Question Engine Experts... Info. Needed ....

I am currently building a 460 Bored .60
over. Yes I know it's not an FE. I have one of those in my Contemporary. This engine is going in a 79 LTD Grocery
Getter... I have decided on Heads, Headers, Gears, CAm, Rockers ETc ETc.
I want to run 11-1 CR, but the engine shop and a friend ( Ford Guy) says OH NO
should stay below 10-1. THe builder that built my 428 ( OLd Ford Guy ) says no problem as long as you keep your cranking pressure down. Performer Intake and at least an 860 CArb. Forged PIstons, Roller Rockers All the Good stuff.
So who's right ? I don't care at all about mileage or the price of fuel... It took a month for this friggen comitee (sp) to try to decide on a cAm and I finally took the bull by the horns and spent a good 45 min. on the phone with Comp. and decided on a split Duration CAm Part # 34-249-4 You can look this grind up on the Comp Page. A little feedback would be nice...
