Capped. It will be surgy because the maps aren't to the left enough but out will be like running twins on a V8. One off of each head. BMW did this to a couplet of their straight six cars.

Buddy of mine did it to his 440 powered 74' duster. Ive never thought of that Jon. A homade manifold would be nice if one had the patients and skills

91'w250 with a new pump. This one doesn't chase itself around in a circle.

If he's got turbos, why the hump? It looks cool anyways. ;)

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

To be honest with you I have no idea. Possibly spacing issues with the charge piping to carb? He bought the car in highschool off the original owner. It literally was used as nothing more than a grocery getter. It had a 318 that would get burned by a v6 grand cherokee. He moved to pheonix and that's when the serious hp came into play. It is a scary ride once the Turbos light. Traction is a problem even in the upper mph.

Just so there is no exaggeration, or miss quotes.
