Scott,

Have you done any Dynamic Compression Ration calculations for your
anticipated engine build? The Dynamic Compression Ratio will tell you
effectively how much cylinder pressure you have for the bore, stroke,
static compression ratio, and the particular camshaft timing parameters
you are using ***while the engine is running***. This is one area that
people often overlook, but using this tool you can make sure that you
don't end up with either detonation from too high cylinder pressure or
lack of performance from too low cylinder pressure.

Here's a link to a web site with information on the subject:

Have fun!
