Yeah since you're wanting to raise compression. While you're there at the head shop, have them at a minimum, do a multi/5 angle valve job, maybe bump the intake size up to 1.9x-2.00, have the seats and back of the bowls that meet the seats cut (opened up) and blended to match. A little work around the valve stem, carefull around the short side radius, and those heads should flow pretty damn well. You could smooth out the ports a bit (no need to hog 'em out), but the flow gains are to be had in the areas that I mentioned first. Just a few thoughts if you were going to be taking the heads into the shop anyhow....

Valvetrain wise: Need good springs for that cam, buy a pushrod length checker use it first THEN order rods, think about doing the rocker arm trunion bearing upgrade.....
