For street use, 11 to 1 is over the top, go for lower comp. With 11 to 1 you will wind up retarding the timing to less than optimum coniditions for street use. In turn you will loose the advantage of high comp you started with! And/or will be carrying gas additive around in the trunk and in constant look out for "high octane" stations. That will get old in a hurry on long trips, "mixing" the gas every time you stop.
