Rate my rebuild kit

This is what my LT1 has. I bought it this way. Any improvement over stock?
Better for nitrous? What about boost?

Thanks for your input!

CR is too high for boost. Probably ok to use a small nitrous shot.

It might be better for nitrous than stock. It's already in the car? It's just a stock rebuild kit with what appears to be forged pistons. The compression would be higher than stock assuming they used about .039" head gaskets and stock heads. Nitrous loves compression, but so does detonation.
