The stock Z6 has 9.2:1 C/R. I have a Y8 which has a stock C/R of 9.6:1. I am currently using SRP 10.5:1 pistons with Eagle Rods. The reason for high compression now is I only run nitrous and wanted some decent daily driving all-motor power. When I go with boost I will use a 2 mm headgasket to drop the C/R back down into the 9.x:1 range.

No. The shortblock was built with SRP Pistons and Eagle Rods. Check the link in my signature for more info on my build up.
