Let's get this slant turbo project started. 71 Dart

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the advice.

Pardon my ignorance on this. I presume I need to have a machine shop replace the valve seats for unleaded gas and to make them larger to accomodate the valves?

No, I like your place. House looks new, well maintained, nice flat ground, big driveway!

My place in vallejo is a bit run down, older place. Someone did pave the entire front of the property so there is Plenty of places to work on a car. The rest of my slice of land is on a slant so the back yard is not much for landscaping. The previous owner was trying to address this by filling it with concrete chunks so little chance of a lawn back there with out several truckloads of soil.

Mike, thanks for the kind words!!! I appreciate it!

I just have one thing to add, at this point: I think you MIGHT benefit from the larger valves with NO porting, at this point (low-boost) say, 10-pounds,) and a 5,500-rpm redline, but the reason I say that is I believe that porting is not a very good bang-for-the-buck, when you can just add a a couple of pounds of boost and pick it up some (rather than reverting to a ported head for a performance increase.) That (a boost increase) doesn't cost anything,) whereas porting can be expensive unless you do it yourself, not an avenue I'd recommend.


Just some food for thought...
