Going up to at least 12.5 is optimum, but anything over 11 to 1 and you'll be buying racing fuel so keep that in mind.
Keep your current cam in there and just upgrade to a good single plane (vic jr) and a bigger carb, something like around A 750 CFM double pumper will be a night and day difference, then you can save up for bigger pistons later on.
Goodluck, Cp
