I want to freshen up my 15 engine. Has anyone used the higher compression pistons and will it add some torque without over stressing rest of engine

High dome pistons should be OK for an engine with good Babbitt. Do not combine high dome pistons and high compression head.

I've done several "pop up" piston jobs - just as much or more "poop" than a "hi-compression" head and less expensive !
