What is the C.R. of the stock LS6?
Tried a search but couldn't find an answer to this simple question. Reason I'm asking is a bud is thinking about supercharging his LS6 T/A. BTW, he says the factory ran out of LS1's at some point in '02 and his T/A was one of few that got the LS6, anyone else heard of this?

To answer your first question, Google is your friend.
As for your friend getting an LS6 in his f-body, he's half right. He may have been one of the fortunate ones who managed to get an LS6 block. But, the heads, cam and other internals are still LS1 parts.

So there's no way he has the heads and cam?
Anyone know the C.R. ?

Re: What is the C.R. of the stock LS6?
The LS6 is 10.5:1, and the LS1 is around 10.1 or 10.2 (I've read both numbers on different spec charts). Ideally, a motor should be in the ~8 or 8.5 range to get the most potential out of supercharging or turbocharging, but lots of guys still bolt blowers onto LSx engines, just don't run too much boost!!
