well, its DEFINITELY NOT FI............hes running 10.5:1 cr.........unless he runs like a 50-shot with a PROPER tune.........it aint happening. hes not a top fuel car running 2:1 air/fuel mixture. i mean, they run like 24:1 cr, with 40/50psi of boost. its insane. but, im guessing he just wants more performance, with durability and streetability, which is why im gonna go 11:1 n/a

Im planning a 100-125 wet shot of NX. I may be getting an even steeper ratio (11.1:1) when I bore out the car (to .030 over); As we all know, nitrous likes high c/r :-p Regardless, There was nothing wrong with the stock bottom end, except that its all cast :-p (except the crank). So need I say more? Plus stock c/r is 10.1:1, as opposed to 10.5:1 PLus they take more abuse :-p

Stock GTs are 9.85:1, Stock mach1s are 10.1:1 and I belive the stock 03-04 Cobra is 8.5:1

If you've done that much work to your car and only beat him by a car, then that Camaro must be running pretty good as well. Good kill.
BTW, was it a bright flat orange (hugger) or a deeper metallic orange (sunset orange metallic)? I'm not a fan of hugger orange, but SOM is my favorite color on an F-body. My friend has a 2001 SOM Super Sport and it's gorgeous IMO.

Id say the camaro was stock or close to stock. With just headers/lid/catback they should put down roughly the same power as the Mach 1 is making. Good kill either way though.
