You'll need a LOT of tuning with that high of a CR. If things like your barometric and intake air temp corrections aren't really well tuned, you'll be out of your very small safety zone very fast. Basically if it's not very thorough, you can start knocking when the weather changes.

On race mix or straight race gas you will be fine..You could even consider E85 if you have enough injector to handle the higher fuel demand needed.
If you are going to run anything less though you will have to pull timing to help prevent knock/detination. What are you using for management?

keep dynamic compression in mind. What cams you run will play a huge role in how much static compression you can run.
