You can make a v8 push 10s and even be streetable.
Dont fucking flame me though Id love to have a 1g talon running 27psi! Or a TT kit for my car...
And I am a firm disbeliever that dodge can produce a reliable engine (well one that will hold oil at least). AND I give props to Neon R/T ACRs: those cars can turn.
I had a 440 with 170000 miles (which replaced a 160000 mile 400) and it still ran till I pulled it to put a built 64 413 in its place. I would be a quart low at each oil change. Not burning just dried out seals. Replace them and no more leaks. Just about evey 2.2L in the junk yard has other 100K on them. Or very close. Dont know why they are their but they lasted that long. I have a Turbo shadow with 140000 on the clock that the previous owner srcrewed up casuing a rod knock. A ex-cop car Diplomat 318 that hit 140000. It isnt that they arent reliable its the morons that dont take care of the engines. If that was the case then why is Cophers roughly 40% Chevy 30% Ford and the other 30% is combined including Mopars and Imports.
