1. Power Handler
FiTech’s Go EFI 4 Power Adder 600hp kit is just the ticket to replace a blow-through carb and even looks right at home atop a roots-style blower. This system is capable of supporting up to 21.7 pounds of boost out of the box as well as a single stage of wet nitrous. The air/fuel ratio is monitored and adjusted with FiTech’s fast-reacting, self-learning technology, plus the ignition timing can be controlled based on boost or nitrous. Most of the settings can be controlled through the touch-screen handheld monitor, but this system also comes with Pro-Tuning software to run on a laptop for even more specific mapping and tuning.

2. Second-Gen F-Body Rear Shock Relocation Kit
Performance Online’s rear shock relocation kit for ’70-81 Chevy Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds allows you to move your rear shocks inboard of the leaf springs for additional tire clearance and making the shock configuration into a non-staggered setup. Utilizing a non-staggered rear shock absorber allows you to run a traditional rear disc brake setup. It also allows the shock absorber to dampen suspension movement and axle twist more consistently. This kit will work with stock or lowered applications.

3. Cap & Rotor
PerTronix’s HEI cap and rotor kits include nylon rotor hold-down screws. Flame-Thrower dust covers provide a larger air gap around the coil, which provides cooler operating temperatures. Cap and rotor kits meet or exceed OEM specifications and serve as direct replacements for ’75-90 Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, and Cadillac applications with GM HEI ignition.

4. Perfect Pressure
Ever had problems with a spongy pedal or slow, unresponsive brakes? If so, you may need a residual pressure valve. This residual valve is installed inline between the master cylinder and disc brake calipers to keep 2 psi of residual pressure at the caliper after the brake pedal is released. This ensures a high, firm pedal next time you hit the brakes. The Speedway Motors residual pressure valve features a distinctive purple anodized finish with ⅛-inch NPT port at each end and allows easy adjustment of front-to-rear brake bias.
For more information, contact Speedway Motors by calling (800) 979-0122 or visit speedwaymotors.com.
5. Keep Current
Powermaster now offers a full line of high-quality charge cables to support the output capabilities of their entire alternator line. The Powermaster Cables are made up of hundreds and even thousands of strands of pure copper wire. With the improved flow of current through these strands, more current can be transferred efficiently with less heat buildup and loss. The cables are finished with machine-crimped eyelet terminals (5⁄16 and/or ¼ inch) and are available in a number of gauge diameters and lengths.
