Tuning? for high compression on a daily driver

Found a set of very good heads for a very good deal, problem is compression will end up being about 11.7:1, question is can that high of compression be tuned safe enough to run daily on 93 octane or am I asking for trouble and should go another route.
Thanks in advance.
If needed the heads are Stage 2 5.3 heads going on a stock LS1 shortblock. The chambers have been milled to 58cc, I dont want to run a thick headgasket and loose quench, since quench dampens detonation.

For me to retain a 8.6-8.7 DCR I will have to have a cam that has a intake vavle closing at 70 degrees ABDC, but I cant find any cam specs to see if 70 degrees ABDC is even close to correct, any ideas on a somewhat average range would be???
Also it says the LSA has alot to do with it but dosen't factor it in on the calculator I am using.
