Can someone tell me what compression distance is? I'm just trying to select the correct pistons. Also, which is better for a street application, floating or press fit wrist pins? Thanks

The choice of pressed pin or floating pin would depend on the rod and piston selection. If you go with pressed pins, the mounting process requires the assistance of a machine shop.

BUT the pins won't accidentally come out!!

well bushed rods free up friction at pivot point, which robs power. but bushings whereout
