L98 383 Stroker build 10 psi

Hey so this is my first build and I'm trying to do it right the first time.
I'm building a 383 stroker for my 1986 Z28. Heres what I have

L98 block bored .030 over
Stroker assembly from enginekits.com
crank stroke 3.75
5.7 forged rods
12cc dished pistons
splayed main caps
novi 1000 with 10-11lbs pulley
1.6 crane gold rockers
hardened pushrods (stock length)

So with 64cc chambers the compression ratio should be 10.2:1 :yikes:

I know thats way too high to run 10psi so I want to know what size chambers should I be looking for 68cc, 72cc or..... size runners 190cc or 210cc?

Also what size cam? I want it to be a hydraulic roller cam.

I was thinking and airgap intake

btw it is a carbed motor. Unsure on carb setup aswell.

All help would be really appreciated. :beer:

Call comp tech line and give them your set-up: comp ratio, heads, weight of car, etc.. and they will give you your best options. Go with the bigger head option 210 cc and a 76 cc combustion chamber. If you lower the comp ratio you will have more room for higher boost numbers. Why did u go with a 5/7 rod when you could have gone with the 6 inch rod and had better rod stroke. Are you going to stay hyd roller on the l98?
