Think because your engine is fuel injected you don’t need to worry about heat causing you problems and stealing horsepower? Think again. Fuel injectors and the rails that hold them are just as susceptible to heat issues as the carburetors they replaced. Located on top of the engine, fuel rails see a lot of heat
If you are a mall crawler—a Jeeper who never takes your Jeep to the rocks, wash-outs, and shale hills that make for exciting wheeling; you needn’t read further. Your Jeep’s steering and suspension systems are more than stout enough to last for as long as you own the Jeep. However, if you’re more like me—and
As we get older, our eyes age right along with our other muscles. We can enhance our muscles with exercise and better tools, but other than wearing glasses, we can’t improve our eyes with exercise. So, to improve our vision we must improve our tools—in this case, Rigid Industries LED light fixtures. Rigid offers lights
These fully integrated supercharger kits from Sprintex USA can squeeze as much as 54-percent more horsepower from your engine, depending on your particular application. Sprintex supercharger kits feature a twin-screw compressor that significantly boosts the torque output of off-road machines at lower rpm, said Summit Racing tech advisor Carl Pritts, who explained that lower discharge temperatures
DECKED truck bed storage systems have become increasingly popular as a method of improving the utility of pickup trucks and vans. Equally useful for contractors storing tools and supplies as they are for outdoor sportsman storing hunting and fishing equipment, DECKED truck bed organizers are made in the USA, and built to last for as long
We’ve built and tuned so many supercharged engines over the years, we’ve lost count. And every time we build a Roots-blown engine, the thing we least look forward to is setting up the carburetor linkage. If the engine is running a single carb, it’s an easy job. Dual carbs mounted inline is almost as easy.
You’ve increased your Jeep’s tire size for improved ground clearance, and then you lowered its gear ratio to take advantage of the taller tires. But now, with the taller tires and lower gears, you feel a significant decline in stopping power. That’s because the heavier tires require better brakes to slow and stop them. Generally,
In the classic truck world, it doesn’t get much more popular than GM’s 1967-72 C/K-series pickups. These second-generation “Action Line” trucks have gone up in value and are becoming increasingly hard to score. For that reason, the folks at RideTech see a potential rise in popularity for the third-generation GM pickups (1973-87). The trucks are plentiful
When we get a new Jeep—at least “new” to us—or an actual brand-new off-the-showroom-floor Wrangler, we want to keep it as pristine for as long as we can. But how can we keep our Wranglers scratch- and dent-free when we wheel in the desert, rock crawl in the mountains, or park at the mall? Inconsiderate
The 5th Gen Camaro SS (2010-2015 model years) left the factory loaded with power—425 ponies for a manual trans car or 400 in a 6L80E equipped 5th Gen. But even with all that power, the SS still has a lot of room to grow. Heads, cam, intake, and even larger displacement will net more power
