All the bore sizes mentioned above are indeed capable of making the amount of power your shooting for. The bigger bore sizes have some advantages over the smaller bore sizes. An 84mm will build boost faster than the smaller 81-81.5! Also, it will take less amount of boost to reach your desired HP range. I couldn't give you an exact number though. Its really how you wanna build you motor. I will be going with 81.5 for the reason that I should have plenty of rebuilds in case of a mishap where as the 84 your limited to a few more.
