Well the times were straight from the horse's mouth Bret...so take it as you will, like I said - IIRC based on what Mark said on the board. I think I made it clear that it was not based on personal experience, but rather based on what I heard. Secondly, I realize you couldn't just bolt on a SC and go to the track. You'd have to do a TON of work to get the SC running properly. Things such as bigger injectors, lower comp pistons(if going with the 2.5 heads), tuning of the ECU(chip or otherwise) and beefing up the tranny considerably; among many others! I made a broad statement just for the fun of thinking about it, so don't take that as I figured you could just go strap a SC on a 3.0 and fly! Also, it was mainly ideas that I was throwing out there....I was not saying that this would work as I said or anything, just consider it daydreaming  So if you can't have fun and dream about what our cars could be capable of...I feel sorry for you cause that's what makes modding cars fun, you never know until you try!

I'm almost afraid to post, but keep in mind the car was bonestock with crappy tires on.
15.579 @ 88.90 mph
That was also the first time I've ever 1/4'd anything. My new six-disc in dash changer did NOT like power shifting and wheel hop! Took a day before it would start playing cd's again.

So if you can't have fun and dream about what our cars could be capable of...I feel sorry for you cause that's what makes modding cars fun, you never know until you try! i wasn't bringing up the compression issue as something you would have to do to physically get it to work. i was bringing it up because you are going to take a huge power loss when you drop the compression. obviously the better breathing 3.0 heads are going to make more power with the s/c, but the stock 3.0 block with svt heads and lower cr pistons, supposedly flows worse then 3.0 with 3.0 heads. so you are going to lose about 50hp just in the piston swap. so you may net 320+ at the wheels and maybe 240-250 peak tq at the wheels, but that would be way up in the rpm range... and all i am saying is your "day dreaming" of a car that could run 12s should include alot more then a 3.0 with a vortech...
