Shooting mortars out of the plastic velocity stacks???

Guess they were trying to emulate the "Long Ram Induction" with the length of those stacks?

An incognito hot rod industry stimulus package?

I don't mind the supercharger idea, but it sure could've been done with a bit more taste.

Must have spent a fortune to screw up the car, good luck getting the money.

How do you put any supercharger on a Chrysler tastefully.

A smallish huffer would certainly liven her up a bit. At any rate, she's a tasteful execution.

I think this one is very tasty as well...



Wonder if I could fit a supercharger under the hood of the Newport?

Ummm dual turbo Fin drag car? Oh wait that's a Fury, nevermind.

Getting back to those velocity stacks...
Isn't stack length a moot point atop a supercharger?

Anything that helps the air change direction smoothly into the carb will increase flow.

My builder does a lot of hydroplane engines and has season champions and closed course record holders on his resume. Rules prohibit modifying the carb or any parts of it for airflow but nothing against adding parts. He ran every doodad available on his flow bench and so called velocity stacks actually reduced flow from just an open carb. The thing that actually picked it up was a plastic stub stack with the radiused inlet. When I say picked it up I mean less than 10 CFM but when you're chasing that last few horsepower it is significant.

The velocity stack reduced flow by about the same amount.
