A V8 needs the highway cruise speed rpm to be at or preferably a touch under peak torque.

Dumb question, is it worth hiking up the CR, say half a point or a whole point (ie from 9 to 9.5), to improve low end torque? I can get some pistons to hike my CR from 9.5 to 10.5 static, which is probably 9 to 10 dynamic...for $750.
Sorry about the hijack.
