Street performance tips, 225 slant 6

I know you asked moparkid, but, IMHO I think it would be best to go with either the front and rear dutra duals or a modified rear and a front dutra because when it all comes down to things it still is a slant six and again IMHO I think it's best to focus on torque more than HP for a street /6 that's going to be driven everyday especially on a torquey engine like the 225 (I'm assuming it's a 225) but clifford has terrible customer service. so I guess if I had to choose it'd be the hookers.

well as some say the best street engines have the longest stroke well at 4.120" i think its doing pretty good considering my 505RB stroke is 4.250". anyways the hooker headers have an exhaust riser to a stock manifold to heat in and the after market manifolds have water passeges in them so ur good there. after i broke my motor in a bit (i was still at Wyotech) we thru it on the dyno and it put down 200HP@5k rpm and 240 Tq @5K rpm, i stopped at 5K when the motor was just starting to climb the power band, and it hit 200 tq @2500 rpm! and this was all with a stock converter and trans with 7.25 out back with 2.93 gears... torque is not a problem!
clifford makes an alright manifold but other than that i would buy nothing of theirs... get a good cam from schnider, erson, engle, or egge. a company who has been thru the ropes and knows whats going on! and i dn't care what they tell u with a slant the LSA has to be below 109! preferably 105, seems to be the magic number.

the true power of a slant lies in the cam shaft and head porting...

moparkid, are the Hooker headers better than the Clifford headers?

well i think they are being that they are the only! tuned headers for the slant six. cliffords headers arn't tuned, they just free up HP not make more. the hookers are good quality peices that fit good, tight but good.
