I run 11.5:1 in my heavier Mustang on 89 Octane. The trick is polish everything for no hotspots (valve reliefs, edges of valve, chamber, etc, and in your case I'd probably have the chambers opened slightly, unshoruding the valves for more airflow and even bore matching while cheating a few cc's out.

With a timing curve of a 26 degrees in no sooner that 2700 or so, and an initial of 12-14, you should be fine on 91 pump gas in the lighter car

The last thing is, make sure you are running a cam with some overlap, if you go with a mild cam, it will ping
