I think you're getting the compression ratio mixed up with the air/fuel ratio. An 11:1 air/fuel mixture is extremely rich and the engine would run very poorly. Optimum A/F mixture is around 14.7:1. Eslai, you should definately get a tune done, you'd probably pick up a nice amount of hp and improve the curve even more as you suspected. The computer doesn't richen up the A/F mixture if you run low octane, it just pulls timing so the 91 oct gas isn't why your A/F is rich. Your engine is definately not running at it's peak at 12.5:1
