MSD recently announced a new EFI system called Atomic EFI, and it's a totally self-contained unit designed to install in one day and offer a multitude of features including self-tuning capability. Here, Steve Magnante takes us through the new system.
Check out the 2011 SEMA V8TV Booth Babe Challenge! Watch the video, then guess what you think the beautiful spokesmodel is going to say on the third question!
Rocket Racing Wheels are bringing back great-looking vintage styles and adding modern touches to their wheels. Here, David Coker tells us about the history, styles, finishes, and sizes available from Rocket Racing Wheels. We ran a set of gray faced Rocket Booster wheels on our '68 Camaro "Reloaded", and people can't seem to get enough of them!
Royal Purple Synthetic Oil recently had a contest where the winners got to show their car off at the 2011 SEMA show, and this video features the first winner! Joe Cherry built this 1958 Chevrolet "El Nomado," a car that GM never built… but perhaps should have!

Here's a sneak peek at the '68 Camaro with the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
tires mounted on the Rocket Racing Booster wheels as the guys complete
the interior install. Next up is the final detail and buff job, and
then it's off to the show!
http://www.v8tvshow.com - Wheels & tires make up a huge part of how a car looks and performs, and we're running some cool ones on this Camaro! Check out the Rocket Racing Booster wheels done in polished lip / gray face for a nostalgic look, and the killer redlined tires! The tires were redlined by Diamond Back Classics, and the process vulcanizes the red stripe to the side wall, meaning it won't peel off or rub like paint. It's part of the tire. Cool stuff!
Today we thought we'd let you hear the 490 in the '68 Camaro for a bit, and it sounds killer. It's a stroked 454 with an Eagle crank and rods, JE pistons, Holley oval port heads, a Weiand Stealth intake manifold, FAST EZ-EFI fuel injection, MSD Digital E-Curve distributor and MSD wires, Moroso fabricated valve covers, Hooker headers, and a Vintage Air Frontrunner serpentine system. But the real star is the Comp Thumpr hydraulic roller camshaft kit... (PN COMP K01-600-8). This thing sounds like a top fuel car! More on this engine in an upcoming video, but here's a taste. We love the super-fast throttle response of the EZ-EFI and this Comp Thumpr. Cool.
Tonight, Nathan completed the wetsnading process and the 3M Perfect-It buffing process, and man does this car shine! The BASF Glasurit clear looks like you dipped the car in liquid metal. It's unreal.
