Another small block turbo early valiant

I agree, there are people leaving a ton of power on the table with poor hat design. Procharger and extreme velocity are the two best ones out there. The super victor is a great choice for boost. You have to remember that boost is multiplying your base hp and the more base you make the less boost you need to make your goal and if the flow path is good it'll make the turbo work less and that means less heat and less heat means less detonation. Another tip to remember is that the carb hats affect A/F from cylinder to cylinder so be careful with your tune up. The left rear cylinder will run lean with the hat on like it is in the picture.


I don’t see getting around cutting the hood. I’ll probably end up getting a better hat. I appreciate they input. What do you run for ignition? Will a stock electronic ignition work or is a Cdi box worth putting in? I’ve got a 6AL but might just go back to mopar electronic if I will do.
