Several members have suggested increasing the static compression ratio by thinner gaskets/head shave and I think that is valid advice. Shawnlee has come up with a great suggestion also, with the Rhodes lifters. I've used them and they work.
Pat thinks the cam will be ok straight up and has a lot more experience with big block Chevies than I do. I just know what the numbers tell me.
