X2... I am no expert here, but I would think you could jet & time for street, run race fuel & have some fun on the weekends still.

Lower compression

You can get copper head gaskets that are 0.080" thick. That will help pull some compression out and keep you from doing some radical porting to accomplish the same thing.

Change the pistons, leave the cam if you like the sound, or go to a hydraulic roller cam. Cam depends on how much stall and gear you want to use.
You can still make nasty power with 9.0:1 or even 10.0:1
