Default Compression Ratio Help!!!!!!!!

I just replaced the 4.8 in my truck with a LS1 with the mods listed below. Im using the truck heads,intake,etc... My compression ratio is now 11.2 and I always run 93 octane. Do any of you see a probelm with this. I know I could always put some booster in when I fill up but thats just a pain to remember and buy it by the case. Please give me your thoughts on my situation. Thanks!

i see no problem as long as your tune is good. how'd you come up with your SCR? and are these bone stock 5.3's on a 5.7?

Correct bone stock heads on the 5.7-As far as coming up with the ratio my buddy came up with it. I know many people are running higher even with F1 setups but I wanted to check. Ed Wright did the tune for my LS1 and he knew my situation and mods.
