My LT1 runs fine. Depending on where you live (elevation), you might have to dial the advance back a bit. But if you're lucky to live in a rural area where ethanol free gas is available, use it.
My experience with additives is that they tend to foul plugs. Good luck and enjoy! I would test drive it to see if it actually pings before you buy it. If it does, it is easily remedied, but use it as a bargaining point with the seller.

Stuff in the auto parts store is garbage. When they say "raises it a point" they mean 91. to 91.1 lol
VP or torco is the way to go

I run 93, no issues. May get a little rattle if too much throttle at too low rpm. Mine's a 70 @ 11 to 1.
