Default Should I resleeve my LS1 shortblock?

I was looking at thunder racing's website and seen the Darton Sleeves they have. It got me thinking.

IF I was to resleeve and bore it to a 4.000", how many cubes would the engine be? What about 4.060"?

I'm hoping when I take everything to the machine shop, I'll be able to use the stock sleeves. The engine does have ~90,000 miles on it. What do ya'll think will happen? Thanks

Do ya'll think just having it recrosshatched would be fine? Or is there a big chance that it will have to be re-honed? If I had it honed .005", Could I still use the stock-size pistons and tad bit bigger rings? I'm kinda lost when it comes to this area!
