Torque Boost

Dynatech Headers’ new Torque Boosters are a great solution when you need added torque on restarts. The Boosters work especially well between 2,500-4,200 rpm. Usually when you pick up low end torque, it’s at the expense of high-end horsepower. According to the manufacturer, the Torque Booster defies this rule and provides substantial increases in low- to mid-range torque with no affect on high-end horsepower numbers. Although beneficial on almost any engine, they work exceptionally well on 604 crate engine applications where added low- and mid-range torque gains are needed.

The engineered construction features 5086 black anodized aluminum spokes riveted to an inner steel channel with molded polyurethane grip. Perforated, ergonomically shaped handgrips help reduce driver fatigue, while the deep-dished spoke design increases strength and rigidity. The handgrip is finished with the finest, most supple Italian  leather available, which is then baseball stitched by artisans. The horn buttons are sold separately and feature GT Performance Products Sure Lock O-ring design that ensures they won’t pop-off.

Flex Plates

QuickTime has launched its all-new modular flex plate (patent pending) for a wide variety of engines, including small- and big-block Chevrolet and Ford. Each application is designed to handle the stresses of high-horsepower, high- rpm engines. Engineered for unsurpassed strength, accuracy and performance, the modular flex plate brings an age-old product into the 21st century. QuickTime takes a whole new approach to flex plates by using a laser-cut 4130 chrome-moly steel center section that is joined to 4130 chrome-moly steel ring gear segments using (18) separate 4130 pins, which are pressed as well as laser welded. The result is lighter than and twice as strong as OE-style flex plates.
