There is no magic number for you to determine whether you need more octane. Chas is correct with 11:1 being the static # most use.
Head design has alot to do with it as well as cam timing.
I will say this; If you are on the edge DO Not Trust Pump Gas quality, tests have shown this. I would run a mix of race gas for insurance if needed. I do. 10:75:1 SCR and 8.2 DCR
