People for some reason think that you can't run compression that high with pump gas in an LT1 but guess what? There are lots of cars doing it. With a big cam you can get away with real high compression. So no jet fuel. Regular ol 93 will be good as long as you have the cam do back it up.
Times/mph in my sig...Weenie cam, 11.2:1, LT1 LPE/E.B. Porting heads, Vig 3600 (now 4000), Strange 12 bolt w/ 4.10s, 275 60 R15 M/T ET Drag Radials, whole lotta of attention to detail...3600plus raceweight and driven everywhere...don't own a trailer...Shooting for a 10.99 this year...

Mine is 13.7:1 and I run 110 unleaded(track only car)
one word of advice if you dont have a ignition box that you can retard the timing at start up you will be going through starters real fast
I have a digital 7 box and retard the timing 20 degrees on startup

Interesting, I never had any idea retarding timing would make it easier to start, I will need to go research why not darn it lol. My starter sounds like it gonna kick the bucket every time I roll mine over and its no where near 13.7:1
I run 12.5 to 1, better have your poop in a group to run that static on pumpfuel, people dont realize that pumpgas is not always the same at every pump.
I get fuel from a very busy Shell station, the fuel stays fresh(er).

13.1:1 
Big overlap cam, timing pulled, higher octane fuel ... pick your poison (or some combination thereof).
Keep us posted on how it works out and make sure your tuner knows what he's doing.
Make sure Lloyd knows what SCR you are running so you get a cam that will work.
To the original question;
Asking what 383s run is like asking what 350s run. Displacement is a minor factor in the whole equation.
Component selection and overall attention to detail in selecting a combination will ultimately determine what
you can and cannot do and thus what you can run.

Timing doesnt necessarily have to be pulled, I run 36 total. But the quench has to be TIGHT and dead on. Among other factors.
Yes a cam with more overlap is required, but mine isnt bad, pretty docile as solid rollers go.
