Default C/R on a Shelby GT??

Im currently trying to get a hold of a new 07 SGT. I was looking at the modifications list and it states that the compression ratio of the motor is different... Does anyone know what the C/R is on a SGT because the dealership had no clue. Actually, they knew next to nothing about anything Mustang related, haha.

Default RE: C/R on a Shelby GT??

According to the Shelby website, the only thing done related to the engine is adding the Ford Racing Power pack. I would assume that the CR is still the stock 9.8:1.
"Under hood, the Ford Racing Power Pack increases the output of the naturally aspirated, three-valve, 4.6-liter V-8 to 319 horsepower, and 330 pound-feet of torque. The Power Pack includes a 90 millimeter cold-air intake and a new performance engine calibration for improved response. The high-flow exhaust system with X-pipe crossover offers better power delivery and a throaty V-8 exhaust note. A shorter rear-axle ratio is installed to capitalize on the Shelby GT coupe's extra power, especially accelerating off the line. For Shelby GT models equipped with a manual transmission, a Hurst short-throw shifter is installed for more precise shift action."

No internal changes are done to the engine at SAI. It is the factory C/R for the 07 model year from ford.
