Is this the original plate, I'm seeing others that don't match what is on mine... ?
That is an aftermarket plate someone has added.

I feel your pain. Trying to get rid of all the additives, but just want to confirm what is what before removing...

The factory plate didn't have anything on it.

330 Torque
9:1 compression ratio.

Obviously the LT1 has a 10.5:1 compression ratio, so what gives? Guessing it has something to do with it being the first year, but I haven't found another one with the wrong info.
On the back of the fake tag it probably says "made in china" lol
