I am running 11:1, but I know of others running higher on 93 octane. I will say, under load in 6th gear around 65-75, I get minor pinging.

There are alot of guys running around in the 11.75:1 area. Not great in extreme heat and can be prone to knock if the tune isnt pretty good. 11.25:1 is enough for just about everyone to make good power on pump gas. Why push it to the max for 10-15 extra hp?
