lt1 nitrous pistons and compression ratio

Just looking for some good info on quality pistons that can take a 2-300 shot no problem. they would be for a .030 bore with a 3.75" stroke crank, not certain on rod length. Looking currently at Callies Compstar crank and rod packages.

Also, what is a desirable compression ratio for that much nitrous on an lt1? stock is 10.4-10.5:1 and i see many builds up around 11.5:1. would like to retain street manners and 93 octane. Head cc is 54 and it seems pretty tough to get the compression in the 11.0:1 range with flat tops. should i just run a cam with more overlap to bleed off some compression?

thanks for any and all info
