13.5:1 Pistons

Anyone done anything with the 13.5:1 forged pistons and FI with our cars?

I am getting ready to order parts and start building my spare engine in a few weeks and still haven't made my mind up on what direction I want to go with it. I am kind of over the 400hp on the street thing - I am going to get myself in trouble one of these days. Low end is fairly lacking, and top-end my dump pipe can be heard from 3 miles away letting every cop know to come give me a speeding ticket.

I was thinking of going for 13.5:1 pistons and a switching to a twin-screw supercharger on like 5psi for some really good throttle response and ~300hp on pump gas. I don't think I could run much more boost than that on pump with that high of compression, but if I can squeeze 300hp I will be good with it.
