I will respectfully & slightly disagree.
9.0:1 is the perfect compression ratio.

so you turbo should be chosen to help equal out the compression ratio dont wanna get a HUGE turbo and LOW compression ratio you wont have any kind power band
just a little imput
Compression does NOT affect spool time. There was a long discussion on this topic ages ago and most gear heads agree with this. To some up the key points of the discussions in a couple of sentences:
"Mass flow is the most important determining factor in turbine performance. the turbine needs a mass flow so that it can extract the required work to do it's job. Increasing compression ratio does not increase mass flow through the turbine." ~ Enthalpy
To the OP, if you want an easy 500 whp, reliably...
GTiR Rods or Eagle Rods will do the job.
Wiseco Pistons RWD SR20DET Blacktop pistons (It will give you a comp. of 8.8:1)
If you want BB, go with a GT30R or GT35R, or Precision SC61 will work.
