You would get the most bang for the buck from shaving the head 9.5/1 is usually 
considered a safe CR for a street car. A machine shop guy told me a three angle 
grind was better for performance, but I always thought it was more for 
longevity, will defer to other's opinions on that.

Have definitely read that oversize valves are of no benefit unless you are 
going racing or very major street mods.

I would also smooth out the sharp edges in the combustion chamber and match 
intake and exhaust ports and manifolds.  The Kastner competition prep manual 
goes into detail on this and can be had on eBay and the various sources for $10 
bucks or so.
