Sweet! Man, I'm so happy for you!
You won't regret the 9:1 pistons when you boost it since you're sleeved. I bumped my GSX from 8.5:1 to 9:1, and make plenty of power with a tiny turbo + don't need to run a million pounds of boost to do it. It seems to spool the turbo a little quicker, and has more low-end torque than it did, but I changed so many things at once when I did that... it's hard to say exactly what is responsible for what. Bottom line is... I run 22 PSI on pump gas without knocking. Just try to keep that intake charge as cold as possible if you're gonna do that.
Any time you wanna hit Richmond Dragway & break it in, I'm down. The crib has come a long way since you last saw it. I'm unemployed right now, so I'm pretty flexible.

I just ordered my Hasport mount, 70mm Blox TB with thermal gasket, Competition Clutch Stage 4 sprung 6 puck, and my Endyne beather. Waiting to see if the deal with the V1 Peakboost kit works out. Then all i need is injectors and i might just use my ecu for now until i can get a Hondata. Hopefully in about a month or so, if it all works out, it will be in my car.
