Since this was bumped I will just say that with most y pipes people don't realize that the outlet drops down to 2.5 in. inside diameter. If you are going to run a y pipe ditch that junk and put a 4in. flow master merger in there followed by a 4in. Cutout.

Getting into the specs of the engine...Who, exactly figured up your CR?
A 10cc dish will not yield a 11.1 CR unless you have very,very small chambers. Based on a general thought of builds I've been associated with (used to be the bottom end machinist)
that combo would be around 10:1, give or take a few tenths.
Have a good engine build pro take a better look at your exact components and see what it really has.
from crank to piston, gaskets, true chamber size, etc.
You may have a setup ready for some boost.

I made 463rwhp on a Mustang Dyno through a Borla Muffler and 91 Octane. Based on engine specs I believe I'm at around 10:9 Compression, I get a lot of crap that my 408 is weak and numbers sucks but it runs pretty good as an overall combination and pulls to redline smoothly.
Agree with some that have asked how does it feel? How does it run outside of numbers on a paper? This is overall what matters if numbers matter slap a turbo on it lol.
Here's a run down of the motor/drivetrain:
Heads - AFR Mongoose 230cc / 62cc
Head Gaskets - .050 Cometic
Injectors - 60# FAST
Intake - FAST 102MM
Throttle Body - NW 102MM
Block - LQ9 4.03"
Cam - Comp 243/251, .624/.624, 111+1 LSA, 110 ISL
Crank - Lunati 4.00" Stroke
Pistons - JE Pistons, 12cc
Rods - Lunati 6.125" H-Beam
Exhaust - Cutout - QTP Electric
Exhaust - Headers - TSP 1 7/8" Stainless
Exhaust - Muffler - Borla ProXS
Exhaust - Y-Pipe - TSP 3" Stainless
Driveshaft - Mark Williams Accu-Bond 3 1/2" Aluminum
Converter - Yank 3600
Rear - 3.73 - 12-Bolt
Transmission - 4L60E, Built Finish Line Level 5
