Default b20vtec pistons?

So, I'm buidling a b20vtec using a b16 head and I'm looking for a compression ratio of around 11:1 A little more or less is ok with me. It's going to be all motor (obviously) and daily driven. So a forged pistons isn't necessary for me. I'm wondering if you guys can recommend me a piston in the price range of around $300-$400 that will get me my desired compression ratio. I am open to useing a b20Z piston but it's my understanding that there is valve clearance issues and it's not as high as I want. If I end up using those, is there enough material on the piston to machine them for the clearance they'll need?

Thanks

I used to run JE forged pistons when I owned a Honda, they were like $360/set. with rings and pins and they never gave me any problems.

That's cool i'm not opposed to JE pistons, Where do I find them for $360? Their website has them for over $600 and the SRP pistons for over $500? While those pistons are fine by me they don't exactly fit my budget.

RS pistons are pretty cheap. You should be able to pick them up for a little over $300
