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 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...
