The annual SEMA show offers hundreds of thousands of products for your car, truck, ATV and anything else with wheels. Even if you only look at the new products being shown for the first time, there are thousands to choose from.
We sent our eagle-eyed staff around the show to bring back the best products for Maximum Drive readers, and we think you’ll agree there’s some attractive and exciting stuff at this year’s show.
Spectre has developed a new Cold Air Intake for the 2014 Chevy SS V-8. This unit will improve intake airflow without affecting mixture. Best of all, this intake also fits the legendary 2008–2009 Pontiac G8.
Designed for Ford Coyote 5.0 Mustangs, this bolt-together unit with lockup control technology seamlessly applies the clutch even under WOT. A CNC-machined billet front for reliable lockup with no deflection, triple-disc clutch with woven carbon frictions and 50-spline lockup clutch hub are capable of withstanding the most punishing applications.
Baer’s Track4 system is a big brake kit for the 1969–1970 Pontiac full-size cars. This features a 4-piston caliper mounted to a 13-in. 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor.

They provide the same performance expected from modern vehicles and eliminates common fuel system issues like cavitation and vapor lock.
JRi’s Hydraulic Ride Height System is the ultimate solution for providing ride-height adjustment without sacrificing performance. The ride-height system eliminates all the deficiencies of traditional air-ride systems while retaining the performance benefits of coilover shocks. No noisy compressor, leaking seals or changes due to elevation.
This brake kit comes standard with drilled and slotted 11.7-in. rotors, black or red powder-coated calipers and braided-stainless flex hoses. High-end looks and performance at a reasonable price. It requires 16-in. wheels or larger.
The Speedmaster low-profile design and high-flow runner intake manifold accommodates two 4-barrel carburetors. This achieves the best balance of driveability, great looks, and outstanding performance for muscle car, street rod and marine applications. This product can be turned into a blower manifold with the optional blower plate.
The LS Gauge Controller simply plugs into your car’s OBDII port and converts OEM LS-engine sensor data into five different output signals for aftermarket gauges including vehicle speed, rpm, coolant temperature, oil pressure and fuel level. This eases installation time, wiring and sensor duplication.
EPAS Performance has developed an electric power-steering unit to save your engine power from being siphoned off in order to run your power steering. It’s available for a variety of vehicles.
This Hurst axle-back system uses laminar flow technology and mandrel bends to smooth exhaust flow. It adds great sound and performance. It fits 2010–2015 Camaro SS 6.2L.
The Eibach PRO-STREET-S is designed, tuned and tested 100 percent in-house by Eibach’s suspension engineers and ride control experts. Spring rates are perfectly matched to the performance damping of the high-tech coilover shocks. Experience a more precise turn-in response, improved handling and enhanced cornering grip in any performance driving situation.

A perfect look for your classic or modern automobile. The new 350-mm MOMO Indy steering wheel is finished in beautiful mahogany wood and accented with brushed aluminum spokes. Take note, limited quantities are available.
CON2R offers this classic “nine string” beauty that pays homage to some of the classiest steering wheels of the 1930s and 1940s. With three spokes set in a wide “Y” pattern, this wheel is an accurate reflection of the original banjo wheels. Up-to-date features include the chrome-plated steel frame and 15-in. diameter ABS rims with finger-grooved grips that are available in any combination of CON2R’s 15 standard colors.
Gorilla Automotive X2 Wheel Locks are the latest in wheel security. Patented dual-stage technology features a free-spinning first stage, which protects the second stage from removal tools and uses a uniquely patterned key for installation and removal.
Why not get your aftermarket straight from the OEM? The Z/28-based suspension package was designed for optimal track performance and includes Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) dampers, matched with optimized stiff spring rates and stabilizer bars, front ride and handling links, rear upper control arms, rear trailing links, and toe links with upgraded stiffer bushings.
