Plus I plan on milling the heads and decking the block to get it as high as i can. I can also use a thin head gasket too. Surely with decking, milling, and thin head gaskets i can get around 9:1, right? Will this be enough compression to have a .550 lift cam? Thats not really that big for a big block right? I had a .480 lift cam in my 350 and it was very streetable, in fact i wish i had gone bigger. I ended up hurting that cam anyway so it doesn't matter.

yes it can be 550 lift is not bad but it the DUR and lobe sep + lift that can added up to no piston to valve . you taking better then a total of.040 off heads .gasket and deck .thats less pv room
