Default LT1 Build questions

Ill try to make this as short as possible.
But I have to completely rebuild my motor because i cracked a few pistons, but the problem i am having is the pistons i had were pre 2003 SRP pistons, and since i have a 3.750" stroke and 6" rods the only ones i can find put my comp ratio at 10.4:1 with my stock heads. I have a supercharger pushing 7psi, and I don't want a compression ratio that high.
I'm almost positive i need a compression height of 1.125", but the only ones i found are those SRP pistons.
I know i can lower the comp ratio with heads with bigger combustion chambers, but thats just more money, and i already bought a new block (mine got extremely marked and chewed up) so i have to get that bored out, buy all new bearings, gaskets and pistons, so i really wont have enough money to buy new heads.

I really need help finding some low compression pistons that can handle boost, If anybody could help that would be awesome.
Thanks!!!
