Obviously they are still making 11:1 compression ratios, because that is the stock compression ratio of the RSX-S. If you take 2 identical motors, and give one higher compression, it will make more power. Race cars use compression ratios sometimes in excess of 17:1, and I have a friend running 13:1 compression in a daily driven ITR. Higher compression means you need more fuel or higher octane fuel to overcome detonation.
