does this block need to be sleeved?
Well all the reflections from the oil make it pretty hard to tell... I don't see any deep gouges though.
You'll have to take it into a machine shop for a final word though... those could be scratches or reflections from the slag of a piston.
You lean out running nitrous or what?

pull the pistons and rods and check to see how true the bore is of the cylendar. if its the same measurement, im assuming 81mm, at the bottom or top then you should be ok.

Black-hatch, pull the pistons, clean the oil off the cylinders, and take some more pictures.
that happened to my block...had it bored to try and fix but didnt leave enough thickness on cylinder wall...so getting the one re sleeved better to be safe than sorry....time to go oversize...81.5mm.....
I can't really tell how deep the damage is from those pics. There's another option you may not have considered. Darton makes single replacements sleeves for around $30. You could have a machine shop do that for $50-$100ish. If there's damage to more than one, I'd send it to golden eagle and have it sleeved. If you do that though go all out and get 85-86mm pistons. Might as well make the $$$ spent worthwhile. Good luck.
