Default LQ4 building questions

im putting together a LQ4, and have some questions for you guys, im trying to hit 425rwhp. The car has full bolt ons and am able to tune decently, its also a M6 through a 10 bolt. Im trying to keep this street/strip but leaning more towards a fun street car. Was looking at the TSP torquer V.2 cam, patriot dual valve springs, hardened pushrods(7.400), LS6 intake, ported 78mm tb. The motor has just a tick over 10k on it so its fresh. Was wondering if i should mill the heads(trying to keep the 317s if possible) and bump compression alittle? if so how much? What do you guys think about this setup? Thanks
