I like split patterns on most all 23 degree SBC stuff.
The exhaust side usually needs help.

LSA is an overcomplicated term for overlap, the wide (bigger number) LSA is less valve overlap, helping keep the dynamic compression up.
I run a 106 LSA in my 15 to 1 stuff, narrower, higher power band.
If I were 10 to 1, I'd run 110 to 114 on the LSA.......

That isn't a bad looking cam you listed, but I'd at least run 1.6 rockers with it, your heads will support up to near .600" lift.

None of that has anything to do with the Intake Center Line method of degreeing the camshaft in.

I use the valve event timing specs on the card to determine if I'm installed straight up or advanced or retarded. The ICL method is quick and dirty, and depends on the cam being ground correctly, when I use the valve event timing method, I verify that the cam is ground correctly, or if not, I can split any minor differences in the valve event timing.

With that little cam you have listed, I'd run it retarded or straight up for a footbrake car. When you run past 5000 or so with the stall speed, there is no sense in enhancing the low end by advancing the cam.

You should be able to tweak that combo into the high 7's easily enough, and I don't think we need the roll bar down to 7.35 now days.
