GALLERY: FACTORY SUPER SIX WAKES UP OUR 1967 DODGE DART

the only thing a super six (2bbl. set up) did for mine was give better throttle response and believe it or not.....slightly better gas mileage. There was not a huge improvement if any in the power dept. Picking up the pace to pass someone on the highway was a little easier with a 2bbl. because it didn't need a harsh downshift at 65MPH to keep up. The 2 bbl. kinda fed it some more to smoothly pick up the pace, sometimes downshifting from OD to 1:1 was needed if going up a hill or steep road.

I guess the added pep would be considered waking it up a bit, sure made it fun to drive on long highway trips.

The only time I ever felt a lot more power from a slant is when I built the slant for my valiant, starting with a fresh rebuilt motor with a better cam milled head and block and a few other things that made it ready for a Hyper Pak set up but that is another case study.
