stock bore aroudn 9.1 compression should be ideal for you without a sleeved block..

You can go with CP, Wiesco or JE or any brand really.

if you're not sleeving your block, then your option is either 81 or 81.5mm
As far as compression, with SC61, I would get 9.5:1 at the lowest and 10:1 will be optimum to me.

Dont overbore unless its absolutely necessary. BUT, have the bores checked at a machine shop to see....inspection is more than the naked eye.
Honestly, your question is pretty vague.
But if compression is what your after I would say nothing less than 9:1 and nothing more and 9.8:1
Stay away from JE 81mm 9.8's though.

Im sorry for being so vague,,, im looking to stay standard size so i dont have to bore out, i was just looking for best compression to run on the sc61 and have the power and be happy with it...

try to stay stock bore at 9:1 to be safe. I personally wouldnt even bother building an unsleeved motor. too many people making good hp on stock bottom end. save your money until you can afford to sleeve it.
