Six cylinders just don't sound as good as eight, and even the exhaust note of a 4-cylinder engine sounds better (Sesco Chevy, Offenhauser, VW, etc. and probably this one below too).gr8scott72 wrote:
I know what it sounds like. It sounds like crap. I can't imagine how loud yours is if you just went straight pipe all the way back to that little muffler.
Chevrolet Unveils New Midget Racing EngineWritten by: SPEED Staff SPEEDtv.com 05/07/2008 - 12:45 PM Indianapolis, Ind.
The Chevy Midget racing engine's all-new design features an exhaust-side camshaft that allows for optimal airflow and repositioning of spark plugs and fuel injector nozzles.
The new methanol-burning 166ci (2.7-liter) Chevy Midget racing engine produces more than 350 horsepower. The lightweight, inline four-cylinder engine employs an aluminum block and cylinder head with two valves per cylinder. Per USAC rules, the Chevy Midget engine is equipped with mechanical fuel injection and utilizes an electronic ignition system.
Sixes are best kept quiet.
