I was wondering if i can put a 4-bbl nitrous system on my slant? I have a clifford intake, 500 cfm edelbrock carb and split headers. the engine is basicly stock internally. I want to port/polish the head though and install electronic ignition. I know i need to run colder plugs and retard the timing on the spray. Can the slant safely handle 75-100 hp of nitrous?

Thanks, Tom B.

-I love the new site!

A stock SL6 in good condition can handle a 75 to 100 HP shot as long as you follow all the "rules" of nitrous. The biggest issue is having a good fuel supply because if you run low on fuel pressure....poof!

The other issue with a plate system is finding one with a "cloverleaf" spray pattern instead of the "side to side" spray bars most V8 plates have. For the SL6 there is a backwall to the intake that does not need to be sprayed an end runners which do.

Overall a cheap way to get lots of power, my system knocked 1.5 seconds off the car

Personal opinion, I don't like a plate system on a inline engine. I know a lot of people run them. I just didn't like what I saw on a bench test. I am now up to a 175 hp shot on my fogger system, and have had no problems, yet. Just about a 3 sec improvement on my Cuda. I have over 75 full track nitrous runs, right from the start line and out the back door.

wow charlie, thats pretty amazing! How much did your system cost again? I just want to explore all my options before i spend my money.

I probably have about $1000 in my whole system. That includes the dual electric fuel injection type pumps, braided lines and stainless fittings, and three pressure regulators. Also I purchased everything new. It can be done cheaper. One place not to scrimp, is in fuel delivery. Overkill is good.

I saw Charlie’s car at the Mopars with Big Daddy show. It looks sweet. After seeing Charlie’s setup, Nitrous looks doable.

Also there was always a crowd around it. I got chased away once by magazine photographers. Maybe we will see it in one of the MOPAR Mags in the next few months.

That's cool. Charlie deserves some press for his Slanted efforts.
