XS Power Releases New Lithium Battery

May 7th, 2010 Comments off

The NEW L925-16 Lithium Powerpack from XS Power provides an excellent value in a lightweight racing battery solution for total loss (no alternator) drag race applications. This 16V Lithium-Ion battery has 25 minutes of reserve, a total capacity of 11Ah, and yet weighs only 6.5 lbs.

It features very low internal resistance making for faster engine starting when compared to most 16V AGM batteries. It is built around the common 925 case size used by XS Power and others and therefore fits in many of the battery holders already on the market. The battery is 6.25” L x 6.93” W x 4.92” H. This battery features fast cell balancing for long life, maximum capacity, and safety.

AEM Gives Camaro a Breath of Fresh Air

May 6th, 2010 Comments off

In the design of the Camaro 21-8029C air intake system, AEM needed to work within the confines of the Camaro’s engine compartment. To do so, AEM engineers designed an inlet tube that would give a large volume of airflow with little added restriction. The end result would be a massive three-inch mandrel-bent inlet tube constructed from high-grade aluminum. The design calls for the inlet tube to route from the V8’s frontward-facing throttle body into the driver’s side wheel well. In addition to the mandrel-bent aluminum tube, AEM utilized the optimal location for a cool air source. In order for the DryFlow performance air filter to occupy this location, the Camaro’s windshield washer fluid reservoir had to replaced with a sleeker piece. To this end, AEM designed a washer fluid reservoir that would better accommodate the location. Each AEM 21-8029C air intake system comes complete with a new washer fluid reservoir and mounting bracket.

Titan Motorsports CNC Billet Pistons

April 19th, 2010 Comments off

Designed specifically for high boost/high cylinder pressure applications, the new CNC Billet 2JZ-GTE piston from Titan Motorsports is the pinnacle of piston manufacturing. These pistons feature an asymmetrical design which accommodates for higher side loads. The wide skirt area on the major thrust face increases bearing area to better handle side loads related to high RPM and/or long stroke crankshafts, and the narrow skirt on the minor thrust side helps to reduce friction. The wide skirt area also accommodates proper use of the oil squirter to effectively spray into the center void for proper piston cooling. The entire piston is machined from certified 2618-T6 aluminum bar stock that has been inspected several times prior to machining. The billet design is approximately 15-20 grams lighter than the forged version and is over 30 grams lighter than most other aftermarket pistons.

Features:

• CNC Billet Design
• Asymmetrical design (only asymmetrical piston available)
• Made specifically for high RPM/long stroke applications
• Shorter, upgraded wrist pin
• Double pin oilers, for increased lubrication of the wrist pin
• Accumulator groves to help to reduce pressure between the top and second ring, aiding top ring seal and minimizing ring flutter.
• As much as 30 grams of weight savings
• Additional top and skirt coating available

The TMS CNC Billet Pistons are available and in stock now.

The Eibach Pro-Kit also reduces excessive fender-well clearance, making your car look just as hot as it performs.

    New K&N Intake for 3.6L V6 Camaro

    April 6th, 2010 Comments off

    The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 3.6L V6 has great looks, quality interior, and a fair amount of performance. However for added performance, K&N designed an air intake system that boosts horsepower while protecting your engine from elements that could damage your engine. The 2010 Camaro will really scream after this simple modification. The 63-3075 was dyno tested and shown to increase the 2010 Chevy Camaro 3.6L V6 by just under 15 horsepower at 6200 RPM.

    The K&N air intake replaces the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing with a custom intake tube and K&N high-flow air filter. (By smoothing and straightening air-flow to your engine and allowing air to flow easier into your engine, more horsepower is achieved) K&N air intakes use a washable and reusable air filter and are backed by a Million Mile Limited Warranty.
