Default LS/VTEC Compression Ratio q

I am planning on doing an LS/VTEC (don't bash), with p73 pistons (ITR), a b18c1 head, and b18b head. The C.R. is going to be slightly above 12, like around 12.15 ..... is this going to be a problem running on pump gas at all? The highest Octane we have around here locally is 91. Thx

more depend than just octane, although it is critical, you might have to run octane booster...fuel maps, ignition/cam timing..all of this is essential to achieve maximum performance and reliability with a high comp motor. I would hope the person building your motor would give you suggestions...
