Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Found this thread where Shaker223 mentions his dyno run and states that the motor is stock other than 340 valve springs and a turbo (his first post in the thread). Further down in the thread, it appears that this "discusson" (<- pissing match) happened before he made his first drag run.

Without looking further, I feel that this supports my foggy memory that the 340 valve springs went in at the same time the turbo went on, and that he always had a stiffer spring in the head.

I suspect that if I looked farther, he might even be the source of my recollection that stiffer springs are needed when a motor is turboed.

Not poking at anyone, just documenting my shaky memory.

Crane makes a replacement 340 spring that is better than the "340" spring manufactured by Mopar. The Crane spring has a few more pounds pressure on the seat (not much more,) and will accept a lot more lift before it coil-binds. I apologize; I don't have the Crane part number readily-available. And, yes, the pressure from the intake boost on the bead of the valve is trying to blow it open, so, you need to counteract that with more valve spring pressure. You do the math; I can't find my calculator... :banghead:
