Boring out .020" on the cylanders is more to ensure that the cylander walls are perfectly round so you get a good seal with the new rings. There is a very slight increase in displacement, probably only a cubic inch or two (a Chevy 350 bored .030" gaines 5cid, we are not going to gain much displacement).
The higher compression is good for a gain of about 3-4% per Compression point raise, so it's a mod that takes advantage of all other mods you have. 10.5:1 should be no problem just doing the rebuild. I would suggest some form of timing control at a 12.5:1 rebuild. Give yourself the ability to retard timing in case of detonation. An S-AFC or some other form of fel control would be a good idea as well. Give yourself the ability to tune in the high compression motor, and make sure she's running right.
