You should take it to a tuner and have it tuned. Was it previously tuned?
Keep in mind you will have to go from 87 to 91+ octane for this compression.
I would retard your timing ~1-2 deg until you have the engine tuned.

well i have already tuned it... i kept stock timing and my arf around 13s and high 12s it dyno at 138hp and 145lbs of torque with a type r tranny... my setup is in a 93 fully interior civic hatch with a/c and it hit at the track with a 14.32 at da 1/4 mile.... so im thinking after installing pistons and a retune maybe high 13s but i dont know whats really going to happen....... any suggestions? ......... thanks again for ur addvise
