Well I can tell you that the compression ratio is 9.5:1 not 9.4:1.
The cam doesn't seem to be correct from the information I have about it, although I wouldn't doubt it if my info was wrong. The cam is .4128 valve lift at the intake and exhaust valves, which is .258 cam lift. It is also 182 degrees @ .050 intake, and 192 degrees @ .050 exhaust. Everything else seems to be correct about it. The timing advance at WOT would be around 30 on a N/A 3800, so you may want to change that also. But, it looks to be pretty accurate the way it is, so you may want to just leave it alone, the things that a wrong that I can see are so minor it isn't even worth changing.

BTW...Where did you get that program...it looks pretty awesome.

It depends on the year and induction. I think mine is 70mm, but '92-93 L67 is smaller (65mm?) I really don't know about the NA engines. PM Willwren or Jr's3800. They have the magic book.
