225 turbo headers
Bill! I cant wait to see what your monster-of-a-slant runs. You should defiantly strap it to a dyno too! ..With video of course.. 8)
A best-case-scenario would entail it running pretty much like Ryan Peterson's car IF we did everything right and could emulate his performance.
He obviously did everything right because his car runs 127mph in the quarter-mile with a 727 transmission (which eats power to the extent that his car might run 130 mph with a 904.)
We haven't done MUCH right so far, but we're stubborn and will keep at it 'til we get it right... or, as right as we are capable of. Time will tell...
Tom Wolfe (Shaker223) helped us a
lot with this build, and the smartest thing we did was to build a copy-cat engine that is as much like his and Ryan's (they are very close to identical,) as we could, so we are just trying to do the best job we can to duplicate the horsepower-producing capabilities of those two engines.
Getting it (that power) down on the track is another problem altogether, but I, at least, have some experience with that facet of this operation; none with turbos or slants.
We appreciate the kind words and interest in our car! Most folks just look at it and shake their heads. saying, "Why didn't you just put a 360 in it???"
Well, both my racing partner and I already HAVE V8 cars (mine, a '72 Valiant with a Vortech supercharged 360 Magnum, and his, a '69 Dart GT with a 390hp 360 Magnum Mopar crate motor sporting Holley Electronic fuel injection, TTI headers and more... and we just wanted something "different."
We got it... LOL!
Now, we have to try to make it work.
Talk's cheap; we'll see!:banghead:
