Thanks for the replies...

hobgoblin351: I think the stock heads had 64cc combustion chambers....the new ones have 60cc...with a normal gasket I'm thinking compression should be somewhere close to 10:1

Rev: I was a little worried about the permomer intake, I'm glad to know it will still make power above 5500 (thought I probably wont shift it any higher than 5800 with the stock short block). I'll definitely look into the XE cam too. Did you run that 13.3 with street tires? That's impressive, but I guess I forget how light these cars are.

Eventually, I plan on changing to an RPM air gap, beefed up AOD w/ 2600-2800 stall, and 3.73's. Then, when my rings fianally go, I plan on stroking to 408 and strengthening the bottom end a bit. Looks like the smaller cam is probably a better choice for now...then I'll have to step it up a bit when I make the other changes down the road.

Any other suggestions would be great though...thanks!
