Would be interesting to see a comparison of the actual compression and cam specs for comp vs. S/C (to see how much Carroll had to detune the cars to sell them as "street" runners).
They did not detune anything, they used stock dual 4 medium risers in the majority of SC's.

The race cars had single four NASCAR engines.
