Default Compression ratio adding fuel demand

Kind of a loaded question here

I have a 5.3 that will be an iron 5.7 here very soon

I am running a stock crank, but forged rods and will be ordering forged pistons

I am stuck between going with a flat top and a nitrous dome from diamond

With the flat tops I'll be at approx. 11.3:1 and the nitrous dome pistons will put me at 13.3:1

My question is, is 13.3:1 to much to run on vp110 and also run a 250-350 shot on vp110. Or am I stepping into c16 territory

Cam selection for dynamic compression plays as big a role here as static compression.
