INNOVATE MOTORSPORTS ENABLES INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER TUNING WITH THE ST-12

Innovate Motorsports announces the release of the ST-12 also known as the SuperTune-12 system. The ST-12 is a complete data acquisition system for advanced engine tuning. The system is anchored by Innovate Motorsports’ award-winning digital wideband Air/Fuel Ratio technology, but also includes flexible sensors for RPM, MAP, Temperature, Duty Cycle, and analog inputs.

The ST-12 can power, manage, and consolidate data from up to 12 specialized LC-1 (Lambda Cable) wideband oxygen sensor controller cables. The specialized cables are functionally identical to the standard LC-1 cables, except they are 18 ft. long, terminated with a single ST-12 (DB-15) connector, and sleeved in a rugged thermal insulator.

The ST-12 is targeted at engine builders, tuners, racers, and engine-technology developers. At its simplest, the ST-12 can add wideband Air/Fuel measurement to existing dynos, allowing users to either feed the ST-12’s outputs into their dyno, or to feed the dyno’s outputs into the ST-12.

XFI CAMSHAFTS FOR FORD 5.0 LITER STROKER ENGINES

COMP Cams is proud to announce their new XFI camshafts for Ford 5.0 liter stroker EFI engines. The new camshafts have been specifically designed and optimized for those enthusiasts that demand maximum performance from this unique fuel injected combination.

The performance increases generated by the new Ford XFI Stroker Camshafts are the result of extensive engineering research, backed by dyno and real world testing. The engineering involved in the creation of camshaft profiles for 4-inch bore, 3-inch stroke (found in standard 5.0 liter engines) is well documented. However, to produce an optimized stroker camshaft requires more R&D than simply increasing lobe profile duration to take advantage of the increased displacement.

STOP FLEX BRAIDED BRAKE HOSES

STOP FLEX meets both Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards AND Automotive Engineers Standards (SAE) for safety. Plus, these hoses are fully certified, not just compliant, with Department Of Transportation requirements. It doesn’t get any better, and STOP FLEX is made in the USA. Most automotive hydraulic brake systems see no more than a maximum of 1500 psi, STOP FLEX has a minimum burst rating of 5000 psi for a typical 1/8-inch ID hose. Available for most domestic and import cars, trucks and SUVs.

STOP FLEX stainless braided hose prevents volumetric hose expansion, which causes a spongy response, and the higher burst pressure produces a firmer and more responsive pedal. STOP FLEX incorporates a PTFE inner core, Kevlar braid, Elastomer coating and a stainless steel outer cover. The end fittings can be ordered in stainless or bright nickel-plated finish. A complete, easy to install STOP FLEX kit (#SBH6101), can now be ordered for the ‘05 Mustang. For additional information, visit www.classictube.com.
