cam help?

Im in the middle of building a bone budget 350 to run on pump gas and need a few insights from other people to make sure my math is right and that this will work so I dont waste money.
Heres the set up
350 2 bolt main 30 over stock deck height
stock crank with pink rods 5.7
speed pro flat tops 2vr
enginequest 350E vortec heads with 86/later intake pattern 1.94/1.50 64cc chambers 170cc intake

doing the math (c-p+g+d+v)\(c-p+g+d) Im getting 9.73/1 compression
I was planning on using a comp cams 282S to bring the dynamic down to 8.8/1 which is right in line for a street/strip motor. Any thoughts on a better cam this car is an everyday driver.

That doesn't make any sense. Smells of swirlports to me.

Small detail, but it's '87-later intake pattern. The "Vortec" part still doesn't fit, because that's '96-'99 intake pattern.

Are these aftermarket castings, or rebuilt factory heads?

No flow numbers after .5" lift, I presume. Were you thinking of limiting lift to that?

Re: cam help?

aftermarket heads brandnew bare I was going right around 510 lift max but not set on that
they were flowed to .700 but they lose steam after .500 only 3 or 4 cfm increase after .500

just looked it up they are stock style replacement heads for 12558062, 10239906 (true vortec) with modified intake runners they are machined for guideplates and studs
