This thread belongs in the "bigger minis" sub forum.
It seems like you have done your homework and you should have a fun bike when it's done. I would look in to switching over to a different shock, I believe that kx85 shocks fit, but I may be wrong. I'm sure you can also replace the stock fork springs with stiffer ones and use thicker fork oil. Look in to modifying the dampening rods, I know it is popular an the kx65 forks. Race tech also makes a form emulator which allows you to adjust the front forks, but I'm not sure if they make them for your bike. It's supposed to stiffen up the first few inches of travel pretty well.
I would also double check and see how the reliability of the big bore motors is. There may be a few supporting mods you don't want to leave out
