"spending money is one thing...but wasting it on components that don't work together is another."
follow your advice... i dont think spending the $$ on aluminum heads and top end and not upgrading bottom end is a good idea...a hot top end with higher compression and and a bone stock bottom end could result in rod failure at high rpm...and a waste of $$$

alrighty then, where do i begin for a bottom end build up?
is summitt or jegs the way to go or do i want to start with KRE and JBP? do i want forged or hypereutectic pistons (not planning on using nos)? do i have to get the block bored (this may be a slight problem b/c i'm not too confident in the local shops familiarity with Pontiac)? does a rotating assembly need to be "balanced and blue printed" for a 12 sec. street car? if so, can this be done without having the assembly in the destination block? can i use a stroker kit without needing any machine work? thanks in advance to any and all who take (and have taken) the time to help.
