What compression pistons

As i told you guys the other day i might be buying a lude with 97k on it and rebuilding it. My plan is to run whatever JR boost upgrade they offer for the lude and a dirrect port nitrous system.
so...
pistons
rods
sleeved
rings
head rebuilt with titanium valve train

My question is do u think i should lower compression much.I was looking at the JE pistons but there 9:1 and thats a big drop. What about the JE 10:1.

you shouldn't need to balance the oem crank if it's in good shape. honda cranks are awesome from the factory.

people are going with higher compression these days so running the 10:1 compression with forged pistons won't be a problem.

know of a guy running a type r with 10:4 forged pistons and jrsc. 10lb. of boost and it flies. most of hte b series guys are running 10:1 forged pistons these days.

but what you're proposing above will cost a cool $10g's easy.
