Default Recommendations on new setup! Supercharged

Ok, my new setup is underway, I have a vortech supercharger with a 6psi pulley, i have the complete unit, its ready to go in, now I just have to order all of the supporting accessories ie: 42lb injectors, racetronix fuel pump setup, and forged internals. However, here is my dilemma, my current compression ratio is 11:1, too high for FI, because I am running LT4 heads unmolested. Now, this is no problem really because I am currently shopping summit for some good forged dished pistons that will drop my compression ratio. Can someone recommend a good 1 piece rear main seal crankshaft, some good forged dished blower pistons *stock bore*, and some good 5.7" forged rods? thanks a lot!

Here's what I have:

1.94 intake SEV-2552-C
1.5 exhaust SEV-2809

http://www.jepistons.com/pdf/2005-srp2.pdf

9:1 compression. Part number 139632 for 355, you'd want 231315 I think.

I have stock rods and crank, not sure about main seal.

So you'd get 8.9:1 with those.

thanks a lot for the info! I'm looking at those and these : http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

my lt4 heads have a 54.4 cc combustion chamber, and these lower the CR even more than the ones above, it's just a matter of price now. Also, are there any distinguishing features about the GEN II LT based connecting rods from the GEN I 350 smallblocks? Will any 5.7" rod work in my LT4, as long as its 5.7" and made for a smallblock 350? thanks
