My biggest concern would be at that bore and being boosted is flame propagation going to be an issue?

Detonation will more than likely eat those custom pistons long before you can get the blow thru carb tuned.
Jetting that carb up and more octane outta fix that problem. lol And heck....could even create a custom manifold and go to two 4 barrels! And thanks for the links!
