First thing you should ever do to an engine if your planning to make more power is to build the bottom end.
And your drivetrain.

full eagle (forged of course) rotating assembly, patriot stg2 heads with stg3 VT cams if you're going drag. ARP bolts through out. I wouldn't stroke the motor if you're gonna blow it later, because you'll be increasing the rotating mass and once the blower is on, it MAY not rap up as quick as the stock stroke. the bore I'd just stay at .030. just enough to clean it up. don't skimp on the bearings and oil pump either. deep sump pan and a windage tray. it's gonna cost money, but the blower setup would cost almost as much as the built engine. if you are going to put a blower on later, you might just want to P&P the heads and go with stg 2 N/A cams. I'll be building up my 4v once my KB puts it too sleep. I'd REALLY like to see what a no spray built 2v can do.
