Slant six turbo cost analysis: 300 hp

RustyPlymouth said

because i already had the manifold. i wanted to run the hyperpac with the turbo. for wow factor and because that intake designed to run in the rpm range my motor is set to run in. and it looks cool. there is no reason that i can think of as to why you wouldnt be able to get 400+hp with a 2bbl though. could probably get more but the openings in the stock 2bbl manifold will become a limiting factor eventually. not sure when that would be but they are pretty small.

The supersix manifolds are almost the same price as a used 4 bbl intake. If you don't have either to start with a 4 bbl may be the best investment as an adapter plate will allow the use of a two barrel. I am starting with a 2 bbl carb and if needed will step up to a four bbl carb.

An aluminum intake should also be easier to modify if you want to port match, add nitrous, or port injection. http://www.dutra.org/pictures/engine/dutra-cuda-engine/nos-test.htm http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x126/rmslant/P1010095.jpg

At least these were some of my thoughts on going with a 4 bbl intake.
