11:1 is getting close to needing good gas all the time, just depends how locked down the tune is at that point...

you're probably not going to be able to make the valves bigger without going to a larger bore.

you will need to shorten your pushrod the same amount that you mill off the head. you'll have to talk to a machine shop to determine how much needs to be milled off of them to achieve your desired compression ratio. you'll have to measure with the cam to determine any clearance issues... or call TSP, they may have an idea.
