Depending on your cam you could actually run that on mid grade. You need to focus on the dynamic compression ratio not the static. You only use static as a step to decide what cam to pick or vise versa.

Is this pertaining to your magical 500whp project?

You need a much more solid understanding of compression ratio, both dynamic and static, what affects both, and overall how an engine makes its power. Your combo still won't meet your goals.
