Boring larger doesn't make more power. Just bore out as much as needed to clean up the cylinder walls.

You're not going to fit a 4" crank in a 305, and if you went through all the trouble of shoe horning it in (if it's even possible, which I don't think it is), that'd be among the stupidest things known to man.

What's a 650 cam?

I suggest you go onto the FAQ board and read all the writeups on making a 305 faster. Also, consider the obvious, different block.
