Default Blown Small Ford 408"

I am building a blown 408" Ford smallblock. Enderle bug,Hampton unstripped 6-71 blower,Hampton manifold,74' Ford block,Ohio crankshaft crank and H-beam rods with Mahle pistons. I plan to run a roller cam,not picked yet,(I have one but don't have cam card or specs on it).
I am putting a shorty powerglide w/1.76 gears behind it and will have 3.90 gears all in a FED with 31/13 slicks.
I have read here 11:1 compression is max. Jim at Enderle said if I run alcohol 12, 13 to 1 is OK with right drive on blower.
I guess I am just asking what others think about this set up or has anyone else run a similar set up and what issues might I encounter ?
