Default Critique my setup

Ok... My current setup is a h/c/i forged piston, forged rod, stock crank ls2, trickflow 225's milled to 61cc, big cam, fast 102 and full exhaust, 4k converter and flt stage 6....my plan is to yank everything out and pull the heads and cam and rwplace the .051 gaskets with .060 to lower the compression from 11.26 to 10.99 and reinstall the heads and get a mild blower cam. Gor the transmission I had planned to contacting chris@ circle d and getting a better converter for this setup, finally for the boost stuff I wanted to get a a&a kit with the blackout v3 unit and run possibly 7-9 psi on pump gas..... And let the suggestions or the thumbs up begin

War eagle... And id like to be able to run this on pump gas and I already have head studs installed... If I cant get away with the compression I have I do have a stock set of 243's laying around that would put it at 10.76 or buy a set of ls3 heads and put it at 10.26..... Decisions, decisions... If I can use the 225's I have now that would be great but if I have to buy heads then so be it.. Needs to run on pump gas tho.. I see MANY stock ls2&.s running around with 10.9 compression and 7-8 psi so why couldnt I?
