Free Up Horsepower in Your Race Engine with Lucas Racing-Only High Performance Motor Oil

Friction is one of your biggest enemies when you’re trying to extract every last fraction of horsepower out of your race engine. A very low weight engine oil can help, but at the cost of potential engine damage.

Lucas Racing-Only High Performance Motor Oil offers the friction reduction of a low-weight race oil and the protection of a heavier multi-viscosity oil. It has an exclusive additive package with lubricity agents, anti-seize agents, and very high levels of zinc (ZDDP). That means Racing-Only oil reduces drag and oil cavitation to free up some horsepower; protects critical engine parts like flat tappet lifters and camshafts; and stands up to higher oil temperatures for longer oil life and less metal fatigue.

Auto Dolly Car Dollies Are the Better Way to Move Your Projects Around

Project vehicles are a pain to move, especially on your back and legs. Avoid the agony and slide a set of Auto Dolly Car Dollies under them instead. The dollies fit under each tire and have smooth-rolling, non-marring caster wheels that make it easy to maneuver a car in the garage or on any smooth surface.

Auto Dolly Car Dollies are available in three versions:

Get Better Stopping Power for Your Classic Full Size Ford Car with a LEED Brakes Disc Brake Conversion Kit

Ford didn’t install front disc brakes as standard equipment on its 1957-68 full size passenger cars. That was probably OK back then, but the factory drum brakes won’t cut it on today’s crowded roads. You can fix Ford’s oversight on your full size Ford, Mercury, or Edsel with a LEED Brakes Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit. The kits use the factory drum brake spindles so the conversion is a complete bolt-on.

Extend Your Vehicle’s Engine Life with Baxter Performance Oiling System Products

Add considerably more miles to your engine’s life with Baxter Performance oil system products. Their patented components provide faster oil pressure and lubrication, reducing wear and tear during engine startup, which is when the most damage occurs. 

Cartridge-to-Spin-On Oil Filter Adapters
One of the best improvements to engine oiling arrived in the 1950s when spin-on oil filters were introduced. These self-contained assemblies were much quicker and less messy to replace than the previous open cartridge oil filters. Anti-drainback valves were later incorporated to prevent oil from draining into the oil pan when the engine was shut off, ensuring an immediate supply of oil when the engine was restarted.

Fast forward to today. Cartridge filters have been making a comeback during the last few years, and so has accelerated engine wear during startup due to the elimination of anti-drainback valves. This didn’t go unnoticed by Baxter Performance. Their patented Cartridge-to-Spin-On Oil Filter Adapters allow owners to ditch their wear-prone cartridge filters for tried-and-true spin-on oil filters. Features include:

Keep Your LS Engine’s Valve Covers Sealed Up with Flatout Gaskets Valve Cover Gaskets

Flatout Gaskets makes good valve cover gaskets for GM LS engines. Now they’ve gone and made them even better. Its new LS Valve Cover Gaskets have a redesigned inside perimeter so they work with the factory center bolt type valve covers. The design keeps the gasket registered on the valve cover so it won’t move around and lose the seal. That also means you can do away with the factory O-ring seal.

Flatout Gaskets LS Valve Cover Gaskets are available in paper/silicone in 0.60- or 0.120-inch thicknesses or steel/silicone laminate in 0.50- or 0.100-inch thicknesses.

Protect Your Jeep’s Expensive Windshield from Damage with Racing Optics Windshield Defense Film

We spend decent money on screen protectors to prevent damage to our cell phone screens.

RaceTec Forged Pistons: Custom Piston Performance Available Off the Shelf

Like so many parts companies, RaceTec Pistons came about as a solution to a problem. The founder was big into Grand National boat racing and began having issues with the pistons he was using. After trying every piston on the market, he could not find one that met his needs. So, he decided to make his own and RaceTec was born.

RaceTec says it’s the only piston manufacturer with an in-house D.T.S. engine dyno to help develop and refine piston designs to insure they meet customer’s expectations. With almost 1,300 configurations available, chances are good Summit Racing has the RaceTec Racing or AutoTec piston that fits your engine build. It’s like getting custom pistons right off the shelf.

Keep the Temperature Down with a Snow Performance Stage 2.5 Boost Cooler

Hot air isn’t a good thing if you’re an engine with a turbo or supercharger. Boost makes horsepower, but it also creates a lot of heat. The more boost, the higher engine temperatures can get. The next thing you know, you’ve got detonation issues and big problems.

A Snow Performance Stage 2.5 Boost Cooler solves that problem by injecting a water/methanol mix into the engine’s air intake. The system’s VC-50 progressive controller uses a MAP sensor to inject the mix in proportion to manifold boost pressure—the higher the pressure, the more water/methanol mix is added. This dramatically lowers engine temperatures to reduce the chances of detonation. Water/methanol injection also cools the incoming air so the engine gets denser, oxygen-rich airflow. That improves drivability and even frees up some horsepower.
