With our mission to turn our Project 666 Fox body into a hardcore racing machine, our latest update involves the replacement of our OE-style Aeromotive fuel tank with the new six-gallon Stealth fuel cell armed with an internally-mounted A1000 fuel pump in the trunk of our nine-second Pony.

Any moderate to high horsepower engine needs an aftermarket fuel pump. The problem is, what pump do you need? We explore the different types of belt and electric drive pumps to help you pick the optimal piece for your project!
If you’ve ever fussed with a multi-belt design in the past, then hanging the alternator, power-steering pump, and other drive accessories to your GM small-block could prove a bit challenging. We take you step-by-step and show you what’s involved when it comes to installing a Concept ONE Serpentine Kit…
Thanks to Meziere and AFCO, All Air will keep its cool without lugging around a lot of excess weight, and we know that we’ve got dependable components that won’t require a lot of attention or maintenance; always a plus when you’re hustling in the pits between rounds.
There’s nothing like the look and feel from a Holley double-pumper carburetor. However, just like other mechanical parts, a carb needs periodic rebuilding to keep it metering efficiently. We show you some tips and give the step by step details on how to rebuild one for your mill.

With mechanical fuel pumps being redesigned to pump more volume at a higher rate than the stock versions of the muscle car era, why would you want to upgrade to an electric fuel pump? We take a good look at Holley’s new billet inline electric fuel pumps in this product review.
Having recently completed a carburetor shootout between street and race carbs on our Dart small block 440cid “Test Mule” engine, we decided to do a carburetor to EFI upgrade to take a closer look at the differences between the two systems.

In between rounds, the transmission can heat soak because the hot fluid sits stagnant in the case heating all those parts up, much like how the engine temperature will rise after being shut off. The ATI SC-30 cooler pump kicks in when the vehicle turns off. Check out the tech article inside!
When adding boost to any engine, it’s all about detonation control to maximize power, boost, and engine life. Race gas can get expensive as an every day fuel, but water/methanol injection can give you that additional octane plus other positive benefits. We explain how it all works inside.
With several checked off the to-do list, we’re very close to dropping the engine and transmission down into our Chevy II. But before we can do that, we’ve got the sometimes headache-inducing task of wiring and plumbing the car. In this installment, we’ll be focusing on the plumbing side of things.
We’ve been hard at it here in the powerTV garage getting some of the odd and ends of our Project MaxStreet ’66 Chevy II complete, and in order to get you, our faithful readers, up to speed, we’re going to take a little peek at what we’re up to at the present moment. Next up is our stout new fuel system setup.
Over the past 50 years, the venerable Holley carburetor hasn’t changed much. It’s simple design and near infinite adjust-ability have long made it a favorite among enthusiasts. While EFI tuners routinely use this new technology with great success, surprisingly few carb owners have warmed up to the idea yet.
Project Grandma started out as a plain-Jane, refrigerator white, underpowered, smog-strangled ’78 Malibu that was in desperate need of attention. After we got our hands on her, she was fitted out with a 25.5 roll cage and an asphalt-tattooing Edelbrock/Musi 555 cubic inch engine.
Our All Air Project Camaro is up in the air on the lift, so that can mean only one thing – more progress is imminent! We don’t want to keep you waiting too long for the update, so we thought we’d tease you with some shots of what we’ll be working on next.
Every racer wants an advantage. It’s in our very nature. Sometimes we overlook the simple stuff and the importance of what is fueling our race car. So what is the magic “rocket” fuel to launch you quicker and faster than the next guy to victory lane? What fuel is best for your hot street steed? Find out here.

A little while back, we worked on improving the cooling of our Project 666 — with an upgraded Flex-a-lite Radiator/Fan combination and a Meziere Water Pump. At the time, we decided to pick up some horsepower and reduce engine clutter by installing a complete March Performance 5.0L Pulley/Bracket system since we were already ditching the stock water pump and engine driven fan. Check out how it all went on the car.
