“To lead” is defined as, “to guide others in a direction, in a course of action or in an opinion”.  In many aspects of our
lives
we come across people, organizations and businesses that are
characterized by this definition.  These leaders make it possible for
new innovations, ideas and even opinions to take shape and move us all
in a forward or in some cases a different direction.  There is no
question that Pro-Filer Performance Products and Steve Schmidt
Competition Engines fit this particular description in the
high-performance racing engine world.

E85 offers many benefits to performance enthusiasts and racers with its
105-octane rating, cooler engine temperatures and cleaner emissions.
The variations from pump-to-pump for street driving are negligible, but
to the racer, even a small percentage change of ethanol can determine
the outcome of a race if nothing is done to compensate. Consistency is
especially important for bracket racers where a win can be determined
by thousandths of a second.

The Super StreetFighter™ Transmission has rapidly become one of the most popular transmissions produced by TCI® - and the news just
keeps getting better. TCI® has just made the Super StreetFighter™
available for late model (2005 to current Ford Mustangs) Ford Mustangs!

The perfect upgrade for high performance street/strip applications, the
new Mustang TCI® Super StreetFighter™ Transmission delivers excellent
performance and is built to handle up to 1200 hp. This transmission
features Alto Red Eagle Clutches, Kolene Steels and Alto Red Eagle
Bands with heat-treated band struts, as well as a higher main line
pressure to deliver supreme strength and durability. It also
incorporates an aftermarket input shaft made from M300 material (Part
#579600), an intermediate billet aluminum servo and cover (Part
#576005) and an overdrive billet aluminum servo and cover (Part
#576006). It has an even higher main line pressure for tighter clutch
application and more positive shifts for the more radical street and
race applications.

Over the past few decades motor oils have been reformulated to meet the specific needs of late model engines and the always tightening
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) restrictions on emissions. This
is great for late model engines with hydraulic roller lifters, but very
bad for anyone with an early model, flat tappet equipped engine.

Aftermarket starter from Quarter Master® provides premium alternative
to lesser quality starters, giving you optimal street/race performance & durability

Cheap starters are a dime a dozen, which is why many racers often
choose to buy one of them in hopes of saving money. What most don’t
realize is that a cheap, poorly designed starter is doomed for failure
if it tries to keep up with performance engine upgrades and heavy-duty
aftermarket components. As a result, starter failures are a common
problem among racers and street performance enthusiasts, but Quarter
Master® has developed a line of premium starters to combat this issue.

VP Racing Fuels has introduced a new traction compound system for drag
racing, which, based on recent race results, promises to set a whole
new standard for track prep. To Lane Choice 6TM, its top performing
traction compound, VP has added “LC6-Cold” and “Starting Line ResinTM,”
constituting a system for total track or touch-up applications in all
temperatures.
 
“While other traction compound manufacturers are standing pat, VP has
applied new technology to a system providing the safest, best
performing drag racing traction compound for any conditions a track can
experience,” said Steve Burns, VP’s Director of Research &
Development. “Bottom line—it performs better, it’s easier to apply and
costs less.”
 
“The worst scenario for a track is to prep for cold weather conditions
and it turns hot, or vice versa,” Burns explained. “With VP’s new
system, either situation can be easily fixed. In effect, there’s no
longer any excuse for not having a good race track—whether it’s hot or
cold, the track can always be good.”

The NHRA has approved Moser Engineering's new 8 3/4 Stamped housing for
use in the Stock Eliminator Classes. The new Moser 8 ¾” unit has all of
the strength you would expect from a Moser Engineering built rear.
Moser built the new piece using the same material and strength
engineered into our heavy duty stamped housings and also incorporated
the benefits of the 3/8” thick faceplate used in our MO875.  It
features 3” O.D. tubes made from seamless ¼” wall D.O.M steel. The
units are available with all new complete center sections and either
bare or with any spring perch location.  Plus, for anyone lucky enough
to have one, the rears are also available with all the brackets to work
with the stock suspension in a LC22R Challenger Drag Package Car.
