Actually since neither of those engines are boosted in any way, I would bet good money they are both 14:1 compression or more

Nitrous in large quantities = low RC ..

Only NA engines need high RC...

That is sort of true, but not really. Nitrous Pro-Mod engines are almost all in the 14:1 range, with VERY few of them being as low as 12.3:1

Nice copy and paste!

Don't buy the info about racing engines that you find laying around.

I bet my head than several of those engines are close to 10:1... You make more power with lower Rc, since you can spray a lot more and use generous timing ...

It wasnt a copy and paste, but pretty much word for word what the 3 articles i found online said. I am a drag racer that uses nitrous (not at the pro-mod level), so i know a little bit on what im talking about. I just wanted to check online before i opened my mouth just in case lol
