Default Re: 12 1/2 -1 compression on the street?

Unless you want to run cam2 all the time, I would at least drop back to 11-1, you can still run a L-88 cam or something aftermarket(roller?)to get the lope you want, run a mixture of racing gas and premium fuel. Timing shouldnt be that big a deal unless you plan on racing it, then you can kick it up a notch.

Chevy made two prototype 1969 ZL-1 Camaros under COPO # 9567 with 11:1 compression. According to one Camaro book they were "intended to provide a more streetable car with more expressive graphics then the regular ZL-1 Camaros".

How much are you going to be driving the car ? I have a ZL1 and a ZL1 replica. I add 5 gallons of race gas and then fill with Premium Unleaded then keep topping off tank with Premium when it gets down a little.
