Although, I believe you can bump the static CR if you have a 'race' (or 'hot') 
cam; since the dynamic CR is reduced by the greater valve overlap.

Oh, don't skim anything. Get the proper pistons. Once you skim you 
can't ever fix your head/block after that - it's a one way trip. 

You don't want compression more than 9ish to 1, no one makes gas that 
has high octane anymore. It's no fun to have to add octane boost to 
every tankful. It's best if compression is around 8.5:1 for ease of 
using modern fuels.
