That cam (in original post)is a solid flat tappet with over 250 degrees of duration @.050 lift the pistons have a .440 dome so that would put you around 11.5-1. Nothing you listed is very streetable unless you have a station selling 100+ octane fuel and you will have about a 300 rpm window of power. You would also need a new set of flat tappet lifters and a tough break in on that cam. You would have to break the cam in on one set of springs and then change to the running set. I'd back up and regroup
