Since you are building a revvvvy engine, maybe you should be a little bit cautious about the extent of boring... A revy engine would generate more heat due to increased friction to begin with and with less metal in the block to absorb and transfer heat (because of the boring) the engine might want to run fairly hot compared to the standard.
Slightly off topic, the other issue that just popped into my head was the con rods. All conrods have some level of elasticity and as such, at higher revs, they are sure to get slightly more elongated. Therefore, maybe you should increase the piston clearance as well a tad bit? Oh yeah, the more the engine revs, more precisely balanced the components would need to be too...
Just a few thoughts...
Cheers
