Super 6 Pros and Cons

[King_berald]

yeh thats what im thinking....but im going by the same theory as the F1 cars....apparently they were their fastest when they were straight 4 turbos....thats why they chucked the 8 cylindars in.... i dunnoo....im starting to think the v8 is the better option aswell....

Drive a few of each, you'll work out what you like.

get the 8 and put a blower on that

 

[HIROLLA]

^^ as above. a nice healthy 5ltr and put a charger on it

Why? super6s are built factory for boost. 5Ls are not.

 

[HARVZ-6]

5l+boost will result in a quicker motor.. deffinatly wouldn say longer lasting tho

the super6 is a dam strong motor and is capable of a life of hell and still do 300thousand ks!

but a ls1/2 has alot more potential again..

in the long run its down to what you want and how much ya gona spend

im involved with a few l67s and they dont need much to run quick, me mate spent 8grand on his vs sII tht ran 12.2.

Personally i would go the super6.

just some things to think about.
i made 195rwkw, petrol is 6.8l/100km on freeway, 11-14l/100km traffic and 22l/100km when i drive like a ***tard
sounds like crap
not as smooth power delivery as a v8 before custom tune, after is very nice
**** loads of torque
awesome whine
(not sure about insurance, but im guessing less than a v8)
i believe a lot more harsh of the old 4 speed than a v8 is
auto and single spinner = not appropriate driveline (my opinion)

hope i helped in some way.

An 8 always has more potential than a 6 because of the simple fact that the 8 has more capacity. More fuel/air = more power.

It just depends what sort of money you want to spend, and which way you want go. It just boils down to personal choice.
