All the machining should be done by and engine builder first so that you know if you need to go first or second oversize pistons, oversize bearings etc & if you need to run a thinner or thicker head gasket.
You then need to think about what you are going to do to your cylinder head. Will you upgrade valve springs, do a port job or run oversize valves?
This is all before you think about fuel, igntion & turbo systems for your power goals
