first you would HAVE to lower compression to get the s/c on the 3.0 conversion. also, mark does not have track times... mearly g-tech and some speculation. the only s/c tour i saw at the track was pulling mid 14s. with the added torque of the 3.0 you could probably get into the 13s, maybe mid to lows if you are good.
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!
