Has port injection been done before on the LT1? What heads get used?

I think one other shop did one. LT1 castings and TSP worked them.

So one of the things I'm curious about with supplemental fuel injection is this.

The use of DI is fundamentally what allows the use of pump gas with static CR of 11-11.5:1. What does flowing fuel into the intake port require with regard to timing adjustments and fuel (octane) requirements?

Well you're effectively doubling the duel supply to the cylinder. So it really is just a way to run additional fuel and avoid adding meth injection.

It's another way to be able to run full e85 also.

However keep in mind a secondary port injection setup takes a completely separate pump (you have to sump the gas tank) and a completely separate ECU to run it.

More fuel supply / volume = ability to run higher octane = more power
