Default Low compression + Skunk2 Stage 2 = ?

Hey guys ive searched a little bit, but didnt realy find what i was looking for.
I have a GSR shortblock, and am going to be putting a b16 head on it to get around 10.2 compression (10.5 with a 1 layer head gasket, but im worried about reliablity of one). I have a set of Skunk2stage2 cams that i would like to use. Is it worth even trying them, or is there simply not enough compression. I also plan on running a 100 shot on the weekends for drag racing at the track. Any insight?

You'll have to push VETC to over 6k where the head is flowing or you'll bog for sure

Do you all think that a set of GSR cams would be better then? Im just worried about not having the power i want daily driving it around town-

The gsr will be better with the low comp ratio.The s2's will kill a lot of torque with out the compression.

Im willing to bet that youll get higher hp after tuning with s2s2 than stock cams even in that setup.
