This is completely wrong.

CR has everything to do with camshaft selection. CR extracts power from the fuel mixture and with proper quench forces complete burn. A lumpy cam with a lot of overlap is going to be a complete dog and run like crap with a low CR.

Smog heads are synonymous with low CR...that's why they're "smog" heads...lower CR means less NOx.
