What he said.
Generally speaking, lowering compression will result in less power than running high compression, if you leave it N/A. But if you lower compression to add a F/I power adder, then what's the issue?
Do a little homework and figure out what compression ratios you'll get by looking at your chamber size and the different piston choices out there. Pick one that will work well with the type of power adder you plan to go with.
Also, if you are serious about boosting it, that will affect your cam choice and the tune you're going to have to put in the car. A Texas Giant will work well N/A and with nitrous, but I don't think it's the right choice for a forced induction setup. You can't have it both ways. What you need to do is make a decision N/A alone, N/A + Nitrous or F/I and once you do. Pick the right combination of parts, cam, etc to support that goal.
