We
stopped by the Powermaster Performance
booth and met with Brady Basner, who showed
us this F-body LS alternator and their new light weight,
high performance starter for the Ford 5.0 Coyote series
engine in the 200 ft lb XS Torque part number 9532. Designed
for cranking engines with up to 18:1 compression, all in
an 8 pound package. Using a 1.4kw starter motor and 4.4:1
gear reduction, the XS Torque 9532 resists heat soak with
its’ fully encapsulated aluminum solenoid. Visit

Moroso
Performance Products debuted 135 new parts at
PRI, among them the ones discussed by Moroso's Thor
Schroeder in the video: their new lighter-weight
dry sump pumps that weigh almost half of gerotor
pumps and take up to 40% less power to drive, their new
lug nuts that complement their press-in
wheel studs and meet NHRA's 5.2 rule of hex being length
of diameter of stud, and their new safety boots
for battery disconnect switches. Also on display was a whole
line of their new billet electric water pumps,
including this ultra-trick version for big-block 383-440
Chrysler that simply installs into the existing housing.

Who
of us doesn't use WD-40 for a bunch of
different uses in our racing operations? How about to remove
sticker glue from Lexan windows? The company was on hand
displaying new additions to their product line such as their
No-Mess Pens. Visit www.wd40.com.

ATI Performance Products was
displaying this innovative new low sprag assembly
for the Torqueflite 904 transmission. As ATI's J.C.
Beattie, Jr. explains, if you hurt the OEM 904 sprag
you've basically hurt the case. ATI's new bolt-in
sprag virtually eliminates this shortcoming, while
delivering the ability to hold 1,000 ft/lbs. of torque.
The item is available now; you can install it yourself
or ATI can install it for you into your case. Visit

| In
my opening video I mentioned how well represented drag racing
is at PRI, and here's some of the proof: in addition to
all the manufacturers were major sanctioning bodies like
the American Drag Racing League and the
National Hot Rod Association. |

VFN
Fiberglass was displaying this new dash, but the
real story was their catalog which I picked up. I can't
believe how many different fiberglass items they have. Visit
