is 11.2:1 compression too much for 91 Octane

Ferrari 458 Italia

Super sorry I had that wrong, it doesn't have 13.5 to 1 compression, it has 14 to 1 compression! It's a very amazing motor that is used in the 458 Italia Speciale.

My understanding is that direct injection let's you run a much higher CR because there's no fuel in the combustion chamber until it's time for ignition.
