ATI
Performance Products' new T400 SuperCase
took center stage at their booth at PRI, after having been
awarded Best New Performance Racing Product
at this year's SEMA show. This heavy-duty 356-T6 cast aluminum
case meets SFI 4.1 specs, so you won't need to run a shield
or blanket. Accepts OEM pans and extension housings. CNC-machined
minimum-depth valve body passages result in extremely fast
transbrake releases and quicker shifts. Learn more in the
video above and on ATI'sT400
SuperCase page on their website.
Wizard
Cooling
At
the Wizard Cooling booth, owner Scott
Attig described how racers can have 13 different
fan/shroud combos per radiator. All Wizard Cooling radiators
are made in the U.S.A, and no epoxy is used in their cores.
Wizard
Cooling has over 20 years of experience in the design
and manufacture of custom, performance radiators and cooling
packages for auto enthusiasts of all kinds.
Here's
NHRA Funny Car driver and McLeod Racing owner
Paul Lee holding the company's new Line
Launch clutch-release system for drag race applications.
With
the McLeod Line Launch the racer depresses the clutch
pedal to the desired position for release and then by
activating a switch locks the clutch in place. Simply
let the switch go to release the clutch and launch the
car for a quicker reaction time.
For
cars equipped with an existing roll control device, McLeod’s
new Two Stage Button is available. Using their Two Stage
Button in conjunction with the Line Launch and the existing
roll control device, the racer can release both the brake
and clutch at the same time. Says
Paul, "Products like the Line Launch give McLeod
drag racing stick shift customers the competitive edge
they need at the track.“

Proform
Parts
Booth
Platt of Proform Parts is proudly
displaying their innovative new wedge-locking header bolts.
According to Proform's website, "Each PROFORM®
Grade 8 Header Bolt is permanently assembled with a pair
of special washers. When the bolt is torqued to 28+ ft-lbs,
the washers’ super-hardened external teeth bite into
and grip the bottom of the bolt head and the top surface
of the header." Learn more about these and other Proform
parts at www.proformparts.com
BRODIX
BRODIX
introduced their new BP SR 20 cylinder head at PRI. The
SR 20 is at the cutting edge of conventional big block
Chevy compatible technology.
The
SR 20 utilizes a .500” raised 440 cc intake port
with a 2.400 intake valve; this head flows 507 cfm. The
exhaust port flows 335 cfm through only a 1.800 valve.
To allow for the newly designed 95 cc combustion chamber,
the intake valve angle of this head has been rolled to
20 degrees. This
head requires pistons, valve covers, head studs, shaft
rockers, and an intake manifold designed specifically
for the SR 20.
Shown
here is COMP Cams' Chris Douglas with their
award-winning new 4-Pattern Camshaft. Winner
of "Best New Street Performance Product" at SEMA,
the all new COMP® 4-Pattern Camshafts are designed to
optimize valve events based on runner length and feature
a large increase in area under the curve and stability at
high RPM.
4-Pattern
Cams can net you 1000+ RPM over other hydraulic rollers
and anywhere from 5-20+ horsepower peak to peak, depending
on cylinder head flow. 4-Pattern Cams feature four different
lobe patterns, with one intake and exhaust design for outboard
runners, and another intake and exhaust design for the inboard
runners.
While
the four inboard cylinders are all the same grinds, the
outboard exhaust openings are two degrees earlier, with
outboard intake closings coming two degrees later. For more
