Nitrous pairs better with high compression. Pairing 9:1 pistons with CTR cams is also a bit odd.

Based on the whole parts list plus the fact it's coming with 880cc injectors, I'd say it's more suited for a mild turbo build than nitrous. All you'd have to do is change the pistons if you wanted to run nitrous with good results.

I'd probably aim for anywhere in the 11.5:1 -> 12:1 range in combination with those cams.

Wiseco, CP, JE, Supertech, Arias, etc all make good pistons. If you're intending to run nitrous I wouldn't cheap out and get cast pistons.
