Default My build plans. Opinions welcome

Putting together a carb'd LS1 powered budget bracket car. Car is a 93 LX hatch foxbody. Motor is a LS1 with PRC 2.5 5.3 heads from a 04 GTO that I got from a friend in a trade. Plans for the motor are to pull the heads and have them milled to 56cc, flycut the pistons and then disassemble everything for cleanup and new rings and bearings. With the milling and flycutting and the addition of some cometic .040 head gaskets I figured my static compression will be 11.8-12 to 1 range and the cam I had spec'd from cam motion is part# XA236/370-XA246-360-10+4 which specs out as a 236/246 on a 110+4 with .629/.612 lift, which puts my dynamic compression at 9.02 to 1 which is on the ragged edge of safe for pump gas from what I've read. Intake is a Vic. Jr. and carb is a 750 mighty demon that a carb guru friend is going to dial in for me. Trans is a FTI level 3 glide with brake and converter is a turbo action 5300 stall pro series. Car currently has 3.73 gears and 26 inch slicks for now, I wanna put it on 28s and either a 4.30 or 4.56 gear but that will have to wait for now until my budget allows the change. Ignition control will come from a MSD 6014 and for the rest of the valvetrain I have BTR springs with titanium retainers, BTR SLR lifters, and yella terra 1.7r roller rockers. I'm thinking it should go mid 10s with everything working as it should. Let me know what you all think and any suggestions you might have.
