I think a Cam with those duration numbers will kill off too much needed average torque even in light of your running 3.55 gears out back

The 3200 stall will truncate the torque loss below that rpm.
I would use the shorter connecting rods. When octane is NOT a limiting factor, use a longer rod (more dwell). But if using pump gas and pushing the limits of CR, use a shorter rod.
Should be a fun combo. Well tuned and with ample traction, should be capable of breaking into the 11's.
