Well, what do used 6-71s go for?

I honestly didn't know they still made them things. Were always cool back in the day. Posting up pics when you get going on it?

Saw that car at Fall Fling. It was nice to talk to you and meet your mom. Killer set up and a sweet ignition system. Too bad about the headers..... :poke:

Wait! I know the answer to this one. It's your father?

A good friend of mine put together a LQ4 6.0 engine with a single turbo for his old Ford truck. Thing runs like a striped ape.

I'ld say post away. Information is information. You can never have too much.

Southernman, Very well said and thank you. I don't think I've ever had anyone explain the belt tension in a way I understood before. (Most answers I got were of the just cuz variety).

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha! Forgot I had my computer hooked up to my surround sound for watching movies on the big TV. That sounds fantastic!

So, how about that first mod being a trailer hitch and a small trailer with a huge fuel tank on it?

Yep, works pretty good. It's amazing the power levels that are acheivable today. Just did a 66 Chevelle with an LS7 and a Magnuson intercooled supercharger and a 65 GTO with a Mast built 454 LSX and a Magnuson intercooled setup. Phenomonal beasts that are very drivable. (and my pics are still...

When I was at Famoso a couple years back for Pinks, there was a guy there with a Chevy truck with a PVC twin turbo setup. Tried to get a pic but never got next to it when I had my camera.

Wait! You can turn the monitor sideways? Crap, I've been setting it on the floor and laying down next to it. Kind of embarrassing when you wake up three hours later with the dog licking your ear.......

I know, right? I checked the link just so I could try that. Of course I'll never remember it when I need it......

If I remember correctly, isn't it the exhaust heat that spins the turbo? I would think that some backpressure would be of benefit. Or is it just that once the exhaust is thru the turbo you want to get it out as fast as possible?

I'm really interested in this thread. I am wondering if for any given mod, engine for engine, wouldn't you be better starting off with a bigger displacement? Just asking with my haven't had coffee adled brain.

Now that's funny.

Besides, I like your car and I get to see it every time you post.....

No frog no, don't be quiet. You are one of the good peeps who knows what's what.

My amigo Jerry finished up a blown 360 in a 33 Dodge sedan that was an absolute hoot to drive. I can hit him up on the cam specs, but I want to say the centerline was in the 110 range.

Jesus fish, what took you so long to get here?

Whoops, my bad, I should've stated static compression. For a street motor, go 8 to 1 or a little lower. On the cam, alot of folks sell "blower cams" that have a huge seperation angle. Try to keep it tighter. Talk to the guys at Hughes or Clay Smith Cams. One of my best friends builds quite a few...

Did I misread that the OP was looking for some eye candy wow factor appeal also? Traditional roots style superchargers can be alot of fun on a street car and are very visually impressive. Littlefield, BDS, and Dyer are very good manufacturers of blowers and kits. (Kits? Sorry, why reinvent the...
