Car will run way better than that with an 8 inch convertor and bigger cam.
To give you an idea, i have a 360, mildly ported eddies( far from all out) 4.10 gears, 28 inch tire, flat tappet cam, and am at 10.4 compression. Using a 727 currently. Car has been 11.20's at 118.40 so far at 3300 pounds.
The cam i went to would be perfect for you( if you put a real convertor in the car) Howards 260/264 on a 106, in at 102, about same lift you currently have( which is fine)..... rarely does changing rocker arm ratios show up on an ET slip.
Depends on what you want to do with the car, but you have enough with a couple of changes to run well down in the 10's( if those heads are indeed good)
