Help me spend my money, LOL.

Agreed. I also know that a stock set of 302 heads on stock spring retainers clear a factory type valve stem seal at .500 actual valve lift, so if you ran a .500" advertised lift, you will still fall short on angle and clear just fine on that end.

The only way to bring compression up significantly in that late truck piston 360 is to do it with heads, without tearing the low end apart to replace the pistons. You could do that, but to do it right, you'd have about $450 in pistons and rings. Maybe a tad less.

Have you thought about just running some magnums?
