I appreciate the feedback and I realize the question is slightly loaded. I will most likely be utilizing the Kaufman's experience to build this engine. I figure I can bleed off excessive compression with an agressive cam profile and still make decent power on pump gas with higher compression. I'll probably go with the KRE or Edelbrock 85-87cc heads to allow extra room if and when I add boost. My rough math put compression around 10.3 with the 85cc KRE D-ports.

Thanks again and any additional info is always appreciated.
