Engine Masters: Kausi 6

5.9 Magnum Intake Shootout

24min - The 5.9 Magnum is the easiest Mopar V8 to score out of a junkyard, and we're testing intake upgrades for a street car swap. We pit the factory manifold against a worked-up aftermarket piece, an upsized throttle body and two carbureted manifold options.

The Piston Pin Offset Flip

24min - Can the simple flopping of a piston's orientation in the cylinder really affect its performance or behavior? Today, the guys perform what may be the first ever back-to-back comparison of factory-oriented pistons against reverse-oriented ones.

General Mayhem 440 Returns

25min - We strap the General Mayhem 440 on the dyno to make some decisions on which intake and headers to run in the car, but more importantly to squeeze out more than the 707 Hellcat horsepowers that have been so unceremoniously yanked from the framerails.

A Crash Course in Valve Float

37min - We all know valve float as the evil that lurks beyond the redline, the dreaded robber of horsepower and destroyer of valves. But what is it really? What does it look like when it happens? And how can you put it as high in the RPM band as possible?
