OP, be aware that your current static CR is really more like 9.6-9.7. If you put on 60779 closed chamber Edlebrocks, your SCR will jump up to 10.1 IF you put in .055" thick head gaksets. That will give you a good quench gap in the .035-.040" range between the stock pistons-above-deck-height and the quench areas on the heads. (Make sure you check each pistons' above-deck height at top and bottom.)
You just made you engine more flexible for later changes by going to heads with better flow, and keeping the CR up. I think the below statement puts it nicely:
.... it's more expensive to build power with heads over cam but you'll end up with a more streetable package.
Look at the new hemis and LS engines that's there basic formula. Even 340 and magnums to an lesser extent.
