Build a Better Chevy C10 or C1500 with Level 7 Motorsports Components
Level 7 Motorsports is a family-owned hot rod shop located in the southern Illinois countryside. In addition to building cars and doing engine swaps, owner Jesse Vaughn builds some killer Pro Touring Chevy pickups and takes them road racing and autocrossing. Check ‘em out on the Level 7 Motorsports YouTube channel.
Jesse took the experience building those trucks and created components to help you build a better C10 or C1500. Here are some of the parts available at Summit Racing:

Build a Better Exhaust System with Vibrant Performance Dual In-Out Mufflers
If you need a dual-in/dual-out muffler for a custom exhaust system or to replace a factory muffler (many European vehicles come stock with them), Vibrant Performance makes really nice ones. Made from 304 stainless steel, the mufflers have two straight-through perforated tubes that are individually wrapped with stainless wire mesh and high temperature, fiberglass/ceramic composite packing material. The design is much less restrictive than baffled mufflers. That means more exhaust flow plus a deep tone with minimal drone.
Vibrant Performance Dual In-Out Mufflers have an oval body for excellent ground clearance. They have slip-fit inlets and outlets so you can slide your exhaust tubes in and either clamp or lap-weld them together. Your choice of 2.25-, 2.5-, and 3-inch inlets/outlets.

Build a Better Suspension with FK JMX/JMXL Series Rod Ends
When it comes to building a custom suspension, rod ends have it over ordinary bushings (even the solid ones). They’re stronger, offer a much wider range of adjustment, and provide nearly zero deflection so those suspension adjustments stay put. They’re a win-win-win for racing, rock crawling, and other off-road pursuits.
And you can’t get a better rod end than FK JMX/JMXL Series Rod Ends. These three-piece rod ends have heat-treated steel alloy bodies with zinc-plated and chromate-treated races for corrosion resistance. The balls are hard chrome-plated 52100 steel for excellent wear and durability. Some JMX/JMXL ends are made with a self-lubricating PTFE liner that is chemically bonded to the inner diameter of the race. The liner offers a very high load carrying capacity and greatly increased dynamic wear characteristics. PTFE liners also eliminate the need for grease fittings that attract dirt and weaken the end.
JMX/JMXL Series Rod Ends are available in SAE and metric thread sizes.

A Boninfante Friction Flexplate Can Handle the Power Your Engine Puts Out
The large amount of force exerted by a high torque starter when turning an engine over creates considerable strain on a flexplate. The strain becomes even greater when the engine packs heaps of compression or puts out loads of power. This can cause cracking, rounded off ring gear teeth, and even starter damage—all of which is enough to put an end to your day before it begins.
A flexplate also transfers power to the driveline. In high performance and racing applications, this means it must prevent the torque converter from ballooning too much and pushing the thrust bearings out of the engine. Further, the flexplate must be perfectly balanced to keep the engine happy when spinning at high RPMs. That’s a lot of responsibility for a thin piece of metal.
A Boninfante Friction Flexplate can eliminate all these issues. They are made from very strong materials so they are durable enough to withstand as much power as you can send their way.

Get Big Brake Kit Clearance and Competition-Style Looks for Your Pro Touring Car or Truck with Rocket Racing Flare Wheels
If you’re looking for new wheels for your Pro Touring ride, give Rocket Racing Flare Wheels a serious look. For starters, the wheels are made using single direction flow forming. This aligns the A-356 aluminum’s grain structure in the same direction for maximum strength and exceptional fatigue and impact resistance. This process also uses less material in its construction, which reduces weight.
Rocket Racing Flare wheels are offered with four face profiles: 3 degrees (flat), 15 degrees (concave), 25 degrees (deep concave), and 37 degrees (ultra deep concave). This provides fitments for vintage muscle cars and trucks and even late model performance cars too. A redesigned barrel profile and drop center provide massive clearance for modern big brake kits.
Rocket Racing Flare wheels have a machined face and a titanium powdercoat finish. Additional features include:
- Engineered to exceed SAE J2530 and DOT standards
- 2,000 pound load rating
- Inner and outer knurled bead seats reduce tire slippage under hard braking and improve acceleration times
- 60 degree acorn seat lug holes
- Billet aluminum, O-ringed flat center cap
- An additional one inch of clearance under the center cap can be obtained by using the dome-style center cap from Rocket Racing Attack wheels (sold separately)

Give Your 1988-98 Chevy/GMC C1500 a Big Boost in Looks and Handling with Aldan American Coilover and Shock Kits
Enhance the looks, handling, and ride of your OBS C1500 pickup with Aldan American Bolt-On Coilover and Shock Kits. Bolt-on-and-go doesn’t get any easier than this, folks. Everything mounts just like stock in the OEM locations with no muss or fuss using the included installation hardware.
The kits are available with your choice of single or double adjustable shocks. The single adjustable shocks allow you to fine tune the shock’s rebound speed to soften or firm up the ride and handling. Double adjustable shocks add the ability to also tune the shock’s compression settings for even more control. In addition, front coilover applications allow you to adjust ride height from stock to two inches lower. Additional features include:
- No fabrication required
- Dial adjustments for fast and easy setting changes
- Coilovers and shocks made from lightweight, high-strength billet aluminum
- High tensile strength, cold-wound steel coilover springs
- Front coilovers can be used with drop spindles for additional lowering

Make Your S650 Mustang Sound as Good as It Performs with an AWE Tuning Exhaust System
You could make a good argument that the 2024 S650 Mustang GT—especially the 500 horsepower Dark Horse version—is one of the powerful and well-balanced Mustangs Ford has ever built. But like all cars, the S650 can be made even better. Replacing the factory exhaust system with an AWE Tuning system is a case in point. They feature a H-pipe that provides a muscular tone with minimal rasp. Aft of the H-pipe are straight-through bullet-style resonators to further reduce that raspy tone. That’s especially helpful when you add aftermarket headers.
AWE cat-back systems are hand-built in USA using American-sourced T304L stainless steel. The three-inch, 0.65-inch wall tubing is CNC-mandrel bent for maximum flow, and the systems are direct bolt-ons for easy installation. All systems are 50-state emissions legal and are backed by AWE Tuning’s limited lifetime warranty.

Bilstein Front Suspension Kits and Rear Reservoir Shocks: Engineered to Improve Your Truck’s Ride and Handling
Bilstein’s B8 6112 Series Front Suspension Kits and B8 5160 Series Rear Reservoir Shocks are engineered to work together. Bolt them on your truck or SUV and you’ll enjoy better handling and a more comfortable ride both on- and off-road.
One question Bilstein engineers get is why the B8 5160 rear shocks have a smaller bore size than the shocks in the Front Suspension Kits. After all, bigger is better, right?
