Bottles are for babies, J/K

Honestly any forged piston from a reputable company will due fine. Honda/acura guys have a great advantage over lots of other cars do to great head design and materials used. I was going to do a 12.5:1 nitrous car at one point but decided against it.

Look into CP, Wiseco, JE etc.

I would say that your limitation would be in the tune and the octane of gas that you have available. If you are trying to make a nice street car on spray head work always helps, but by no way will it hurt to leave the head unported. I have seen people run as high as 13:1 on 93 and get away with it for years.

Everyone will tell you that the tune makes all the difference blah blah blah, their right

As for your case, run 11.5 or lower, its honeslty the same, and its not like a point of compression is going to make a hugh difference here, unless you are going from like 8.0:1 to 15.1.

the only thing to worry about now is your cylinder pressure a properly functioning catch can setup should help.
