318 piston's and quench

This is my first ever posting. I know a little about the small block 318 but have a few question's. First, a friend of mine think's that I should run a very tight quench ( piston's in the hole 0.002 ). I was thinking about using speed pro flat top's with no valve relief's, they have a compression height of 1.755". Did the math and came up that they'd be in the hole 0.067. Is this to much quench? I don't mind having some taken off the block but if I don't need to I'd rather not. Heads will be swirl port with stock intake valves but 1.600" exhaust valves. I was told these valve sizes are best for port velocity and torque, which torque is what I want as car will be a daily driver. Cam, comp cams XE256H. Don't know exact cc of heads just yet but been told they vary from 58cc to 64cc. At 64cc And 0.040 head gasket I should be around 8.69:1 C.R. Also, does anyone know of a header manufacture that makes 1.500" header's for the small block? Comp com tech and machine shop said that size would be awesome for my combo in making good torque. Any / all help in the building of my 318 would be great. I'm trying to do it right the first time.
