Default need help on choosing pistons and rods and sleeving company

i need help on what pistons an rods to get and possibly a re-sleeve job. I have a b18b motor and wnat to make around 350 hp. I want to go with arias pistons and eagle rods. How do i figure out how big of bore size to get for the pistons? And what is the biggest bore size a stock sleeve can handle? Please help so i can figure out if i need to resleeve or just use stock sleeves with the new piston and rod setup. I would most likely get a block gaurd if i dont resleeve..thanks

Golden Eagle sleeves are the best IMO

81.5mm max on a stock ls block and 9-1 on the pistons.
Sleeved block you can start at 83mm

Go big or go home...j/k

Sleeve the block and go with a 84mm bore for best results...

you dont need sleeves for 350hp, with a good tune. bore your stock sleeves .20 over to keep them a little on the thick side to hold the boost.
