Anything over 350+ I would recommend going somewhere in the 8.5:1 range for the added safety. Especially if you're going to try and push limits on 93 octane.

I'm looking to make about 220-240 hp all told, so I'd think that even on 93 octane a 9:1 CR would be good to go.

If you can get some 9:1 CR pistons (JE?), you can consider a shortblock sold right now. Let me know.
