Default CTR Pistons, JDM Type R Pistons, High Compression

I'm debating on whether to go n/a or jrsc .. w/ maybe 6 PSI, since my compression is about 180/180/180/180 on a 80K motor.. I'm goin to have to "rebuild it" if I sc or go high compression.. so .. I'm going high compression..
Agree?

Next.. if I do go high compression
.. CTR pistons are too high compression for 91 pump gas correct?
So.. JDM type R pistons are next.. OR????
should I just get aftermarket pistons? .. since I'm rebuilding.. or can I get away w/ just replacing pistons/rings and cheaper stuff than rebuilding..

Thanks

imo i think a supercharger at 6psi and tuning is about the same as a itr compressioned(new word) car with tuning...you can make a lot of cars reliable if you tune it right...i would personally go with itr pistons cause they are ok to run on pump gas ...whereas ctr pistons are a bit high for 91 ...you can run it on pump gas if tuned properly..but im sure it would be safer with higher octane

CTR pistons will run on 91 if they are tuned. That or run a thicker headgasket.
