Need opinion

You would be flabbergasted at the throttle response difference between having 130 psi cranking and 150 psi.
Roger that..... if CR made no difference, we would just all run 5 or 6:1 SCR and not ever have to worry about detonation. I changed my 2.6L Mitsu rally engine from 7.2 to 8.1 SCR, and it was night and day different off the line (before the turbo spooled up).
