Tried to ask these questions over on the /6 Forum, but their server is kinda buggy at present. I have a 73 Dart 225/904. This is going to be the first /6 I have ever done anything with other than drive. The goal is to come up with a good highway cruiser. Want to keep it on regular gas. After reading some books on the /6, there are some questions that remain unanswered.
1. What is the RPM for a completely stock 225?
2. Is the 225 rev limited due to lack of air? (i.e. Would it produce more RPM is cam and carb were opened up?
3. What is a practical redline for a mildly built 225?
4. I have a Comp Cams 260H and an AussiSpeed 4bbl manifold I intend to install. Should I upgrade the valve springs, too?
5. Have read that there are problems with oiling the camshaft at high RPM. True/False/Comments?
6. If you have grenaded a 225, how did it happen? (If this get's too big, maybe I'll enlist a site admin & start a separate thread.)
