He won't find any already in production, he would have to get them custom made.
Compression would all be up to you basically. There is no right or wrong, it's all in what you think is what you need and then maintaining it from there.

cute because i love the noise of the LS1
for my car (which will remain N.A) i am gonna make it breath better (i.e intake, header, exhaust) - also add a ECM tune and some new cams/piston heads
by then ill be satisfied with my car- regardless of my boostless 2.4
