Do you know how far your pistons are in or out of the hole? With them out .005" and entering the chambers as 71cc, you're right about 11.1:1. That cam would love some more compression!

i dont know how far out of the hole they are they are off the shelf diamond pistons for the 408 just dont remember the part number....... and i figured it would love more compression... how much would i need to mill these to get them in a good range or should i just get a set of like stage 2.5 ls6 heads?

Use the compression ratio calculator at Ross Pistons' website, it's near the top of the page:
http://www.rosspistons.com/products/formulas.php#
It's the most accurate I've found and easy to use.
