Nothing ground breaking, but finally getting around to putting the fiber laser to work making some affordable sprocket stops. It’s the right tool to insure accurate torque on your upper sprocket to help prevent sheared pins. These will be tumbled and plated and will come with the hardware necessary. Pricing is TBD, but like everything else we make it will be another high value product.

Up next on our list of "coming soon" items is a full on front mount distributor drive and distributor. This is for those wanting to convert their existing combination where they already have an ignition system in place that they don't want to change to fire coil on plug. Keep your Grid or 7AL or whatever you have. This will work with either the Smith Innovation gear drive or our upper VVT delete sprocket and will take our billet timing cover that is machined for the seal and distributor mount. No guessing on parts as this is a engineered system. We have drag racers as well as circle track guys in mind where they force the use of a distributor. This is early development stage, but prototypes are being produced right now! Maybe a PRI release?

Worked on the tow vehicle today. It’s been leaking oil from the valve cover for a year now so it was over due to get it sealed back up. Not the easiest task with half the engine under the cowl and couple that with injector nut torque to 11in-lb. Buttoned up and looking pretty good still for a 20 year old truck.

We really wanted to be at London Dragway for the Mopar race, but Mother Nature decided to give us the rain instead. So, since we can’t be there to show off our products we decided to just do our show special on our website over the next two days. Stay turned for savings.

I guess we need to move this new product from “Coming Soon” to available now on our website. Race inspired, fully CNC machined timing cover for blower drive applications. Hellcat style oil pan. Fits 16% balancers with 0 modifications, -12AN cooling feed ports and -16AN return. Works for Whipple, Hellcat and Kong and might work for others. Easily run engine mounting plates if desired and this cover takes all of our existing alternator mounts as well as providing accessory mounts on both sides. Introductory pricing is $699!

Lots of nice pieces in this build. We appreciate the confidence shown in using so many of our parts in this build.

Gearing up for a new build? Grab the original VVT Phaser Delete kit instead of locking out your phaser and enjoy the benefits of less rotating wright, roller thrust bearing and the best hardware clamping system on the market.

This would be a nice addition. Maybe….
