I am damn near mid 12's with my Car, if not quicker with my ET Streets, and that is just a Hotcam Kit and Port-matched Heads on a 350CI LT1.
well my cam is a 224/236 111lsa. my compression ratio is supposed to be 10:1 but I'm getting a gage and will check it this week. i have never checked the compression ratio i just took for granted that it was what it was supposed t be. maybe when i cracked a piston way back when and had the engine built to a 355 something wasn't done right. because this car has never performed the way it is supposed to.
can i check compresion with datamaster or will it have to be done manually because getting all the plugs out is going to be a biatch.

usually a normal driver from my experience can't get an lt1 into the 12's without a cam or nitrous. If you look at a lot of people on this forum with all the boltons they are usually all in the 13's besides the few that can actually drive into the 12's. I couldn't get mine into the 12's with out my cam and then almost to the 11's with nitrous. And from my experience if all you want is 12's headers are not needed. All my runs were with stock manifolds and stock y-pipe.
