Thanks for your responses. As previously mentioned, everyone seems to have a different view on which compression ratio will yeild the best results. I DO know that higher compression makes tuning more difficult but can yeild a higher amount of HP.

***My main question, which i didn't state clearly, was if the 9:1 pistons would make that big of a difference. Some people say it won't, some say it will. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!

I am leaning more to the reliability side of the spectrum rather than going all out and having to watch very carefully my tuning and such. For the record, I won't be tuning my car, personally. I have a local performance shop that will be doing all of the tuning on their in-house dyno.
