Check out the combo I used to run listed of carb sizing. Try for a compression ratio 9.3-9.8:1 When you get your machine work done on the block, have it decked to 0 deck height which is most times 9.0 , but to make sure do a mock up first and measure at tdc the distance between top of piston and the deck. You will need a piston stop and a staight edge and some feeler gauges. Sounds like a lot but the gains in performance are worth it. 0-deck clearance and a 0.039 head gasket makes plenty power and reduces chance of detonation considerbly. You can also polish the combustion chambers to help eliminate hot spots that lead to detonation.
A Zero deck height engine on the street is a waste of time and money.All the work and money for a little gain in comp. ratio.With this mild of cam Why?I.M.O. why not just take off enough to make it flat and then if you have any problems down the road you will still have some material left to make it flat again.
