TRI-POWER HEAVEN

Holley has made it easy to have classic performance with its Tri-Power intake manifold and carburetor systems for small-block Chevy engines.

The world-famous Holley Tri-Power Carburetor System is legendary in Chevrolet circles. It was factory equipment under the hood of the iconic big-block L71 and L89 Corvettes. Holley has brought that look and performance to your small-block Chevy. With the Tri-Power system, you can cruise around economically on the 350-cfm center carburetor or unleash all 1,000 cfm at wide-open throttle to truly have the best of both worlds. Systems include a dual plane, medium rise 3×2 Weiand intake manifold, three Holley 2bbl carburetors (one 350-cfm center carburetor with electric choke and two 325-cfm outboard carburetors) in either a dichromate or shiny finish, high quality steel fuel lines, progressive throttle linkage and reusable air filters with polished housings.

ATHLETIC SHOES             

Mickey Thompson’s ultra-high performance Street Comp tires are now available in a popular wide 305/35R20 rear size. First introduced as original equipment on the 2012-13 Camaro ZL1, Mickey Thompson promotes the 305/35R20 as the perfect fitment for new model Mustang and Camaro, and it’s a great choice for other vehicle owners who prefer staggered rear appearance with superior performance.

“The Street Comp is the ultimate UHP street tire,” stated Ken Warner, VP of marketing for Mickey Thompson. “This tire combines incredible construction, exceptional compound, a wider footprint and a specially-designed tread pattern for a smooth, quiet ride and responsive handling in both dry and wet conditions. It’s also got the impressive appearance you’d expect from Mickey Thompson.”

STRANGE SHOCKS

Strange Engineering aluminum bolt-in shocks are based on the proven coil-over technology that has been used by racers for years. The lightweight aluminum construction makes tuning the suspension easy by locating the adjuster knob(s) at the bottom of the shock body. The wide range of damping allows each shock to be used in street, strip and road race applications. Each includes high quality mounting hardware to handle most applications.

Strange Engineering aluminum-bodied, bolt-in shocks are available for popular American muscle cars. Available in both single and double adjustable configurations, these shocks can also be customized to specific lengths, strokes and valve settings. Single adjustable shocks start at $150, and double adjustable shocks start at $250. Log on to Strangeengineering.net for more information.

MAXIMUM BRAID

Snow Performance now offers braided stainless hose for its Boost Cooler water/methanol-injection systems. The hose is a synthetic methanol-proof EPDM hose that is braided with stainless steel capable of withstanding as high as 1,250 psi.

The hoses are pre-cut for each application, making for easy installation that also enhances the engine compartment. “Braided tubing is the standard for fluid systems in high-performance applications,” says Matt Snow, president of Snow Performance. “In recognition of this, we have produced this hose upgrade in custom lengths for all Boost Cooler systems.”

Snow Performance claims that Boost Cooler water/methanol systems increase air density in the combustion chamber, allowing more timing and boost in power. Snow Performance has been designing and manufacturing water/methanol-injection systems for more than a decade.
