Wiesco Pistons would give you the 8.8:1 compression, that is what I have using Great pistons and can handle ALOT of power! For forced induction you want to use a low compression piston so it can efficently handle boost. Also you can boost higher applications on low compression motors.

For the fact that they have monster ringlands and are perfect for boost, my vote goes for Arias Extreme Duty Pistons.

A typical standard duty pistons, such as Wisco or the off the shelf Arias, will be priced in the $650-$760 range. Extreme duty pistons, and higher end CP pistons are in the $1000-$1100 range.
