If it's within your budget, maybe you should do a complete rebuild of the bottom-end. At least you'll know that you'll have fresh gaskets, seals, and bearings. Also, you'll need to change the oil pump anyway. Additionally, you can run whatever compression you want high or low for n/a or boost whichever route you will be taking. Just my $.02.

If this is your daily driver, I wouldn't recommend building an LSVTEC unless you plan to build it right the first time. On a motor with 100K, I wouldn't even think about it without at least a bottom end rebuild.
