Have a read here for a pretty lucid explanation of the factors involved
in getting the most out of increased compression...

It's a little bit of a juggling act, but providing you don't go crazy, the
stock ECU should be fine. Racing engines run a lot closer to the edge.
Stock engines have a lot of latitude built-in to handle normal rebuilds
and carbon buildup etc.
