A lot of modern-day muscle cars use hydraulic release bearing; they help simplify your drivetrain. The problem with the factory units comes with the inability to adjust them and the lack of travel. The RAM replacement bearing triples the throw length and also makes the release and engagement reaction quicker. The OEM replacements are a direct fitment for S197 and all LS applications, but RAM also offers a universal bearing depending on your transmission that can be adapted to a wide variety of applications.

www.ramclutches.com has more information on their release bearings.

Keeping your engine cool should always be at the top of your list. Having a good radiator helps your engine run efficiently and make more power safely. Fluidyne is the maker of radiators, supercharger coolers and oil coolers for a verity of different applications. Their direct fit radiators are made to bolt right in with no modifications. Available for both the Fox body and SN95 Mustang, these radiators are designed using the same structure and materials as Fluidyne’s race series radiators; they feature a 100% brazed aluminum core with no epoxy joints or plastic tanks. Instead, they all come with polished aluminum tanks and are constructed with high efficiency air fins. All of these features are built into every radiator Fluidyne sells.



As mentioned above, Fluidyne is also known for their supercharger cooler products as well. Their cooler for the 2003 - 2004 Cobra follows the same direct fit mentality, as their radiators are a breeze to install. The 3 row core size is 18" W x 6.19" H and is 3.15" deep.

We all know heat and horsepower don’t always get along. This fight becomes more of an issue when the using a supercharger on cars like the GT500. To keep things cool, Canton Racing Products makes an extra capacity supercharger coolant tank for the 2007 and up GT500s.

Built from .100 inch aluminum, the tank offers better cooling due to aluminum’s ability to disperse heat faster than plastics. Plus, it is stronger and wont crack due to corrosion from the elements. This tank is designed to mount in the stock location to make the install a snap. The tank also incorporates a baffling system that can hold ice if you wish to provide even more cooling power.

If you are pushing the limits of your engine, one of the major reasons it can fail is fuel starvation. Weldon Racing Products has come up with a way to prevent this. Their new 1100 Flow Through fuel pump is designed for use with engines making 1200 horsepower and beyond. While this pump is capable of 148 gallons an hour at 45 psi, (That’s enough power to pull fuel straight up for over 15 feet of tubing) Jim Craig of Weldon assured me that this remains a quiet pump.

The pump is very friendly and would work very well with both EFI and carbureted vehicles. The really nice part is, due to the amount of power this pump can produce, it doesn’t even have to be mounted below the fuel tank; making it extremely easy to find a place to mount it.

There were plenty of must see part this year at PRI, but there was only one "Must Kit". AJE Racing introduced The Must Kit that allows you to mount any engine into your 1979-2004 Mustang, as well as upgrading the front suspension components can easily be done in one job. The thing that makes this part the Must Kit, is the fact that when they say the kit fits a Fox and SN95 Stangs, they mean the same part. That’s right, now ordering can be easy because, not only is it one part that includes many different model years, but that same kit also includes AJE Racing’s all new A-Arms that can be ordered in two different sizes.

The real interesting part of the kit is the way it incorporates the engine mounts to the upgraded K-Member. This design was use to incorporate the mounting of AJE’s CNCed engine mounts that are predrilled for a variety of engines. So if you looking at installing something from an old Cleveland engine to an all new LSX block in your Mustang, this kit is the "Must Kit" to get it done.

Isky Racing Cams was on hand this year for PRI by showing their support to the racing community. Their new EZ-Roll Keyway Lifters are design to replace needle-roller bearings to provide a higher load rating in your serious racing engine.

These lifters would work well in engines with a high cam profile, high rocker arm ratio, or if you are running over a 1,000 pounds of valve spring pressure and provides a low friction, high tech alternative to needle-rollers. They are offered in multiple sizes for Chevy, Ford, and even Chrysler V8 engines. The best part is Isky built these lifters to last. According to Isky, they are suitable for the extreme loading demands of all drag or Pro Street drag racing engine applications.

Budget Belt Drive System

If you have the money to put into your motor, a belt drive system is the way to go; they make it easier to adjust timing and rob less power then a chain drive system. Jesel has released a belt drive system that uses the majority of their high-end belt drive system components, just now with a cheaper, one-piece cam pulley. So that means that the lower gear, belt, adaptor plate, and hardware all remain the same.

The one-piece pulley adjusts by loosing the mounting bolt, pulling the gear towards you, turn, and lock back into position. There is a taper on the pulley so you won’t loose position on your cam timing, and will probably have to remove your water pump to adjust.



New Economy Solid Roller Lifters

Jesel’s high-end roller lifters are multi-piece in design and are engineered for upper level racing. They have now released a cheaper, solid roller lifter that is constructed of a solid steel body that is slightly heavier then their high-end applications. The bodies are heat treated and then polished.

What does carry over is their proven wheel technology. The tie bar is made from tool steel and are all made in tall style. The lifters are made to fit most traditional domestic applications, such as big and small Ford, Chevy, and Chrysler.
