Cam & head upgrade 360 mag

Milling the heads .010 and running a .028 head gasket got you to 9.3:1 compression?
I was told running the .028 head gaskets alone would increase the compression to 9.5:1.
Like I have said many times I don't know that much about camshafts at all, and I don't want to put something in it that's so big it hurts the bottom end, I like having the throw you back in the seat torque right off the line, with the 4.56 gears I know that's going to be putting a lot more of my torque to the ground.
I basically just want to pick a cam that's going to have good torque all the way through the rpm
Range.

Yes. I measured everything before and after. The .010 cut was to help CR a little, but more to make sure the head was flat for a good seal with the thinner gasket.

That's a ball park figure. Deck height, head CC, etc. is +- from the factory. You will never feel the difference of a .2 change of CR IMO. After 10K miles a little carbon build up will raise the CR that much.
