I buy the highest octain pump gas and mix it with Av. gas 50/50 mix. This works well on my 427 C.I.

I run my 327 on 94 Sunoco....It has a .003 deck (cut pistons & squared the deck front to rear and side to side ) with a true 10.5 to 1 compression.No problems.....My guess is without a true blueprint most 11 to 1 motors are hardly that.I would have been lucky to get 9 to 1 on mine.

I run the Jack Podell Lead/Octane additive in my soft valve seated L-78 Chevelle for years now.Just 12 oz. to every 10 gallons of 93 seems to agree with it.
She does run hotter though.
