Is your Diff not gripping these days? Well the good news for you is rebuilding your Dana 60 Center section isn’t outside your reach.
On of the most common
transmission failures is caused
from improper converter spacing.
More and more cars are
equipped with mid plates. If you
add a mid plate, the converter
pilot and converter mounting
pads must be extended to match
the thickness o f the mid plate.
Some converters have pllots and
mounting pads welded and
some are module and can be
changed to accept any...
Thinking outside the box these days is really the only way to get ahead of the competition.
When we are developing carburetors for specific classes you have to look at the needs of the customer and figure out a way to make power.
However, most of the competition is aware of the obvious stuff so to get an upper hand you have to look in other areas.
There are som...
Tired of breaking cases and drive shafts? There are many books that misled you on setting the pinion angle. For Drag Racing this is simple. You are trying to set the pinion angle to be parallel with the centerline of the engine & transmission on hard acceleration. To achieve this you must first figure out the parallel setting of the rear end to correspond to...

I wanted to install the best system possible and Hurst was the logical choice. We actually featured the Hurst Roll Control in one of our previous issues (you can click this link to read...
Performance enthusiasts know that when it comes to engine air and fuel temperatures, colder is better. With that in mind we first introduced the first CO2-based fuel and air cryogenic super coolers for drag racing applications in 2003.
The CryO2™ system uses liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), stored at 80 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), to super cool intake air...
What Is A Spark Plug And How Does It Affect Performance?
A spark plug is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within the engine. A spark plug has a metal threaded shell, electri...
