Beehive springs, such as those offered by COMP Cams, offer a huge number of benefits over stock style cylindrical springs; reduced valve spring mass, faster valve acceleration, increased valve train rigidity, reduced valve train component stress and a whole laundry list of other positives.
We step out to the PowerTV garages for an install of a new set of Dick Cepek Torque wheels, and Mickey Thomspon Baja STZ’s on the PowerTV 2011 F-150. We then head out for an on and off-road jaunt, to test the meddle of the new rolling stock
Is that new cold air intake going to help your tow vehicle get your race car to the track or will that new sway bar? In our book, our vehicles are not worth the risk. A safer and more stable haul wins out over the handful of potential horsepower. We explain why here.
The innovative team at Accessible Technologies Inc., the name behind the ProCharger supercharger brand, opened their doors to the powerTV team, allowing us a virtually all-access look inside the design, manufacturing, and assembly process that goes into their self-contained supercharger systems.
It takes more fuel to make more power, and for that, JPC Racing offers these drop-in triple pump assemblies, featuring a billet “Top Hat” fuel hat with three Walbro GSS342 (342 LPH) fuel pumps and other optional fuel pump setups – including one for E85 – that will stand by you for well over 1,000 horsepower.
We installed the e-Boost Street into our Mustang with a minimum of muss and fuss by following the excellent directions provided by Turbosmart USA. Additionally, we previewed their more powerful E-Boost 2 boost controller.
Following months of development and numerous real-world test outings during the late winter, Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels launched their all-new ET Street Radial Pro P275/60R15 tire at the Radial Revolution “Lights Out 3″ last month, creating a record-setting frenzy among the racers.
Which is the better car, a new Mustang GT or a new Camaro SS? While we’re not going to give our opinion on which one we like better, with help from host Jessica Barton, we took these cars to BBK Performance and threw the company’s most popular bolt-ons at them and ran them on the dyno after each step.
Maximizing the NOVI 2200 supercharger output will help achieve that goal as the JPC Racing ’11 Mustang shop car has already run 9.34 at 150 mph and cranks out 843 rwhp at 15 psi of boost and 6,600 rpm—any higher resulted in belt slippage. Now with the 8-rib upgrade, the team from JPC went back to the dyno…
Diagnosing an overheating engine usually starts with the radiator. But sometimes the problem goes much deeper than replacing a radiator though. We talk to two industry experts who help us to determine whether an overheating issue is the fault of the radiator, or something else.
In this technical piece, we’re going to dive into the world of racing wheels to bring you the 411 on the latest in drag racing wheel technology as we focus not only on the design and construction processes, but what goes into keeping the wheel and tire mated in the most intense of environs.
1,000 horsepower, 91 octane, and reliability are all words that you normally don’t hear together. But that is exactly what we are going for with our 427 cubic inch small block Ford destined for our ’65 Mustang we call “Biting the Bullitt”. Follow along through the entire engine build and engine dyno session!
Far too often overlooked in the building of a street/strip project are the axles. While stock axles are not necessarily all bad, there are some things to consider when putting together a strip-ready rear end. We team up with Moser and Strange to bring you the 411 on street/strip axles.
Sanding scratches and wavy panels are the result of poor blocking techniques – an art that is simply just not that hard to master. We’re going to show you some super easy steps and tricks to getting the smoothest finish before you paint.
Do fasteners and torque methods play a significant role in critical engine measurements. We take a look at how fasteners and torquing methods can affect how well, and how long your engine runs.
We’ve attacked ten of the most commonly asked questions regarding shock absorbers in drag racing, from how to select and set them up to how you can extend their lives and get the most from your shocks, with input from such industry experts as AFCO, Varishock, QA1, and Strange Engineering.
The fifth and final episode in our Centerforce University series takes you to the outer limits of clutch performance with a look at what’s involved in building a race clutch that won’t act like a one-leg Stair Master…
There are two kinds of street/strip cars—street cars that occasionally see the dragstrip, and drag cars that get driven to the cruise night every once in a while. Both cars need tires, but can that really be the same tire? We set out to break them down and give you the skinny on fat tires.

We performed a mad thrash in an attempt to squeeze the car into the 9’s at the end of the season, with a 9.94 at 134 MPH. The mad thrash taught us a few things, so we went right back to our friend Dave Zimmerman and his group of craftsmen at Team Z Motorsports for a few additional chassis updates to Project 666.
Nitrous oxide has come a long way as a reliable power adder over the last few decades. We took a kit from ZEX nitrous over to local shop Cunningham Motorsports (CMS) to have it installed on a 2011 Mustang. Come in and check out the overview of the installation and the power we picked up!
