TorqStorm® Slant 6 Supercharger Kit
Is a all iron slant any lighter than a aluminum head small block? I really don't know personally
Well, it doesn't really matter, the weight of the charger setup would push that over the edge anyway......a SB with Al-u-minimum heads & intake would probably weigh
less than a stock all-iron Slanty, the intake and heads on a SB are heavier than the RB counterparts...so You lose a ton of weight with the switch. As far as Auto-Xing,
You're dealing with an inline six, looooong, with a 4.125" stroke and a tall deck ht. inclined at 30deg not 45deg, taaaaaaall. It is not the more compact package, the SB
is. There is actually more weight out in front of the front wheels, and the mass CG of the Slanty is higher, than a SB in the same chassis. The 170 Slanty is lower & lighter
than the 225 by a bit, and had Mopar finished carrying out refining and manufacturing them of Al-u-minimum, things would be very different........but they ain't........
