Compromise.
I never aim to build the best, fastest stuff. Usually I am factoring in fuel milage, idle quality, vacuum, power and torque.
My motors never set records, or raise the standards, but they usually run better than most. I use 112 lobe centerlines in all my stuff. Stuck in my ways I guess.

In my eyes, the 1 point compression gain simply is not risk the power increase.
I would hope the combo would run close to 11.50 @118
I will take what it gives though.
The race wheels and tires I bought from SeeeYaaa will hopefully make my current package consistant 11.80 @116.
My 9.5 inch converter that is sitting on the shelf may yield a tenth or 2 also.
On paper the 406 may even work better than I expect, but I do not ever get my hopes up.

Budget rotating assembly and it should yield approx 10.3 to 1 compression. With the price of fuel, I am staying under 11 to 1 on my builds, preferably under 10.5 to 1.
