Default Rods and Pistons for good boost numbers

I came across a set of JE pistons Standard Bore 9:1 and a set of Eagle rods and wondering what kind of boost this set up could handle I want to boost quite a bit but still be streetable (the car will normally sit in garage except for weekend nights and nice days) when needed but dont want to upgrade internals again after I find a daily clunker.

You think used engines will need to rebore or they are mostly in good shape to get the stock bore pistons again. Cause i dont got my engine yet but i can get some stock bore pistons for a b18c1 engine that i will get later.

.5 mm overbore usually is needed alot of times used motors will have the cylinders egg shaped or ovaled over time so go overbore to be safe and you will have a perfect bore and hone from a machine shop
