Rebuilding....pistons, compression?

[NeoZer0]

I know this is going to get alot of opinions.

I am rebuilding my 1G 4G63T Engine and I have chosen to drop in Wiseco Pistons with Eagle rods. I got ARP Main studs and head studs for the setup and the block is away at the machine shope getting bored out. My quesion is....the stock compression on a 1G turbo 4G63 is 7.8:1 right? I want to go higher but I don't want to sacrifice reliability on the motor. What is a good compression to get some extra HP out of my setup?

See my list of mods so far and let me know what you all think.

Standard WISECO's come in 8.3:1 and 9:1. Buschur Racing uses the 9:1 slugs. If buschur uses them that's good enough for me and i wil be going with the same set up a you with 9:1 WISECO's. Mark
