Default piston and bore recomendation

Well this summer I'll have full exhaust, intake, and a 75 shot of nitrous, so im going to port and polish the heads and get alittle higher compression piston(possibly stock with a bigger bore not sure yet) but I've been looking around and cant really find many piston options so i was looking for what you guys recommended and whats the biggest bore the car can handle before needing to sleeve the cylinder walls

Almost nothing from what I have read. There is very little room to bore this block in stock form.

Je makes some pistons for your application

11.0:1, might be too high, but its a step in the right direction.

nah its kool. i went to see how much a dyno run to get my A/F adjusted for my nitrous would be and they told me 800 dollars because they have to sell a engine management system, and then quoted me over 1000 bucks for a wet shot system and install it was ridiculous

ya i got cp 9.0:1 88.5 mm pistons but my shop said to get .20 over pistons cuz with 50k miles on my car stock bore might not sit right if they do a light hone.
