    It's definitely NOT 9.5 compression, your pretty vlose with your 11.5 + guess.

    If you have 100 octane gas, your OK, but not good for daily driver with low octane fuel.

    CC recomends 9,5:1 for the cam.
    How will it work with 11,8?

    It's not a daily driver.

    With a good intake and headers you'll be fine. Most likely CC reccomendation is for 9.5 and higher compression. That much cam in an 8-1 engine would be terrible on the low end.
