nice. that's well into the 10's for your first 10 second run

just curious, what octane gas do you run? i want to mill my heads, but my tuner says it's a bad idea with california's 91 octane.

I look at it differently.

Ignition Advance should be set to the optimal point that ignition should start to deliver the highest cylinder pressure (i.e. power) and avoid knock (premature spontaneous ignition).

With E85 because of it's higher octane, the engine will benefit with higher compression ratio without knock. Just running E85 with a stock compression ratio and more timing will not yield the same increase.

More timing does NOT automatically make more power. You need the higher compression to get these results.

-What cat-back exhaust are you running?
-What size and type of headers does your vette have?
-who did the install and tune?

I just ordered the same cam from LG and also bought their LG 1 3/4" Super Pro headers (no cats) w/ a Fast 102 intake.

How street friendly do you feel this cam would be?

Thanks
