    Equalized Cooling

    I found this interesting: This is a Mopar race block, notice the lines from the heads at the front and rear all gather under the thermostat. So with this arrangement the coolant that hits the rear part of the cylinder heads doesn't have to travel all the way to the front part of the head to...

    Ridetech Front Sway Bar

    Do not waste your money as the bar will rub the inside of your wheels. I have 18 x 8 wheels, 4.5" BS and ATS spindles, this sway bar rubbed the inside of my wheels. I pulled it off and installed a UNI front sway bar and the problem is fixed, UMI actually did some engineering on their bar.

    Stage 2 TT street car

    Dodge 170

    Wow, is Dodge the coolest company or what? They made the best muscle cars of the 60s and early 70's and now they have built the most wicked muscle car in the world. I just can't believe a car company offers an 8 sec. car to the public. Its waaay out of my price range and they are probably all...

    Motec/Holley

    Just my opinion, fine if you disagree, I am with this guy: I could see my tuner's face drop when I told him I had a FAST XFI, he very much prefers the Holley unit, much simpler/user friendly to use. Mike

    Stage II Brutally Fast IMSA Race Car

    Who doesn't love the sound and power of the 800hp screaming Buick V6 stage II? Turn the volume to 11 and strap in: If Buick only would have keep with it on their V6 racing program, they just gave up at a time when they were cresting the learning curve. Mike
