What if a simple intake manifold design could turn an economy car engine into a V8-killer that dominated professional racing?
In this video, we explore the incredible story of the Hyper-Pak, Chrysler's revolutionary performance package that transformed the humble Slant-Six engine from a 101-horsepower grocery getter into a racing legend. When seven Plymouth Valiants swept the top positions at Daytona in 1960, they didn't just win—they humiliated every V8 muscle car on the track using nothing but bolt-on modifications. Through rare engineering insights and technical deep-dives, we'll uncover how Tom Hoover's team created those impossibly long intake runners that produced a ramming effect decades ahead of their time, why NASCAR essentially banned this setup after just one race, and how this $400 kit proved that intelligent engineering could beat brute force every single time.
