Forge Motorsports Prototype Wastegate

January 25th, 2010 Comments off

There are many companies producing great 44-46mm wastegates these days, however Forge just dropped off a prototype piece for testing that puts a new spin on boost control. This particular wastegate is unique in the fact that rather than using the traditional valve and diaphragm to control the air, this particular unit uses a piston based design. This allows for easy rebuilding and less worrying about a torn or damaged diaphragm. We hope to test this prototype gate in a few applications over the coming months, and if all goes well Forge will offer a production run for general consumption.

Eibach Pro Plus Gives 2010 Camaro SS A 13% Mileage Increase

January 25th, 2010 Comments off

In stock condition, the 2010 Camaro SS recorded 23.34 miles per gallon. With the Eibach Pro-Plus installed, mileage shot up to an impressive 26.40 mpg a full 13% improvement. The Pro-Plus kit is comprised of the Eibach Pro-Kit and the Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit.

Why such a huge difference in efficiency, just from lowering the chassis? Because lowering the Camaro SS an inch significantly reduces its aerodynamic frontal area, and minimizes drag-causing turbulence between the road and the car.

What does this mean for you, in dollars and cents? Over 100,000 miles—just 10% of Eibach’s legendary million-mile warranty—the Eibach-equipped Camaro SS would save 494 gallons of gas. At $3.00 a gallon, that’s a huge savings of $1,482.00.
