The newest "building a slant six" thread
Just for clarity, the torque curves I am referencing are represented by;
1) stk early cam 225, true 8:1 static, Super6 setup w/opened up exh.
2) 225 OCG 2106R, 9:1 static, same induction & exh., ported head & o/s valves(mid-upper level flow rates, max 177cfm).
The take away here being that no Tq is given up 1500 & above over stk., & very little is lost below 1500, with significant gains in the mid-range.
