Cranking at lower voltage would cause slow cranking which draws more current, which heats up the starter, which reduces torque, which causes slower cranking..........

You don't really have control of the cranking voltage aside from making sure the battery cables and connections are good.

I would put in larger cabling, will never hurt. Assuming you have a high CCA battery, if you still have slow crank issues, I would just go to a "mini starter' as sold by Summit, jegs, etc.

These are reduction gear starters, and rather than mess around with your reman, they will crank your high compression engine more easily.

I'll be passing thru Jeff city in a few weeks on my way to lake of the Ozarks for some boating fun. I'll wave as I go thru.....
