MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP FOR ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION

With an unregulated pressure of 150 PSI, the VR-VD EFI RacePump offers enough pressure and volume to fuel small-block Chevy engines from 200 to 2,856 horsepower. And that's with a horsepower-saving 105 Lbs of pushrod force, which is actually 20 Lbs less than the typical low-pressure mechanical pump. And the EFI RacePump eliminates the wiring and plumbing hassles associated with electric fuel pump systems, especially on race engines that require multiple electric pumps and heavy batteries that must be recharged every run down the drag strip.

The EFI RacePump features gasket-free O-ring mounting flange sealing, stainless steel internal parts and proprietary seals designed for gasoline and methanol applications. The EFI RacePump delivers 204 gallons per hour at an unregulated pressure of 150 PSI at any RPM between idle and 10,000. The valveless, variable-displacement, anti-drainback design means the EFI RacePump only pumps as much fuel volume as is needed, so it works great with deadhead regulators equipped with RacePumps' high-pressure regulator spring.

MULTI-CHANNEL DATALOGGING FOR LC-1

Innovate Motorsports announced that the LC-1 can log directly into LogWorks 2 via the Innovate MTS data bus. This enables laptop or PC-based logging directly from one or more LC-1 controllers. Since the LC-1 “Lambda Cable” can be chained, users can tune individual cylinders for precision balancing.

The LC-1 ships with LogWorks 2, Innovate’s powerful analysis software. This is the same software used by top engine builders, tuners, and developers, and features Dyno-formatted charts, 3D charting, and a flexible math engine for creating custom tuning formulas. A key feature of LogWorks 2.0 is a full math engine for generating calculated traces. For example, LogWorks can calculate and graph horsepower, allowing direct mapping and comparison of HP vs. RPM vs. AFR. This enables users to gather performance data with a number of different fuel maps (or jetting changes, etc.), the use LogWorks to directly determine peak volumetric efficiency at any RPM or load. In other works, LogWorks 2.0 can tell you not only what your AFRs are, but also what they should be. Visit www.tuneyourengine.com for more information.

STS TURBOCHARGES THE RAM SRT-10

The power to roast the tires at any speed is priceless. The Ram SRT-10 is no slouch in stock form, but with the addition of STS’s remote turbo system, the SRT’s performance moves into an entire new realm of speed. Boasting 550+ horsepower at the rear wheels and 599 pound feet of mid-range torque, this lil’ Mopar’s performance is unrivaled by any other pick-up on Earth.

The key to the stealthy turbo system is its patented remote mounted turbo, located outside the engine compartment underneath the SRT-10. The remote-turbo location makes for a straightforward installation that can be accomplished by the do-it-yourselfer in 5-6 hours or by your local STS Power Dealer. This means no heat under the hood, no complicated pulleys or belts and best of all, no parasitic power loss! Included in the kit is a custom-sized Garrett 76mm GTS turbo, dual TiAL billet wastegates, full HPC coated intake and exhaust tubing, a plug and play wiring harness, patented oiling system and a custom tuning solution by Roe Racing.
