They have looser clearances than the standard bearings and are not meant for extended periods of use, so they aren't ideal for a street driven car.

Get your ECU chipped, run a program like Neptune or Hondata, and have it dyno tuned. Running the car off a basemap is the wrong way to go about things if you give two shits about reliability.
And high compression and boost go really well together assuming you have high enough octane fuel to prevent detonation. A JRSC isn't going to make enough power to even matter, assuming you have proper engine management.
