11x8?  Isn't that an imperial units?  Why would you make a drawing in imperial units using a metric template?  Sounds like you need to scale it.

Text and dimensions can go in model space or paper space the choice is yours.  If you are going to put them in model space then you might want to consider using annotative scaling.  If you are going to put your text in paper space just use real world heights.  As for dimensions in paper space just make sure your dimensions are "associative" and again use real world heights.
