Compression ratio ?
If I add the following:
Headers (Dunno what kind to get)
Siamese Intake Runners
58mm Throttle Body
Dual cold air intake
With the increased air flow, will my chip modify the compression ratio to allocate for the change in increased air flow?

Compression ratio is purely mechanical, and is determinded by the chamber volume, and the piston. (higher dome equals higher compression.)
That said, with your mods, assuming you have a MAF car, the computer can compensate for the changes, but, doing some prom burning would optimize the system for your engine, and give you more power.
