- “The secret’s out, and this is what propelled us,”
said Tommy Bolton, builder and tuner of the world’s quickest and
fastest gasoline powered motorcycle after his screamin’ yellow Kawasaki
Funnybike laid down a pass of 6.60 at 213 mph in the hands of Glen Nickelberry.
The liquid
force nozzle has a much more port-shaped pattern that does not allow the
fuel to wash down the port walls like it does with a fan-spray type nozzle.
The Speedtech nozzle helps promote engine airflow rather than disrupt
it. “It is very hard in a 90 degree nozzle to achieve a low pressure
fuel draw that is predictable and consistent from nozzle to nozzle,”
said Jason Sharp of Speedtech. “Our design provides this action
in a repeatable fashion, with the v-notch in the fuel circuit to relieve
any buildup of nitrous pressure at the tip of the fuel passage.

Dodge Cummins 600 Rams Get 150 More Lb-Ft Of Torque From Edge Products
EZ Module
 |
(10-13-2004) - Dodge leap-frogs ahead of the diesel competition with the new Cummins 600 engine available in 2004.5-model 2500 and 3500 Ram Heavy Duty pickups. This engine produces a class-leading 600 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm while cranking out a peak 325 horsepower at 2,900 rpm. Edge Products, an industry leader in diesel performance technology, announces its new EZ plug-in engine module that increases Cummins 600 performance by 65 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels.
Edge technology recalibrates signals between the truck's PCM and its Cummins 600 engine. Fueling and turbo boost are enhanced to create the power gains. The EZ module offers three different power modes for the driver to select among from in the cab, on the fly. Level 1 increases power by 25 HP/50 lb-ft of torque for better towing performance. For daily driving, Level 2 boosts stock output by 45 HP/75 lb-ft at the rear wheels. Level 3 is for all-out performance and increases power by 65 HP/150 lb-ft. Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) rises with each power level, so aftermarket gauges – pyrometer and turbo boost – are recommended when installing the Edge Cummins 600 EZ. Installation takes about 5 minutes: two underhood plugs and routing a toggle switch into the cab. The sealed, weather-resistant EZ module secures to the fuse-box cover, and factory-style connectors permit the module to be plugged into the MAP sensor harness and fuel-pressure sensor connector.
Real-world improvements include increased hill-climbing speed when towing loads up grades. Fuel economy often improves by up to 10% in the process because the truck's fueling curves are more efficient.
Edge Products also manufactures a full line of plug-in modules, programmers, and in-cab controllers for all popular late-model domestic diesel trucks, vans and motorhomes. For more information, please contact Edge Products Inc., 1080 S. Depot Dr., Ogden, UT 84404, 888/360-3343, 801/476-3343, fax 801/476-3348, www.edgeproducts.com.

NEW WARRANTY ADDS VALUE TO EDELBROCK'S NEW THUNDER SERIES AVS CARBURETORS; One-year Protection Covers Needed Repair or Replacement
(9-22-2004) - Edelbrock performance parts take good care of your engine. And Edelbrock takes good care of its customers, with a warranty program for its Thunder Series AVS? carburetors that's among the best warranties in the business.
"Our customers come to Edelbrock to get the best performance, and this is a warranty that will perform for them," says Edelbrock President and CEO Vic Edelbrock Jr. "We'll match our products with anyone in the industry for performance and quality, and this warranty stands behind our high-quality AVS carburetors."
Edelbrock's warranty for Thunder Series AVS? carburetors is valid for one year from the original purchase date, as long as the carb was installed properly and not used for race/competition purposes. The warranty covers repair or replacement of the product.
Under this warranty, the original purchaser of the product should return it to the place of purchase or ship it prepaid to Edelbrock Corporate headquarters, where it will be repaired or replaced before being returned to the consumer.
Edelbrock's Thunder Series AVS Carbs, developed by Edelbrock engineers, feature all of the same traits that make the Edelbrock Performer Series carburetors so dependable. Features like easily changeable metering rods and step-up springs, and no gaskets below the fuel line to prevent harmful leakage are part of every Thunder Series AVS carburetor.
The Thunder Series AVS (AVS stands for adjustable valve secondary) carburetors are available for either manual choke or electric choke vehicles, and come in 650 cfm (#1805 manual choke/#1806 electric choke), 800 cfm (#1812 manual choke/#1813 electric choke), and 650 cfm for off-road applications (#1825 manual choke/#1826 electric choke).
The Thunder Series AVS Carburetors bolt on to most Chevrolets, and adapters are available for Ford, Chrysler and AMC vehicles. For 4x4 owners, Thunder Series AVS off-road carbs come with spring-loaded needles and seats for better performance in rough, uneven terrain.
Distinctive black accented hardware and a lightweight ball-burnished aluminum, CNC-profiled front face give the Thunder Series AVS Carburetor a good look, too.
The new line also comes with an option for dual fuel inlets, providing total flexibility in fuel system plumbing. Edelbrock has developed a dual feed fuel line (#8128, #8132 or #8133) specifically for the new Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS carburetor.

Second Strike?…. Not just another ignition box!
 |
(9-15-2004) - Second Strike is the only ignition system to provide a powerful second spark throughout the entire RPM range, unlike other multiple spark discharge systems, which typically drop off to one spark at about 3000 RPM. This micro controller based ignition supplements most inductive type systems (points, GM HEI, Ford TFI and Duraspark, Ignitor and Ignitor II) with a powerful capacitive discharge second spark resulting in more complete combustion of the fuel/air mixture. Increased burn time at very high RPM levels also reduces misfires resulting in more peak horsepower and torque. No special distributor or coil is required. A simple five-wire hookup to your existing system completes the installation.
Second Strike’s unique crank angle offset (CAO) feature permits you to time the second spark in crank angle degrees to occur after the primary spark with a simple external adjustment dial. A wide range of adjustment (2 to 18?) allows you to experiment with the CAO that works best for your engine’s performance or your driving profile. The CAO feature can be operated while the engine is running to assist experimentation for optimum settings.
A digital rev limiter protects the engine from possible overrev condition. Their system combines both random and a sequential pattern of spark stealing to control RPM. Pertronix claims the benefit of random spark stealing is quicker response time to an over rev limit event while sequential stealing is less invasive to the engine because sparks are not completely dropped allowing the engine to ignite any unburned fuel to keep the cylinders clean and avoid damaging exhaust detonation. Second Strike comes standard with an output compatible with most modern tachometers requiring no interface adapters.
