Got some 6 bbl goodies coming...performance related

[biomedtechguy]

Bought the Carter M6903 high flow fuel pump for my 6bbl 2 years ago at a big Mopar show and race, but I'm finally ready to install it!
So I bought a new "stock" vapor separator/filter unit since I don't know how old the one I have is, and I am sending my 3x2bbl carbs to Promax when my Promax parts are ready! They will install all of my new Promax parts, "dyno tune" (as best as possible) my jets, power valve, etc, and send them back with an assortment of jets.

and when they come back to me, I'm using this to hook them all up!

Awesome, congratulations!

I have yet to install my Pro Max/6 pack set up.
Let us know bro!

Thanks guys.
I have a set of TrickFlow 240s on my "list" and IQ52 was kind enough to spec out the parts I needed for a particular purpose with them, and I WANTED to get them (and I will) BUT traction has been a problem, I have cut 1/2 a second off my 1/4 mile time by adding 17" wheels for 315/35/17 drag radials, ignition system with a rev limiter so I started power shifting, and since then I installed my Passon Performance a855 and switched out the 3.54s to a 4.10 R&P. With the adjustable pinion snubber, 3 way adjustable CEE-2730 rear drag shocks, QA1 or Viking double adjustable 2 dial front shocks, driveshaft safety loop, line lock all in hand or on their way, I believe I made some smart investments that will improve my times and safety, and provide a better foundation for the TF 240s.
These Promax parts are all part of "buying smart" building towards bigger and faster performance, and can be used for my future stroker motor too!

Did you get this air cleaner?

Looks like a cool setup. Enjoy

Good looking parts ...well done.

No interest in that at all! I am building out a N96 setup and that would defeat the purpose. Only have the hood and scoop installed, fiberglass air box is at the ready. The rest of the parts I salvaged aren't worth fooling with since new parts are available.

 

[Car Nut]

Nice, can’t wait to see everything installed.

 

[Budnicks]

Congrats
Promax makes some pretty decent stuff
should work well & be pretty nice setup

You DO know that 6-bbl / performance is kinda an oxymoron,right? LOL. It has be synonymous!

Au contraire mon ami. Even if, or let's agree it's a fact that I am giving up some HP and torque, my 70 Roadrunner is a V-code car, and as long as I live, nothing but a 6 bbl (or possibly a 3 x 2 throttle body EFI system) will handle the air/fuel delivery tasks...nothing but.
Here's a good article on how well the 6 bbl carbs and intake compare to a modern race 4 bbl and intake:

Check out this article, it is well written, interesting and entertaining IMO, and shows how Chrysler engineers came up with an EXCEPTIONAL performance design for a mass production automobile's induction system:
From the article:
"We came away from the test more respectful than ever of the Six Pack’s power-producing ability. The Performer RPM intake has proven itself in several of our tests as a spectacular power and torque producer on 440s at this power and rpm range. The tuned Six Pack, though not quite matching the torque numbers, edged it out in peak hp. Bear in mind that back in the day there was nothing in the league of the Six Pack. No wonder it stood head and shoulders above the crowd."
And in my opinion, especially on a V-code car, it still stands out!

So many unbelievers, so little time....
Those of us that keep in tune, the ear to the ground, listen not to the “There
Impossible to tune right, you’ll never get it, your loosing HP by the ton...”

We know they can perform, we know.

But that’s OK, when your stuck in your ways, well, your just stuck. You know it all and can not be convinced otherwise, your doomed to fall behind. History taught you that.

Thank you, and the numbers don't lie.

Like I said, even in the face of "potential" sacrifice of a smidgen of torque and horsepower, my V-code Roadrunner will never mix fuel and air without a "Holy Trinity" doing that task, and at car shows, I've never heard someone say "Oh how disappointing, it's just a SIX PACK" LOL.

We do a six pack because we want to do a six pack. Multiple carburetors are awesome.
