New transmission pan with HDT Coating™ makes gasket leakage a thing of the
past

One of the sad
facts in drag racing is that Powerglide transmission pans leak. Conventional
transmission pan gaskets are prone to deform and leak if tightened just a hair
too much; and even if a decent seal is achieved, you can count on lots of
scraping and dealing with messy sealing compounds the next time you need to pull
the pan for a fluid or filter change, which may be just a race or two away. As
part of its PRO-X™ line of hardcore racing components, the new Powerglide O-Ring
Transmission Pan from TCI® makes these and other transmission pan problems a
thing of the past.
 
The TCI® Powerglide O-Ring Transmission Pan features
an industry-exclusive o-ring seal that makes it easy to achieve a leak-free seal
every time, regardless of how flat or uneven the gasket mating surface may be.
The durable, 1-piece o-ring can be reused several times, saving the time,
hassle, and cost of replacing a gasket every time you need to pull the pan on
your Powerglide.

The TCI® Powerglide
O-Ring Transmission Pan also features the TCI® proprietary metallic-gray Heat
Dissipating Technology™ (HDT) coating, which has been proven to reduce
transmission operating temperatures by a wide margin over competitor’s coatings.
Additional features that help reduce operating temperature and extend
transmission life are cooling fins and an additional 2 quarts of fluid capacity
over the stock Powerglide pan. Constructed from extra-rigid sand-cast aluminum,
the TCI® Powerglide O-Ring Transmission Pan will also add structural rigidity to
your Powerglide case, further strengthening it against the severe load of a
high-horsepower drag racing engine. Included with the transmission pan are a
reusable o-ring seal, transmission filter and filter spacer, and stainless steel
mounting hardware. For more information about the TCI® Powerglide O-Ring
Transmission Pan, call us at 1-888-776-9824, or visit them online at http://www.tciauto.com/.

Are you
taking your cars to the extreme? Then, why not use an oil specially formulated
for just that, extremes. Royal Purple’s New XPR (Extreme Performance and Racing
oils) are formulated for ultra-performance applications such as racing,
high-performance engines, modified engines and off-road use. It produces winning
results on the racetrack and is safe enough to use in your daily commuter car.

Professional
engine builders and race teams have cited increased horsepower and torque, and
longer engine life with the use of Royal Purple According to multi-year IHRA Top
Fuel Champion Clay Millican, “When we began using Royal Purple, I couldn’t
believe the difference. Run any oil back to back with Royal Purple and you’ll
see a difference.” Independent tests on racing engines show as much as an 80%
reduction in wear by using Royal Purple's XPR oils compared to other racing
oils.

XPR's high
film strength makes it exceptionally well-suited for high performance cars and
trucks, particularly turbo and supercharged engines and / or engines using a
nitrous boost.   It's also the go-to oil when performance enhancements have been
made to an engine such as a stroker, cam with stiffer springs, high compression
pistons, etc.  

XPR
combines the highest quality synthetic base oil, Royal Purple’s proprietary
Synerlec© additive technology and additional performance enhancers to create a
lubricant that maximizes horsepower and torque, while providing the highest
level of protection against heat and wear. XPR provides more protection than
conventional motor oils — mineral or synthetic — including those combined with
aftermarket additives.

XPR is
available in 0W10, 5W20, 5W30, 10W40 and 20W50 viscosities.  Royal Purple
suggests following manufacturer and / or engine builders recommendations when
selecting oil viscosity. Their technical support department is available to
provide recommendations on modified engines and can be reached at [email protected]  or

Innovative new camshaft series delivers unrivaled high performance sound and
idle quality, yet produces impressive performance gains

Let’s face it, few
things serve to grab our attention at a car show or cruise night more than a car
with a thumping, high performance idle. In fact, one of the most frequent
questions fielded when customers call our CAM HELP® tech line is “what camshaft
will give my car that mean-sounding idle?” In their ongoing quest to provide
customers with the performance that they demand, the COMP Cams® engineering team
proudly introduces the Thumpr™ series of camshafts.

The Thumpr™
camshafts are a new series of retro-fit hydraulic roller camshafts designed for
use in 1955-1998 262-400 cubic inch Small Block Chevrolet engines that were
originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts. The reason that the new Thumpr™
Camshafts have such an aggressive exhaust note is that the lobe profiles and
grind characteristics chosen by the COMP Cams® engineers produce a combination
of early exhaust valve opening, long exhaust duration, and a generous amount of
intake and exhaust overlap to maximize the rough-idling characteristics of the
cams without negatively impacting the power output or streetability of the
engine.

Thumpr™ Camshafts
are available in three different grind profiles, each one of which will produce
a rough, racy exhaust note and impressive amounts of horsepower and torque at a
different rpm range. Their cutting-edge hydraulic roller design means that they
will deliver a substantial power increase over an identical hydraulic flat
tappet grind without sacrificing reliability or ease of maintenance. So look no
further than the  Thumpr™ line of camshafts -engineered to deliver that much
sought-after ”thumping” idle quality to Small Block Chevy owners everywhere. For
more information about the COMP Cams® Thumpr™ Small Block Chevrolet Retro-Fit
Hydraulic Roller Camshafts or any other COMP Cams® product, call us at

Lakewood’s new Aluminum
Spacers install  under all snubbers for every make of snubber-style traction
bars.

These spacers were designed to install under the snubbers, and
raise the height of the contact point up closer for faster set up and
improved traction response time. They install tightly against the leaf spring to
greatly improve traction, in addition to improving the useful
life of your
snubbers by spreading out the weight transfer to avoid snubber cracking and
splitting from hard launches.

These Aluminum Snubbers can also be used to
pre-load the suspension, and will fit all traction bars from any company that
uses bolt-on snubbers with a 3/8” mounting stud on the end of the traction bar.

Want to hop up a Hemi? Then plug in Hypertech's new HyperPAC
Performance Automotive Computer. Hemi owners can experience a new level of
performance with the introduction of two new HyperPAC part numbers –  #85004 for 2006 Dodge Ram trucks and #85007
for 2005-06 Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep models equipped with 5.7-liter Hemi
engines. That includes the Magnum RT, Charger RT, 300C, Durango, Grand Cherokee and Jeep Commander.

Hypertech's exclusive Power Tuning calibrations add even
more muscle to this legendary motor, producing gains of up to 16 horsepower and
16 ft./lbs. of torque over stock tuning. But Hypertech's engineering team
didn't overlook fuel economy: HyperPACs for Hemi-powered vehicles incorporate
Hypertech’s innovative "Duel Fuel" technology that delivers virtually
the same power gains with regular gas as with premium, providing significant
savings at the gas pump.

The powerful HyperPAC Performance Automotive Computer also
allows Hemi owners to reprogram their vehicle’s onboard computer simply by
touching the screen. The top speed limiter can be raised to match the speed
rating of factory-approved high-performance tires. The Power Programmer also
reads and clears Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) stored in the computer without
expensive diagnostic computers or scan tools.

The HyperPAC also has advanced data acquisition and software
programs that allow Hemi owners to test and verify performance accessories. For
example, the Dynamometer feature generates accurate drive-wheel horsepower and
torque graphs under real-world conditions and corrects the data to standard
conditions. The Drag Strip function records acceleration data (elapsed times
and speeds) during a test run and presents it in a choice of user-friendly
formats. The Gauges function displays almost any engine operating parameter in
analog or digital format. The Diagnostics feature displays Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) recorded by the onboard computer with informative text
descriptions, eliminating the need to look up code numbers to determine
problems. It also clears DTCs after the problem is resolved.

The HyperPAC Performance Automotive Computer can be
installed in minutes – without special tools or knowledge of computers. The
HyperPAC plugs into the underdash diagnostic connector; the owner answers a few
simple “Yes/No” questions, and the sophisticated software does the rest in
about the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. The HyperPAC uploads and
stores the stock tuning, which can be restored at any time. The HyperPAC is
emission legal in all 50 states and does not void the factory warranty.

So what's the perfect partner for a Hemi under the hood? A
HyperPAC on the dashboard!
