would like to see compression in the mid 8s with stockish smogger heads
Are you aware that low compression can actually increase the chances of detonation?
Unless it's a forced induction engine I would be very hesitant to run anything below 9:1 compression. You're leaving power, economy, and throttle response on the table and getting nothing in return.
Even with iron heads you should have no problems running 87 octane on 9:1 compression.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
