head/cam question for a stock shortblock motor

If you want 11's on motor you wont be able to take any short cuts. Nice ported aluminum heads. AFR 185's, Canfields, Trick flow's etc......You will need a big runner intake like the trick flow or systemax or edelbrock and a custom cam as well as 1 3/4 long tube headers and good exhaust.

I think I could hit 11's with an aggressive custom cam, a bigger intake and 4.30 gears.

thing is, piston to valve clearence, thats why i was looking at the twisted wedge or jegs heads. though its a 308, its just a stock rebuilt basically, stock style flat top pistons etc. so doenst make gobbs of compression so would i even need a head like a 185?
oh and btw, its carburated. i'll either be running a weiand stealth or a performer rpm, still havent decided. with a 650 demon.
