Slant six turbo cost analysis: 300 hp
Ryan's valiant is what started it all for me years ago. i was intimidated by all of the information needed to put one of these things together. i also wasnt capable of turning a wrench at the level i am now. after years of homework i dove in. if i can get anywhere close to what that thing does ill be pretty darn happy.
Me too, but Tom Wolfe made it all possible for me and Freddie. He did any number of very important things for us, like building us a deep pan, modifying a carburetor's circuits for blow thru operation, recommending what pistons and rods to use, and telling us where to buy them...In short, he made it possible for us to do this without going down countless blind alleys, saving us precious time and money.
We could NOT have done this wihout him.
Thanks, Tom!!!!:cheers:
Not everyone is as lucky as Freddie and I were, though, so I thought that if I could convince just ONE Mopar magazine editor to run a "how-to" series on building a slant six for boost, it might start the ball rolling.
Doesn't look like that is going to happen, though. Mopar Muscle ran
one slant six article about four month ago and promised a series of three, implying that they would be forthcoming in the next issues, but they have not shown up, and it's been several months, now, with no mention of said series. I am doubtful that they would have breached the subject of forced induction, anyway, since those guys seem blissfully unaware of what is possible.
Their idea of excitement is to shoehorn a 500 cubic inch RB stroker motor into an A Body, something that has been done to death...
Unbelievable....:twisted:
