Pump It Up
Razor Performance Products-Lightweight dry-sump oil pump
This new entry into the world of performance racing provides yet another way to save weight and maintain high performance from a dry-sump oil-pump system. A new gear design has yielded a weight saving of about 5 pounds as well as a demonstrated 30-percent improvement in efficiency compared to other pumps.
Crank It Up
Crower Cams and Equipment-Honda Journal cranks and rods
This exclusive Honda Journal crank-and-rod system is available in Chevys and Fords and has been track-tested in the environs of restrictor-plate Busch and Winston Cup action.
Use of this small-diameter rod journal crank means less bearing speed, less drag, and overall lighter rotation mass. Dyno tests have indicated a 7hp gain.
Keep A Cool Head
Bell Auto Racing Division-Air-extraction helmet
With a dual electric fan system in the top of the helmet, air is pulled from a forced-air system through the helmet itself. This action creates an airflow that draws heat from the driver's head and vents it out through the top of the shell. Included with the helmet is a Turbo-Max transformer box designed to increase the effectiveness of the fan's performance.
Vise Squad
Quick Car Products-Hose repair vise
This simple tool eliminates the need for messy and cumbersome removal of long hoses for repair. Working as a vise, the tool is designed to clamp to both a rollbar and hose fittings, allowing service and repair to hoses without the need for removal. Made from billet aluminum, its use is quick and simple.
Sprint To The Finish
Crane Cams-Sprint car cam
Designed for Outlaw-class Sprint car racing, this new cam design features a gun-drilled core and a 0.95-inch base circle. Additionally, the bearings have been undercut and lobes have been narrowed. All of these features have the cumulative effect of making the cam 2 pounds lighter than standard Sprint-car cams.
