1. Getting Fit
Confirming your wheel specs, including backspacing and offset, to order new or custom wheels can be accomplished in no time with Speedway Motors’ Wheelfit wheel backspacing tool. Simply assemble the wheel fitment calculator tool extensions inside the tire you plan to run and secure the sidewall clamps. Bolt the hub mounting plate to the extensions and you’re ready to mount your tire and take some measurements with their wheel offset measuring tool. It’s that easy.

2. Let’s Get Started
To facilitate the installation of OEM high-torque or compact aftermarket gear-reduction starter motors on a variety of engines, ARP has developed a series of starter bolt kits engineered for the tasks at hand. They are manufactured from a proprietary stainless steel alloy that is nominally rated at 180,000-psi tensile strength and fully 20 percent stronger than Grade 8 hardware. Available in 5/16-18, 3/8-16, and M8 sizes, the threads are rolled and the shank knurled (where applicable) after heat-treat, which provides up to 10 times the fatigue life of ordinary fasteners.

3. Rockin’ Grille
Classic Industries announces the arrival of the new OER reproduction front grille for the ’85-87 Camaro Z28 and the ’85-89 IROC-Z models that included front foglamps. Each grille is injection molded to factory specifications, replicating the original grille in design, appearance, and fitment. The grille features the correct “CAMARO” wording engraved in the front, utilizing the correct font and white lettering.

4. Blowin’ Through
Holley’s draw-through supercharger carburetor line now includes the XP series. Like the existing HP line, these are available in 600-, 750-, and 950-cfm flow rates and standard polished with black accents. The feature-laden XP includes a contoured venturi inlet for balanced airflow, screw-in air bleeds for precision tuning capabilities, high-flow billet metering blocks, billet baseplate, and Dominator-style fuel bowls, which allow plumbing from either side. Supercharger XP carburetors also have a unique capability that allows their power valves to reference the intake manifold vacuum below the supercharger.

5. Smart Ignition Coils
Summit Racing Ultra-High Performance Smart Ignition Coils put out 42,000 V and 135 MJ of spark energy. That makes them one of the hottest coil-near-plug coils available. The coils have an internal insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) ignitor. That makes them ideal for use with high-performance aftermarket EFI systems that are capable of running a distributorless ignition or remote coil-on or coil-near-plug ignition system. Summit Racing Ultra-High Performance Smart Ignition Coils are available individually or in a set of eight.

6. Tubs for Leaves
The Detroit Speed Mini-Tub Leaf Spring kit accommodates wider tire and wheel packages. The spring rate is 150 lb/in, and they lower your car 2 inches from stock. Detroit Speed’s leaf springs offer great handling without sacrificing ride quality. In addition, the spring is biased, so the front spring section controls the spring wrap during hard-load conditions. The springs have a tapered leaf with an anti-friction pad between each leaf to help provide a smooth ride. This complete Detroit Speed rear Mini-Tub Leaf Spring kit includes all the necessary parts for a complete project package.
