The Dodge Demon and Ford Raptor represent the pinnacle of their respective performance niches: the Demon being an all-out, purpose-built drag car, and the Raptor a dune-hopping, desert-streaking off-roader. To complement their performance, both the Raptor and Demon got an aggressive visual treatment, including unique aero kits, modified stances, and (of course) radically-styled wheels. Voxx
The folks at Horsepower Wars decided to re-ignite an ages-old duel between the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro in a series of tiered challenges they’ve dubbed the “Pony Wars.” Though baseline tests hinted that the 2017 Camaro may have the performance edge over the 2017 Mustang, both Pony Wars teams got a $5,000 budget to
Have you ever wondered why one camshaft makes more power than the other? Would you like to compare the behaviors of multiple cams without ever doing a cam swap? Written descriptions of idle quality, power range, compression, gear, and converter requirements only go so far when the same cam fits in a 283 or 406
Mechanically similar, General Motors’ LS and LS-based Vortec engines wound up on almost every branch of the GM family tree: Chevy, Pontiac, GMC, Cadillac, Buick—heck, even Saab, Hummer, and Isuzu got some LS love. Since LS and Vortec engines are so common, they’ve become the go-to performance and swap engines of the modern era. These motors are

Shop owner Luke Merrill, 26, has done everything from restorations and customs, to slammed rat trucks and radical hot rods—all
Photography By: Todd Biss Productions If you’ve spent any time in a middle school science class, you’re probably familiar with Isaac Newton and his third law of motion: For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if you push against something, it pushes right back. It’s how boats sail through the
In light of our favorite speed shop’s 50th birthday in 2018, we took a look at some of the gearhead milestones in both Summit Racing’s history and automotive history in general. To that end, we’ve put together a list of what we feel are the 10 most significant performance cars made from 1968-2018. Now, before
Current is a critical component of any electrical system. In basic terms, current is the flow of electricity. It is quantified in amperage, with “amps” being the unit of measure. It’s important to note that current isn’t the same thing as voltage, so don’t make the mistake of using those terms interchangeably. The proper voltage
Q: Help!
