355 inquiries

I have a 91 trans am lb9 tpi that i am currently in the middle of building a 355.
I have the block complete and have speed pro flat top .010 pistons. I am having a set of 186 heads machined, hardened valve seats, stainless valves "2.02,1.60" and port and polished. I am having the factory lower intake ported and going to be running 58mm tb and 24 lb injectors.
I have heard since my cr will be over 10.3 to 1 i need a bigger cam "i was going to run a xe262h cam". What are some recommendations from fellow 3rd geners who have built similar engines?
