Magna Charger Goes Universal
Wake up any LS1, LS6, or LS2 with Magnuson's MP122 Universal Super Charger Kit capable of over 700 hp. Its low profile slips under most hoods without modification, and the optional front or rear inlet allows the builder some installation flexibility for various applications. The Magna Charger is a roots hybrid design with an integral water-to-air intercooler and a patented equal-length runner intake manifold. This combination, Magnuson claims, helps its blower make more power from 1,500 to 6,500 rpm than any other system. All necessary components are included, such as an intercooler circulation pump, fuel rails, injectors, factory "push lock connectors," and a fuel pressure regulator adapter when required.

Best Things In Life Come In Pairs
Whether it's the blonde twins you met over the weekend, their headlights, or their tailpipes ... it's hard to deny, the best things come in pairs. The new Fidanza C6 Twin- Disc Performance Clutch is no exception, handling up to 800 hp with near stock pedal pressure and an engagement similar to most single-disc Stage 3 clutches.Using 8.75-inch discs, Fidanza reduces rotating mass while increasing surface area for faster reving and matched shifts. Say goodbye to typical high capacity clutches with the all-too-familiar "on/off" switch feel and terrible street manners. Stage 1 (650 lb-ft) and Stage 2 (825 lb-ft) are available, as are LS1 F-body, GTO, and C5 Vette applications.

Got Torque?
If you're in the market for a new torque wrench, leave behind old-school torque sticks and step into 2007 with Snap-on's hyper-accurate Quick Set Electronic Torque Wrench.This particular wrench is designed specifically for those who frequently change tires, and comes with five pre-settings for the most common lug nut torque: 80, 100, 120, 140, and 150 lb-ft. A lockout feature prevents unwanted preset changes, and a Yellow-Green-Red light indicator warns the user when the desired torque is reached.

The 700-R4 Finally Gets Some Love
The maligned and often ridiculed 700-R4 finally gets some help in dissuading its non-believers with TCI's Constant Pressure Valve Body. Incorrect TV cable installation is the most common cause of 700-R4 transmission failure, so TCI designed a valvebody to constantly supply 200 psi of line pressure. No longer will a disconnected or improperly adjusted TV cable, for internal line pressure or part throttle shifting, be the cause of your transmission meltdown within a matter of a few miles. You'll have to do it the old fashioned way, with plenty of horsepower and long smoky burnouts.

Brake Like A Pro
If you thought your C6 or C6 ZO6 had some pretty impressive braking from the factory, imagine if you had AP Racing's six-piston binders and 14.88-inch (378 mm) cross-drilled and slotted two-piece rotors. Drawing upon the C6.R heritage, AP Racing's kit offers impressive performance while being compatible with the factory master cylinder and ABS system.Best of all, the big brake kit still fits behind stock C6 ZO6 wheels. Caliper mounting brackets, stainless steel brake lines, Mintex Xtreme brake pads and all the necessary high-grade hardware is included. The Mintex pads are good from 0 to 1300 degrees F, and work at cold as well as high temps. The AP600 is available in black with yellow lettering, and also in red with black script (AP600R).
