If it makes you feel any better Mike I dont run a roller cam either as I use a solid flat tappet.
You should have no problem with detonation at 11.1 and aluminum heads if it has quench and the builder knows you want to run pump as he will use a cam with the right intake valve closing to keep the cyl pressure where you need it. I am at 10.6 and I run 92 pump with 37 total timing and have never had any detonation. If your eng man knows you want to run pump then you should be fine as we have the technology today to build many engines to run on pump and make power. Good luck , Ron
