Step Up In Performance With EDELBROCK’S New Victor Jr. LS1 Intake Manifold for Carbureted Applications

(1-12-2005) - Building on the success of its Performer RPM LS1 intake, Edelbrock's new Victor Jr. LS1 intake is the next step up in performance for the GEN III long-block.

The Victor Jr. LS1 intake (#2908) offers an operating range of 3,500-7,500 rpm, and the high-rise single-plane intake is capable of supporting up to 600 hp, making it the right set up for big horsepower GEN III engines.

The Victor Jr. LS1 accepts an Edelbrock Performer, Thunder Series AVS carb or any similar square-bore carburetor and comes with an MSD electronic timing module that picks up MAP, crank position, and cam position in order to drive the stock coil-on-plug ignition system. This module also offers a choice of several built-in timing curves, each tailored for engine displacement, cam profiles, and fuel grades.

Each manifold also comes with a throttle bracket designed to work with 700R-4, 200R-4 and Turbo 350 transmissions. Most applications will require hood modification.

CORSA PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCES NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR CHEVROLET CORVETTE C6

(1-1-2005) - Pleasing Corvette enthusiasts has been both a passion and a principle for CORSA Performance, and the company's newest exhaust system, specifically crafted for the 2005 C6, will certainly not disappoint.

"As the Corvette continues to evolve, so too does the design and manufacture of our world standard-setting exhaust systems," said Jim Browning, Sr., president. "We are the only manufacturer in the industry with a C6 exhaust that provides increased horsepower and torque, without the cabin resonance and drone usually associated with these performance enhancements."

The high-performance, cat-back Corvette C6 exhaust features CORSA's patented Reflective Sound Cancellation (RSC) technology, allowing for a full-bodied performance sound at idle and during acceleration, and whisper-quiet cruising at highway speeds. This leading-edge technology creates a "tuned" performance sound without the use of baffles or steel wool packing materials.

And, CORSA's newest exhaust system boosts the C6's already impressive performance. Because of the straight-through, nonrestrictive muffler design, the vehicle can produce a 64% gain in exhaust flow when compared to the original equipment system, in addition to increased horsepower and torque.

Hand-built from 2.5-inch 304 stainless steel, the CORSA exhaust system for the Corvette C6 is available in two editions: the RSC Touring, which produces a full and robust, yet refined sound; or the RSC Sport, engineered for a crisp and clean, slightly more aggressive exotic car sound. Both eliminate interior cabin resonance and are available with a choice of handcrafted 4.0" Pro-Series, or Twin 3.5" Pro-Series tips. Each tip is made from high quality 304L stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish.

"When CORSA Performance opened its doors in 1997, Corvette was our first and flagship product. We've built an extremely loyal Corvette customer base since then - enthusiasts that acknowledge our dedication toward serving them with innovative, first-to-market products. This newest system is testament to our continuing that focus," said Browning.

Featuring a limited lifetime warranty, the new CORSA Corvette C6 exhaust system is 50-state emissions legal and does not void the new vehicle warranty. The RSC Touring system complies with the Calif., Maine and Wash. 95-decibel limit when tested in accordance with SAE test procedure J1169, and is the only Corvette C6 exhaust system to hold the prestigious distinction of being licensed by General Motors. The RSC Sport system is for off-road or on-track use only in states mandating 95dbA compliance.

No welding or cutting is required for the bolt-on system and complete installation hardware and an illustrated installation guide are included.

The Corvette C6 exhaust system can be purchased direct from CORSA Performance or at Chevrolet new car dealerships, and select retailers/distributors nationwide.

Focusing on the development of proprietary technology, CORSA Performance employs patented Reflective Sound Cancellation technology in its performance automotive exhaust systems. CORSA's 100% stainless steel cat-back exhausts are specifically tuned to each vehicle to eliminate passenger cabin resonance and to produce just the right sound. CORSA offers performance exhaust systems and accessories for cars, trucks and SUVs.

New Idle-Eze™ An Idle-Speed Tuning System

(12-6-2004) - Barry Grant, Inc. announces a new patent-pending Idle-Eze™ baseplate; a new means of fine-tuning the idle speed that will be offered as part of Demon Carburetion’s Speed Demon and Mighty Demon carburetors.

The Idle-Eze™ idle-speed tuning system uses a beveled screw, which acts on a cross-drilled seat in the baseplate to precisely meter additional air into the intake plenum. This has the effect of precisely establishing the idle speed after the throttle shaft position has been set in relation to the transfer slot in the idle-speed circuit. The Idle-Eze valve is located in a threaded hole in the middle of the baseplate and is easily accessed with a screwdriver through the air cleaner stud hole. The top and bottom of the baseplate, above the throttle plates, is milled with four channels out to each throttle bore to match the holes in the valve assembly. A spring maintains tension on the screw portion of the beveled seat valve.
Idle-Eze™ benefits:

• Precisely meters additional air into the intake
• Establishes the idle speed after the throttle shaft position has been set
• Ideal if the cam may be slightly larger than the ideal for the carburetor
• Allows smoother transition from off idle, avoids potential for stumble

THE “SOUND OF PERFORMANCE” IS HEARD FROM EDELBROCK’S NEW PATENT-PENDING “SDT”™ CHAMBERED MUFFLERS

(11-26-2004) - Edelbrock has never sounded better. The performance leader introduced a new line of chambered mufflers for its gasoline engine exhaust systems at the recent SEMA Show, and showgoers got to hear the sounds of four different types of applications.

This all-aluminized steel muffler design features Edelbrock’s unique, patent-pending “sound deflection technology” (“SDT”) and baffled design with no filler material to deteriorate. The result is a muffler with a refined, muscular sound.

The new mufflers retain a shape similar to previous models, while delivering maximum flow and outstanding power with a great performance sound.

The new muffler will be used on Edelbrock’s exhaust systems for Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and GM vehicles, matched with Edelbrock’s mandrel-bent tubing and exhaust tips.

Edge Goes Gas: Evolution Programmer Released For Ford Triton V-8 Trucks

(11-25-2004) - Edge Products, an industry leader in diesel performance technology, enters the gas tuning segment with a new Evolution hand-held programmer for late-model Ford trucks. This next-generation programmer adds power but also dramatically improves drivability and durability by fine-tuning transmission shifting.

As with Edge's 7.3L Power Stroke programmer, the gas Evolution offers three tuning options. Level 1 (Transmission Only) retains factory engine power and reprograms the PCM to provide firmer shifts, helping to increase transmission life. Moving up, Level 2 (Tow Performance) includes the optimized transmission shifting and also modifies the ignition timing and fuel delivery to improve overall performance. Speed and rev limiter adjustments help sharpen throttle response. Level 3 (High Performance) aggressively tunes fueling and ignition timing for 91-octane gas to add up to 12% more HP and 15% more torque -- approximately 16 HP and 25 lb-ft on the average 1997-2003 5.4L V-8.

In the process, the transmission is reprogrammed to take advantage of the increased engine performance by providing quicker, firmer shifts. Further, Edge's testing revealed a 1-3 mpg improvement in fuel economy under certain driving conditions.

The Evolution also offers diagnostic and performance-capturing capabilities. Its backlit LED display can read, describe and clear Check Engine trouble codes. To document performance improvements, the Evolution will capture and display both 0-60 mph and 1/4-mile times. For owners of lifted or lowered trucks, the Evolution adjusts for non-stock tire sizes and gear ratios (on trucks equipped with digital odometers). Evolution installation takes about 10 minutes and doesn’t require any tools -- simply connect the programmer to the OBD-II diagnostic port underneath the dash. Applications are currently available for 1997-2003 Ford Triton V-8-powered trucks.

Edge Products also manufactures plug-in modules, programmers, and in-cab controllers for popular late-model domestic diesel trucks, vans and motorhomes.
