Default Need help picking right pistons for setup??

With my stock 01 Ls1 Im going with a tsp 383 rotating assembly.

Im going to be boosting with sts t67 fmic

What is the right dish to pick for a good compression ratio combo for the sts.

I was told -11cc?? Will that put me at 9.0:1

Or do I need to run -15cc.

Without all the specs of the parts being used it would be really hard to tell you your compression. Looks like the shop building the engine has it figured out.
