Also before I go any further, the GPI "drop in" is basically the only aftermarket option we have for a different piston without having one custom made? I really can't find anything else? and the GPI ones won't help my compression situation.

there are several pistons available for these engines. the question is: what is your goal with this engine? if you're staying na, i wouldn't bother with upgrading the pistons and rods. my rock stock long block has seen 7k+ for several months and a few thousand miles now, i wouldn't be afraid to upgrade the valve train and spin 7500.
