That's what I was thinking, that it may be too mild.
But then I could replace it with the XR276HR, or the XR282HR. Just don't know if the last one would be overkill.
I'm open to comments/suggestions for other cams too, and about the rest of the parts.
Just figured I could reuse the other Comp-Cam roller hardware he has there already if I use one of the cams I mentioned.

Good catch regarding pistons; brand and P/N would be good

Main align honing it to ensure the crankshaft bearing bore is concentric across all of the bearing saddles and to ensure correct bearing crush for each cap. Basically, it makes sure the crank bearing bore is the round, the right size and in-line. If things are way out of whack - or the engine's spun a main bearing - an align bore is sometimes required.
An align hone is required if the type of main cap fastner is changed (bolts to studs) and is generally recommended if you're spinning the engine regularly past 5500 RPM. There's a lot of debate on this - Vizard has a tendency to recommend doing a mock-up and if the crank spins freely leave it, but Yunick's take was "don't even check it - just align hone it". I generally align hone the block for a new crank, but that's just my experience.
