A world leader in specialty clamps, Murray Corporation has joined forces with Turbosmart to supply the performance market with their unique Turbo Seal Series Specialty Worm Drive Clamps.
A constant tension stainless steel worm gear clamp designed to compensate for the effects of thermal cycling and/or compression set of hose. Turbo Seal’s convoluted spring action outer-band solves this problem and features a unique inner band profile to provide superior sealing pressure via its two raised ribs and the chamfered edges eliminate damage to the hose when tightened.
Murray’s unique “Dual Bead Shield” concentrates band sealing pressure, increasing performance up to 30% compared to standard smooth liners. Flanged edges protect soft hose compounds.

Superior and unparalleled technology is what goes into the all new PF7010. Equipped with Injen’s very own MR step-down process and Air Fusion, the Camaro 3.6L will deliver powerful gains of up to 16HP and 16ft/lbs of torque. In addition, Injen now uses a surface loading, nano-fiber webbing in all its filters, the same one used in the US Army Abrams M1 tank. The Ea nano-fiber dry filter removes five times more dust then the traditional (paper) filter media and 50 times for must then the oiled cotton gauze filter. Trust the company with the only multi-patented tuning process. Trust Injen Technology.

Woah. If last weeks release of the Porsche GT3 Hybrid wasn’t enough to tickle your ‘mean and green’ fancy, the feast your eyes on this. The Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid. Yes, another hybrid from Porsche, only this time it’s the plug-in variety (amongst other cool features).
The Porsche 918 Spyder is as mean as it looks. All in this thing puts out 718HP – 500HP from a traditional V8 and another 218HP from a pair of electric motors mounted to each axle. Top speed sits right below 200MPH and 0-60 is in the 3.2 second range. Oh, and it can go 16 miles on electricity along and average 78MPG if you don’t have such a heavy foot.
So how does it do it? Well, first off the engines can run independently from one another or in tandem, and there are foru different ‘modes’ which dictate the pace.
Additionally, there is a ‘push-to-pass’ button, not unlike what’s been rumored on the next gen M5. This along with the rest of the system we are assuming relies on KERS (Kenetic Energy Recovery System) as seen in past posts and in the current seasons F1 cars.

In April of 1999, the Honda Motor Company officially launched the Honda S2000 roadster. The S2000 was created to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary. The S2000 served a dual purpose to Honda as a celebratory icon as well as a tribute to the company’s first production car; the S500 sports car.
The S2000 has undergone several changes and upgrades since its origin. Starting with the 2006 model year, the S2000 comes powered by a 2.2-liter, inline, four-cylinder (F22C1) engine. Known as the “second generation” or “AP2″ model, the S2000 is more powerful and fun to drive than ever before. To give S2000 owners even more to celebrate about, AEM has released the 21-690 Cold Air Intake System for the 2006-2009 Honda S2000.
Available in two finishes, the 21-690 Cold Air Intake System comes in either a gunmetal gray finish (21-690C) or a polished finish (21-690P). The 21-690 Cold Air Intake is constructed in a three-piece design using high-quality aluminum intake piping. Originating at the S2000’s throttlebody, the 21-690 Intake System relies on a series of mandrel bent curves to reach the vehicle’s front bumper where the DryFlow Performance Air filter is located. By mounting the DryFlow air filter in the front bumper of the S2000, the best source for cool air inlet temperatures is attained.
The S2000’s performance is vastly improved with the AEM 21-690 Cold Air Intake System in place rather than the restrictive factory air intake components. As tested on a 2008 Honda S2000, AEM was able to realize a maximum gain of 7.67 horsepower at 7,300 RPM. Installation takes 90 minutes or less using basic tools.
The 21-690 Cold Air Intake System for the S2000 uses a 21-2113DK DryFlow Performance air filter. The 21-2113DK has a 3.25-inch (83mm) inlet diameter and a height of 7-inches (178mm) allowing abundant airflow into the S2000’s F22C1 engine. The oil-free DRYFLOW technology is extremely durable and easy to clean. To further augment the filtration properties of the DryFlow performance filter, AEM also offers DryFlow Pre-Filters (Part number 1-4007 for the 21-690 intake system). Designed to prevent splashes of water and/or mud from saturating the DryFlow air filter, AEM’s Pre-Filters are manufactured from durable micro-screen materials that are pretreated with a proprietary hydrophobic process.
