Was running:
228/228 602/602 112 (4 degrees of overlap)
now
228/236 588/602 116 (no overlap)
I don't have a "Target" compression. My compression is whatever my shortblock with -3cc pistons and 317s net with LS9 gaskets. I'll probably have the heads cut .010 just to clean them up. Its going to end up near 9:1

If you haven't bought the cam yet i would go with something different. 9-1 compression and a late IVC isnt going to be as fun to drive around. I would also get rid of some of the exhaust duration. More exhaust isn't going to be doing that small turbine any favors.

Don't worry about it. I'm running a cam that would be shunned by internet forums for my setup. 402TT, just shy of 9:1, with 243/251 116lsa adv. 4deg on LSL lobes. In 6th gear at 1700rpm on highway I can throttle it and get 3-4psi. Plenty of grunt down low, and goes nuts up top when it's play time.

Painful to see that. Good luck getting the car back on the road.
