well, I just picked up a DSS bare 306 for really cheap, now I need some opinions. Here is the parts list.

Cobra intake manifold, ported lower
Box stock twisted wedge heads/1.6 Crane roller rockers
trick flow stage 2 cam
70mm TB
73mm MAM
Densecharger intake
UDP's
130 or 200amp alt(not decided yet)
Taurus electric fan with DC controller
MAC equal length headers, Prochamber and Magnaflow catback
No smog/AC
3.55 gears
255lph fuel pump

the part I need help on is piston compression choice. Need them to be notched or whatever it is called to clear the cam, but any opinions will help. I just want a 300rwhp car.

You should have no trouble squeezing 300 rwhp out of that combo. As far as compression ratio, you'd be wise to stay at or below 10.5:1 so you can run pump gas without problems. If a power-adder might be in your future, you will want to stay closer to a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
