Default 350p budget build cam selection advise

Hey guy's, I'm in the middle of putting together 1973 350 that I've had kicking around my garage for the last 20 years and need some advise on which cam to use. This is a relatively low dollar build so It is staying stock bore with the factory pistons,rods, etc. However in an effort to get the pathetic factory compression up a bit I did have the block zero decked, and had the 46 heads cut 0.040 thou but with the huge chambers i started with they are still only 89cc. I have the cometic 0.027 350 bore gaskets that I am gonna use but even with all that i still only calculate the compression at around 8.6:1 so my question is this, I have this cam LUN-10510702. But my concern is that it won't work great the low compression i have so would i be better off with the
LUN-10510701? When it's all complete it will be going into a 1991 fire-bird with a 700-r4 and i believe 3:23 gears.
