250 HP Slant Six - No Turbo

If you think you're going to get 300 crank h.p. out of a slant without the benefit of the decades of engine building/racing experience over at .org, AND without breaking the bank, I wish you the absolute best of luck. You're going to need it.

I don't know what led you to believe that "most" of the folks at .org are "stuck up", but I strongly suspect you were just told something you didn't wanna hear, or just given a dose of reality. I'm sorry Dan hurt your feelings. I've been on .org for nearly 10 years, and he's hurt MY feelings on several occasions, too. But he, like the majority of the old-timers over there, are a PHENOMINAL wealth of valuable, real-world information. They are slant EXPERTS. I'm NOT one of those sources, BTW, I'm just a supporter who's gotten invaluable advice from the site over the years. But that's what you're gonna need to get the results you're looking for.

And you've gotten better support here at FABO? Really? I like this site as a source of general a-body info, but I've seen WAY more "you should just drop in a V-8" over here than any other Mopar site, even here in the so-called "slant" section.

A few of the guys with the knowledge you'll need to pull this off drop by FABO on occasion, but if you REALLY want to reach your goals, you'll swallow your pride and take advantage of all the free information and experience over at .org and just IGNORE the people who tick you off, as I do here, at .org, and other sites. Dan doesnt usually respond to the posts regarding race engines, anyway, and make no mistake, a 300 hp N/A slant WILL be a race engine, not a street engine as I define them.

Otherwise, I predict that, like so many others, you'll fall well short of your goal, and, in frustration, swap in a V-8. Which is too bad. But hot rodding slants is about more than just making the most horsepower. Folks either get that, or they don't. Time will tell if youre really cut out to be a slanter, but if so, you'll eventually learn just how few of us there really are. Because of that, we few need to stick together and get along. Again, good luck.
