'55 223 CAM SPECS

I just got my cam back from Schneider Cams. Here's the grind specs below. My education on cams equals about 5 hours of internet time, so I told them to do what they do given relevant truck specs below.

Compression ratio: 7.5:1 stock. Machinist got 7.6:1 actual. Milled head & block to increase to 8.5:1.
Cylinder bore: 0.080" over stock specification. (Stock = 3.6274" + 0.080" = 3.7074")
Carb/Intake/Exhaust: https://cliffordperformance.net/stor...em-w68-headers
Gross Vehicle Weight: 5000 lbs.
Curb weight: 3300 lbs.
Transmission: manual 3 speed w overdrive:
First gear: 2.78:1
Second gear: 1.62:1
Third gear: 1.00:1
Overdrive: 0.70:1
Rear gear ratio: 3.92
Rear tire diameter: 28.36"
