This is too much fun :poke:
The rat has a lot of hot air coming out of the radiator - hopefully the soap box breaks soon. Video? lol Cartoon at best. Stop being a bully. :BangHead:
If I was going to use a 6 pack I would do the carbs and intake so I could run cooler temperatures. Chrysler took the easy way out (and cheaper way) to crutch a horrible (but money maker) package.
Pure BS....
That horrible package will beat up a 4bbl equivalent all day long when tuned properly. I have driven/tuned more six paks cars than most. 1 six pak car - 100,000 miles, several engines - the last engine was very wicked...195 degrees. I am still tuning six pak and other cars and very good at it. I will put my tuning skills up against the big mouth rat any day.
All mopar STREET engines of the 60-70-80's esp Six paks do not tune properly at 180 degrees - it's been this way since i started working six paks in the late 70's. Speaking of dynos we had a 505 alum head roller six pak on the dyno at 195 degrees and 625 hp. After getting it run in/tested/tuned we tried tuning for 180 because the dyno guy was ignorant and we wanted to see what happened - we could not get the engine run and make the hp as the a-f ratio was bouncing like soccer ball in play. How much hp is lost without the breather and what happens to a/f when run without it? I know but I'm not sharing further info because this not a technical discussion any more.
Today we have modern instrumentation to know exactly what's going on under the hood - the air fuel & temperature data proves him wrong - period. Rat has not paraded out his technology to prove his old school drag racing knowlege. Temperatures....hmmm there are a number of temps check when tuning besides hot air from rats and the rad temps.
I have a serious bad boy [street car] currently in the shop that runs high speed road course laps really well on full tread that will not run correctly at 180 no matter how it is set up. At 195 it runs very nice crisp against the thermostat with only a 22 inch radiator and the proper mopar fan arrangement. Bring it on Rat....
