems 'till way past 400hp and their liners aren't exactly the most impressive... Volvo whiteblocks are also liner'd and don't really have many problems... So just keep an eye basically...
