Boo-Hoo, you hurt my feelings with all your misQuotes
I get you love your slantys.
But try not to put words in my moth I didn't say.
If you read it that waythat's your problem.
I tell you what, I'll just go back and edit *22

I have an idea. Why do't you shut up?
 
Okay, now that we've all fed the trolls, can we get back to talking about superchargers? This is probably a question for the "other forum" but I'd be very interested to see if anyone has made a supercharger and AC work for a narrow A. Probably way too specific a build since you'd likely not be building a supercharged street Slant, but it never hurts to ask.
 
My daily driver is a 66 Valiant MoreDoor with a hot-rodded slant six and floorspeed, and I have a 66 Barracuda with 6.1 based 426 gen3 hemi. I must say that I like driving the slant just as much as the hemi. They each have their perks.

That said, I'm very interested in this product. I want to build an AutoX racecar out of a 69 Valiant. One thing I'm learning in my growing experience is that horsepower is not a major advantage on the track, but weight (or lack thereof) is. My hemi car gets beat by Miatas and it's moderately prepared! I'm still weighing whether to build a hot 360 with aluminum head, intake, etc. or a super hot long-rod slant. The idea of a light potent slant is weighing heavily on me and this supercharger kit tickles my fancy. I wonder what kind of boost it can produce and what a slant could take, and at what compression.

Is a all iron slant any lighter than a aluminum head small block? I really don't know personally

Well, it doesn't really matter, the weight of the charger setup would push that over the edge anyway......a SB with Al-u-minimum heads & intake would probably weigh
less than a stock all-iron Slanty, the intake and heads on a SB are heavier than the RB counterparts...so You lose a ton of weight with the switch. As far as Auto-Xing,
You're dealing with an inline six, looooong, with a 4.125" stroke and a tall deck ht. inclined at 30deg not 45deg, taaaaaaall. It is not the more compact package, the SB
is. There is actually more weight out in front of the front wheels, and the mass CG of the Slanty is higher, than a SB in the same chassis. The 170 Slanty is lower & lighter
than the 225 by a bit, and had Mopar finished carrying out refining and manufacturing them of Al-u-minimum, things would be very different........but they ain't........
 
A fully dressed \6 weights about 40# less them a fully dressed SB. Nobody seems to concerned when they use a 4.125" crank in a V8 to get the big cubes. But it is "bad" for a \6. Those that actually weight their cars with 4 corner scales don't seem to see any difference between the two engines.

But "common knowledge" is always correct, even when it's not.
 
That's a pretty bad azz kit.....price ain't bad either!
I'd love to see some dyno numbers before and after. ...!

One does not build a Slant in order to rotate the Earth.
One builds a Slant because they are difficult and challenging.
It's a thinking/fabricating man's game. Not everyone is equipped to play

If You're gonna insist on posting "rebuttals" You might want to take a reading comprehension course first.............................

This is the supercharged slant.
 
With only 4 mains I wouldn't boost it too much. The competition has 7.

While true, I read a study quite a while ago that showed the stresses were more acute on the crank w/the 7 main arrangement, but a lot less rotational mass.
Take that for what it's worth, I'm not endorsing either as "better" particularly, just puttin' it out there.
Will Burns doesn't seem to have the 4 mains popping out the bottom, and neither does Steve Nitti in His Supercharged 10 sec. Duster, so it's not kryptonite by any means.
