Is a compression ratio of 11:1 too high for a road going 998 with a Kent 266 cam?

If you intend running a dizzy and 95-Octane unleaded - Yes. If you run programmed ignition it would be fine.

If you stick with a dizzy - can you even afford to run on it on 97-98-99-Octane super juice? hehe

My other car is 5.7 litres of Ultima GTR which runs on Shell V Power, so the mini wouldn't present too much of a struggle in comparison!
