Let's see what pistons are available to match up with the available chambers, then decide what to do. Naturally aspirated at ~8.00:1 wouldn't necessarily be a dog, but it wouldn't be a world beater either. Ideally, you would want to run less cam to match up with the 8.00:1 static compression ratio running naturally aspirated, then change back to more cam with the blower. The bigger cam might be OK though, with the 3000 stall converter that i suggested.
