What compression should this setup make?

Hey guys I'm trying to figure out how this should all run together. Here's what I've got
heads- c4ae 6090g with new valve seats guides springs etc..
crank- c4ae-b
Rods- c3ae-c
Pistons- .40 over h395p 1000b-04-c
Cam- adv int dur 278
Adv exh 296
Lsa 107
Int lift .515
Exh lift .501
Edelbrock aluminum intake
Long tube headers
3 inch dual exhaust
1406 carb
Let me know what you guys think of this before I put all this together and what kind of compression/ horsepower I should see. Also if you have any suggestions on parts feel free

So a 390 with 71-74cc heads
If you run a shim head gasket you should be at or close to 10:1 CR
which edelbrock intake ? performer or Performer RPM ? Later will make more hp/tq
you should be in the 400 ish (crank hp)

What about running a standard head gasket?

Depends on Manufacturer of gasket , they all have different compressed thickness .
look up the gasket you have then google compression calculator . punch in all your info and you will get a good idea what C/R you will end up with .
