This special ignition control features the first style logo that was used on the original MSD 2 ignition (a stamped housing and anodized in gold). These were our first multiple sparking, capacitive discharge ignition controls that were just getting started in the performance and racing market. It wasn’t long before racers such as Bob Glidden gave them a shot on the track and kicked off MSD’s climb to the number one ignition manufacturer! A few years later, the ignition was updated with the red cast aluminum housing that we’re all familiar with. This is where the 6A, 6AL and the entire 6-Series line sprouted from.

The Anniversary Ignition Control features the same proven components and power of the 6AL Ignition along with the engine saving Soft Touch rev control. There are only 4,000 of these ignitions being built and when they’re gone, they are gone! Each unit is serialized and is supplied with a classic MSD decal, free t-shirt offer and best of all, a limited lifetime warranty!

The 40th Ignition Control can be used on 4, 6 or 8-cylinder ignitions and connects to most distributors. Vibration mounts and 3,000, 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 rpm modules are supplied.

Flatout Gaskets is pleased to announce the release of their much anticipated new intake gasket technology, “All Season Intake Gaskets”.

Flatout has developed a reusable, molded, fluro-elastomer rubber/steel carrier gasket for performance and racing engines. The first engine chosen for the line-up is the big block Chevrolet. The design fits a majority of the aftermarket heads available in the marketplace today.

The design of this advanced product consists of injection molded FKM (Viton®) on a thin steel carrier. Aluminum compression limiters are installed at the bolt holes.  Dual, proud, rubber beads encapsulate both the intake and coolant ports to insure a bullet proof seal without the use of additional sealers. The product is so robust that it can be reused multiple times.

Roush Yates Engines has unveiled new, two-piece valve covers for the Yates D3 cylinder heads. Designed with a lower profile and produced from billet aluminum, these new assemblies, comprising a base and a cover, have several interesting advantages.
 
First the two-piece design allows valve adjustments to be made without oil spill, as the covers can be removed while the bases remain attached to the heads. A flat gasket is used to seal the base to the cylinder head; a 0.135-inch O-ring is used to seal the valve cover to its base. Eight studs, which are common to both valve cover and base, are used to attach both items to the cylinder head. Each stud is equipped with double nuts.
   
Because valve springs can become perilously hot, these valve cover bases are equipped with tiny ports from which pressurized oil is sprayed onto the valve springs and valve train to aid cooling. The tiny ports are linked to a long, gun-drilled oil galley terminating in NPT threaded ends, which accept AN fittings. A 37-degree AN-4 flared fitting is installed in the front port; an AN-4 plug in the rear.
   
To monitor engine vacuum conveniently, threaded ports are offered as an option. These can be added to each end of the valve covers, allowing the driver to monitor engine condition from the cockpit.
   
Both base and cover are available in several anodized colors: black, gold, red, blue, or clear. And last but not least, these valve covers are available with the Roush Yates logo or in a plain finish without a logo or with a laser-engraved logo of your choice.  The kits are complete and available for $600 per set.

Lunati hits the tarmac in 2010 with a comprehensive line of 25 new Gen-III and IV LS1 Voodoo camshafts that are guaranteed “to meet or exceed all your lift needs.”
   
New Voodoo weaves several levels of engine evil as Lunati provides specific timing for the following combinations: LS3/L92, LS3/L92 High-Lift, LS1 High-Lift, LS1 with carburetor, LS1 Nitrous Oxide/Supercharger, LS1 Turbo, LS1 with L92 heads, and LS1/L92 High-lift. Camshaft values range from durations of 212/223 to 255/263 degrees (at 0.050-inch), lifts from 0.550 to 0.651-inch, and lobe separation angles from 112 to 116 degrees.
   
“We’ve generated more area under the lift curve and worked on improving valve acceleration rates. With our latest software we’ve been able to design lobes with quicker acceleration, resulting in faster valve openings and softer landings on the valve seats. This advantage is achieved partly by asymmetrical lobes [one side of the ramp is gently concaved],” said Lunati’s Jeff Sams. ”We would call them an aggressive roller profile, thus expanding our line of Voodoos.”
   
With the advent of emissions laws and the widespread use of computer systems, cam makers have developed modern single and dual profile pattern designs. A dual pattern camshaft is ground to enhance the duration of either the intake or exhaust lobe. For example, if an engine is restricted on the exhaust side as compared to the intake side, the camshaft designer would compensate by grinding in more lift and/or duration on the exhaust lobe, and vise-versa.
 
“To fit the application, we have a new line of link-bar lifters as well for better control and higher lobe lift than is possible with the OE plastic retainers, although some of the milder grinds can still take advantage of the OE retainer. When you add more lobe lift, the lifter travel in these engines becomes an issue, “noted Sams. “Further, these camshafts are rifle-drilled to eliminate power-robbing weight.”
 
 All OE LS applications are fitted with single valve springs that ultimately limit lift. The new Lunati dual valve spring kit (PN 73925K1LUN) enables a maximum lift capability beyond 0.600-inch. The kit is the perfect complement to the new and robust roster of LS Voodoo camshafts and is complete with dual valve springs, spring locators and steel retainers (both made from 4140 chrome molybdenum steel), locks and valve seals and represents a drop-in installation for many popular LS applications. These new Voodoo camshafts are in stock and ready to ship.

Diamond Pistons has introduced a unique service “one piston, no problem.”
   
Suppose one or more of your pistons suffer from a faulty tune-up. Unless you have Diamond pistons in your motor, in most cases, you will have to replace half a set or perhaps a full set of pistons at a premium price. Diamond eliminates this practice by furnishing one or more pistons as single items at a most reasonable one-off price, be they off-the-shelf, custom-built, or prototype for a first-time design.
   
Diamond’s pistons are made of 4032 alloy for mild applications or 2618 alloy to withstand the presence of high-compression, particularly power-adders: supercharged and turbocharged applications, or those consuming nitrous oxide. Products include those for Ford, GM, and Mopar power plants.

Custom pistons ship in 2-3 weeks (at time of writing delivery is two weeks and under).

The K&N High-Flow Intake System for the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L V8, (part no. 69-4519TP), increases horsepower by 18.12 hp at 5200 rpm over the stock configuration. To achieve more horsepower, K&N replaces the Camaro’s original intake assembly; including the air box, air filter and intake tube with an all-new intake design. The new system draws air through a K&N High-Flow Air Filter that increases airflow and never needs to be replaced. Protecting the chrome top cone-shaped air filter, and isolating it from engine heat, is a powder coated heat shield that replaces the stock air box. As it passes the filter, air travels through a larger diameter K&N mandrel bent aluminum tube that is formed and shaped, in the design phase, to drive a more laminar flow of air to the Camaro’s engine.    

The 69-4519TP is available where quality performance is sold and is backed by the same K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty® as all K&N OE Replacement Air Filters.

VP Racing Fuels, Inc., the industry leader in the manufacture of racing fuels and performance products, announced the introduction of VP100TM, a street legal unleaded performance fuel. VP100 is specifically engineered for high-performance street cars, exotics, sport compacts, muscle cars, street rods and vehicles requiring premium fuels in excess of 91 octane. “With additional media and television focusing on enthusiasts driving their high performance street cars, VP recognizes the importance of having unleaded fuels available to meet the needs of these niche markets,” said John Sonnefeldt, VP’s Director of Sales & Marketing for Street Fuels.
 
Well-suited for high-performance street cars, VP100 is oxygenated with ethanol. Environmentally friendly, it meets California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements and is street legal throughout the U.S. At 100 octane (R+M/2), it generates substantial power increases over pump gas. A test with a turbocharged application proved VP100 will generate up to 14% more power than premium grade 91 octane unleaded gasoline.
 
VP100 is safe for use in cast-iron head engines with compression ratios up to 13:1 and aluminum heads up to 14:1 and reduces the fear of detonation in power enhanced vehicles. “VP100 contains no metal compounds and will not harm catalytic converters or oxygen sensors,” Sonnefeldt added. “Designed to enhance performance in the latest generations of turbo- and supercharged engines, VP100 will deliver consistent performance every time you fill up at the pump.”
 
“In areas where premium fuels such as 93 octane are unavailable, VP100 is the perfect solution,” Sonnefeldt continued. “Over 200 cars currently in production suggest premium fuel for optimum performance. Blending VP100 with your local premium fuel can give you the desired octane number to meet the maximum performance standards of your vehicle.”
 
For customers with technical questions about VP100, a tech support line has been established at 812-878-2025. Questions may also be emailed to StreetLegalTech@vpracingfuels.com.
 
VP100 is becoming more readily available at the pump nationwide. All VP fuels are available in 5, 15, 30 and 54-gallon containers at locations worldwide where racing fuel is sold. To purchase VP100, contact your local dealer or to find a location near you, contact the appropriate VP Regional Distribution Center, each of which is listed at vpracingfuels.com.
               
In addition to fuels, VP’s product line includes specialty lubricants, performance chemicals and traction adhesives – each designed to produce the most power and best performance in their respective racing applications.

More information can be obtained from VP’s website – vpracingfuels.com.

Andy McCoy Race Cars (AMRC), specializing in the fabrication of high-performance Pro Mod and Top Sportsman drag racing components from chassis to competition-ready vehicles, has added to its lineup with a complete composite shop and the first order of business for the new division is to make AMRC’s proprietary 1970 Plymouth Duster body available.

“This is the next step in the evolution of our race shop,” Andy McCoy said. “We no longer just specialize in chassis building. We are continuing to add to our business with the aim of ultimately producing everything a serious racer would need from bumper to bumper.”

AMRC generated a buzz in the drag racing community with the debut last year of their patented Duster body and the team is currently putting the finishing touches on the fifth car they have built from the ground up with that design. The popularity of that car has led to the opening of the composite shop.

“So many people have come to us with an interest in that body style but were not in need of a complete car,” McCoy said. “We’re happy we will be able to start meeting the demand from those who already have a good chassis and want to complement it with a sleek body.”

The Duster body is in the process of being approved for the Australian market and AMRC products are currently available in Europe though a partnership with Henrik Pedersen’s All-In Racecars.

The carbon fiber body weighs 58 pounds and retails for $11,500, while the fiberglass version weighs in at 100 pounds and sells for $7,500. The current lead time for manufacture of a body is four weeks. AMRC also offers other carbon components for the body, including a pro stock style wing, floor boards, wheel extensions and a trunk kit. The composite shop also manufactures carbon seats, window NACA Ducts and much more.

More information is available at www.andymccoyracecars.com, where the new components will be added to the parts listing by the first of the New Year.

Because pushrod lengths are not generally known until an engine build is almost complete, they are often the last components ordered—and often they are the components most urgently needed.
   
Now, Trend is introducing a new quick-ship program called QSP that aims to dispatch orders of custom pushrods within twenty-four hours. The service offers much convenience, providing any combination of machined tips or tapers on Trend’s range of pushrods.
   
Just select your pushrod length (6.000 inches to 12.000 inches); select the diameter (3/8, 7/16, ½, or 9/16 inch and wall thickness); select your end taper (standard 5/8 inch or 1-5/8 inch); select your overall taper (single taper or double taper); select a ball end or a radius cup end and you’ll probably have those Trend pushrods within 48 hours.
   
Trend’s Quick Tip on their heat treatment process: Trend brings their pushrods up to temperature then quenches them and then tempers them.  The duration of the heat treatment determines the amount of case depth. The quench, which can vary from room temperature to -100 degrees, determines the retained austenite or material properties in the components. To increase the hardness a cryogenics procedure is also applied during the quenching process. This operation can freeze the pushrods to as low as 300 degrees. Finally the pushrods are tempered and returned to the desired hardness.
