No you can't. With 10.7 static c.r., if you shorten up on the cam, you'll raise the dynamic c.r. to the moon, making so much cylinder pressure that the motor will not operate on pump gas. You are pretty much optimized with your combination right now. I just don't think you're gonna like it for very long.

The only way to do the whole thing differently is to start over with either different combustion chamber volume or different piston crown volume to lower the static c.r. to where it will be pump gas compatible (around 9.0:1) with a short cam. The shorter cam will make power down lower and you won't have to run a high stall converter.

Bottom Line: Maybe you have spec'd the motor the way you want it. If that's the case, bolt it together and enjoy.
