ADRENALINE OUTLAW R100+
HOT SHOT'S SECRET
Located in Mt. Gilead, Ohio, Hot Shot's Secret announces the launch of Adrenaline Outlaw R100+. This product is a pre-mixed, high-performance diesel fuel that was engineered specifically for the demands of pulling, drag racing, dyno competitions, and other diesel motorsports. The Outlaw R100+ is formulated with elevated levels of cetane to maximize power output and incorporates advanced lubricity additives to protect fuel pumps and injectors from excessive wear. Beginning with a base fuel distillation hand-selected by the Hot Shot's Secret team, this premium based blend delivers a powerful combination of performance and protection.
"Increasing cetane not only shortens cranking time and ignition delay but also enhances turbo spool-up and smooths cylinder pressure peaks," said Joshua Steinmetz. "The result is a cleaner, more complete combustion process that translates directly into more power and efficiency on the track."
The R&D team, "collaborated closely" with top racing and pulling teams to develop the optimal formulation, added Steinmetz. This upper-cylinder lubricant is designed to reduce scuffing, improve ring seal, and minimize friction at the cylinder wall-to-piston ring interface.
KNIPEX COBRA ES
KNIPEX
The new KNIPEX Cobra ES is the latest rendition of its original Cobra, now with even better accessibility, greater capacity, and more functions. Located in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, the redesigned Cobra model offers increased capacity (from 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch capacity on round materials) and better gripping due to an optimized jaw design. The jaw now features front gripping serration as well as a cross groove for smaller, round materials such as nails. Additionally, the head size on the new model is slenderer for better access to confined spaces.
The new 7 1/4-inch model (87 51 180) has the same features and functionalities at a more compact size. With a jaw capacity of 1 1/4 inches on both round and hex materials, the smaller size will be a great addition to any tradesman's everyday carry lineup. Joining the existing 10-inch Cobra ES model (87 51 250), both versions feature the well-known push-button adjustment with the 7 1/4-inch model offering 18 adjustment positions and 25 for the 10-inch model. Both sizes of the Cobra ES will be available soon at select authorized retailers in North America.
SYNTHETIC ATV/UTV CVT FLUID
AMSOIL
The new 100% Synthetic ATV/UTV Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Fluid was specifically designed by AMSOIL in Superior, Wisconsin, to deliver optimum performance and protection in hard-working Polaris STEELDRIVE CVTs. As manufacturers introduce advanced technology to increase UTV performance, AMSOIL delivers purpose-built protection. The latest CVT technology features a durable steel belt to provide smooth operation and improved torque and power delivery. Steel-belted CVTs are prone to metal-on-metal friction that can increase heat and wear during heavily loaded, high-temperature operation.
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic ATV/UTV CVT Fluid is formulated with exceptional friction properties to promote smooth, consistent operation while reducing shudder. Built with outstanding film strength that resists extreme pressure, AMSOIL 100% Synthetic ATV/UTV CVT Fluid delivers maximum protection in severe operating conditions. It provides supreme extreme-temperature performance and protects against wear for maximum CVT life. This new synthetic fluid from AMSOIL is warranty secure and provides an excellent alternative to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fluids for Polaris STEELDRIVE CVTs.
ORANGETOP QH6
OPTIMA BATTERIES
OPTIMA Batteries, the Glendale, Wisconsin-based battery manufacturer has announced the official launch of the new ORANGETOP QH6 in the United States. The OPTIMA ORANGETOP QH6 lithium battery offers more cold cranking power than any standard H6 and is resilient to extreme temperatures. The new QH6 is a quad terminal, 45 AH battery with a cranking power of 880 A and weighs 19.8 pounds. It utilizes a variety of features that OPTIMA Batteries has become known for, including the OPTIMA CPR built-in-jump-start and the integrated OPTIMA Batteries Bluetooth app.
The QH6 is a dual-purpose battery for both engine-starting and deep-cycle applications, automatically disconnecting the battery when it's being drained and reserves enough power to start a vehicle, and can be activated with the Bluetooth app. This battery utilizes a microprocessor-controlled battery management system (BMS) automatically monitoring and controlling all functions. The QH6 is IP67-rated against water and dust intrusion making for a robust design that accounts for vibration, dust and water resistance. An optional POWERLINK system is available, allowing for convenient battery control, state-of-charge indications and an easier way to connect a charger.
SUPER PUMP GEARS
ATI PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS
ATI Performance Products in Baltimore, Maryland, has introduced its brand-new line of 4140HT billet steel pump gears. These brand-new gears are precision machined from 4140 HT steel; with a proprietary tooth design. The gears are both Calico Super Finished and coated to minimize friction, improve lubricity and eliminate a weak link. Sizes are available for OEM, 1 3/16-inch and 1 1/4-inch input shaft size transmissions.
The 205026H is designed for use with ATI's T400 Super Pump for 1 1/4-inch input shaft transmissions, while the 205028H is for the ATI two-speed SuperGlide 4 and T400 1 3/16-inch transmissions. Finally, the 205027H is for T350 and T400 OEM-based or ATI Super Pump transmissions. If used in an OEM Steel pump, .003 inches will need machined off the face for proper clearance.
SMALL BLOCK MOPAR CYLINDER HEADS
AIRFLOW RESEARCH (AFR)
Air Flow Research (AFR) in Valencia, California, has introduced the latest addition to its high-performance cylinder head lineup. AFR has added the 175cc small block Mopar heads, engineered specifically for 1964–1992 318, 340, and 360 LA engines. These new heads feature precision-designed intake and exhaust runners with an as-cast finish, delivering optimized flow and consistent performance straight out of the box. Built with innovation in mind, the redesigned water jackets provide improved cooling in high-stress areas, enhancing durability and reliability under demanding conditions.
From upgrading a street machine or building a serious performance setup, these heads offer a significant performance advantage over stock iron castings. The new 175cc Enforcer Mopar LA head flows exceptionally well with peak flow of 262 (intake) and 203 (exhaust) at .600-inch lift. A test was performed on a SuperFlow 600 dyno. Available as bare castings or fully assembled with AFR's components, the 175cc small block Mopar heads deliver both value and quality.
LSXHR INTAKE MANIFOLD INTERCOOLER
FAST
FAST (Fuel Air Spark Technology) in Olive Branch, Mississippi, has released its LSXHR intercooler. FAST has produced a solution to cool the air charge on a centrifugal-supercharged or turbocharged engine using high-ram style intake manifolds. This air-to-water intercooler conveniently fits between the upper and lower intakes on an LS Hi-Ram style manifold, reducing the need for under hood piping fabrication, simplifying the installation, while saving space, time, and cost. Testing conducted on a 1,350 horsepower/20psi turbocharged-LSX application showed a 198 degree F drop in temperature and less than 1 psi loss across the intercooler.
A robust list of features includes large -16AN water inlet/outlets, welded billet construction, and a durable black powder-coated finish. Featuring O-ring sealing on both air and water sections, the necessary hardware is included. This intake manifold intercooler is designed to work with the LSXHR 103-mm intake manifold.
