Almost blew up Turbo Slant

:cheers: S'all good! lol I'd hate to know how many times I've been wrong. Sorry I didn't post when I seen it on my lunch I could have stopped you on the pistons :) They have been discontinued for years. Ryan either got his NOS, or, if it's the engine I think it is, it's a possibility he bought them new in the 90's :shock: They'd be stock comp height most likely, somewheres of high 7, low 8's as well. Tom's right though, 9:1 would probably be good with 50/50 93/110 and a sweet tune.

I was surprised a little when you said the studs were 220k, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it was just a blanket type statement.

Also, there's a group buy that WAS in the forming over at .org for the 220k studs, pretty sure it fell apart when this was found out:


HOWEVER this was also mentioned


I guess if it is really a priority, one could look into it.

Oh, and for those of you that mentioned MLS, here's the word on the street on that: http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57083

Brandon, Thanks for your patience! This project has gone on so LONG, I can't actually remember how much we paid for those 220,000psi/group-buy studs, but it wasn't cheap. I REALLY wanted some of those studs made from the 260,000psi material, but just couldn't swing it... This is, after all, SUPPOSED to be a hobby; not Cosworth... LOL!

And thanks for the MLS/.org links; that is interersting.

Are you familiar with a Turbo place in Springdale, AR, just East of Fayetteville, (can't remember the name!) ???? Oh yeah; it's the G-Pop Shop.
