Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

The vent tube extensions and all the "crutch" stuff is something I have researched fully. Matt who was on this thread a bit ago and offered me his old Holly has a 18deg limited distributor he is selling me if I can get him to respond back to me. lol. The BRPV and Vents were on my first list to do along with the other hangar 18 mods.

I have been thinking through everything as far as detonation goes. With this being a daily driver, I want to limit things as much as possible as far as total destruction goes. I was going to have the dizzy limited, a pod will be mounted on it that retards the timing under boost, but advances under vacuum as normal. There will be (what I think) is a pretty considerably sized intercooler on it, and if I ever have an issue, then you know I'll start shooting meth if I have to.

Basically I look at everyone's builds, and the second I see things like "the pump gave up and now I'm going with electronic fuel delivery" I just jump right to the electronic fuel delivery. No need to go backwards with something that didn't work. Even if 99 other people did it and it worked, I go with the feeling of doing it more "bulletproof" so to speak - because I can probably determine that 100% of the people that used the electronic delivery had a higher success rate of it working. There's no need to skimp on money when I am under budget and that will be the reliability portion of this build. If it doesn't get enough fuel it'll lean out, and that would be catastrophic.

The other thing I contend with is almost every other slant 6 car that's turbo-d is a race car. Maybe I'll race mine, but the goal is to have it operate for a 30 minute commute, every day, and to make it just work awesomely.

Also Bill, as an example, I have thoroghly watched your valiant as well, and I showed pictures of it to my dad because he didn't believe you could do "blow through on a carbed engine. You gotta put a pressure box on it" so that helped me in convincing him that he's not always right. Lol. And I showed pictures of the end of your header to my welder to show him what I wanted to do for the wastegate.

Also if I make 250hp, I'll be happy. I'm really just banking on 200 which is like $0.75c per hp on this build which means anything above I'll be incredibly happy.
