The 20130 direct-fit chassis harness for 1970–1972 Chevy Chevelle/Malibu from Painless provides provisions for connecting standard factory components plus everything you need for aftermarket components, including various pigtails and light sockets for mismatched cars (1971–1972 cars with 1970 front ends, or 1970 cars with 1971–1972 rear bumpers) and a 140-page manual with color schematics, photos, and step-by-step instructions.

The gauge cluster pigtail allows for the square “full sweep dash” harness and includes a Super Sport cluster pigtail, making it easy for those with a full sweep dash to later swap to an SS-style cluster by undoing one connector and plugging in the separate pigtail on the harness. This harness uses all of the same routing found on the factory harness, a design feature that lets you use existing attachment points. Painless even added extra length to the headlight section to allow it to be routed behind the driver-side inner fender for a cleaner look.

Features

  • Numerous components have the connectors and terminals preinstalled.
  • Exterior lights have the correct sockets and bulbs preinstalled.
  • Six-gauge charge wire and 100-amp MIDI fuse.
  • Fully integrated ground circuit.
  • 140+ page manual full of color schematics, photos, and step-by-step instructions.

Edelbrock’s all-new intake manifold for the 2011–2015 Ford Coyote 5.0L V8 combines long-tapered, crossover-style runners with a large plenum for outstanding performance. Its cast-aluminum construction makes it perfect for nitrous, supercharged, and turbo applications.

Reusing the stock fuel rail, Edelbrock 7180 also includes provisions for all emissions equipment and features nitrous bosses, which allow for the addition of a direct port system for competitive applications.

The slightly lower design lets the Victor II fit all 2011–2015 Mustang stock hoods and strut tower braces. Engine dyno testing resulted in 27 more ft.-lb. of torque over a common aftermarket plastic upgrade intake manifold and an additional 16 hp over a stock manifold.

A black powdercoat imparts abrasion resistance and looks great in the engine bay.

Features

  • For ’11–’15 Ford Coyote 5.0L V8 engines.
  • Cast-aluminum construction.
  • Protective black powder-coated finish.

When blended to the proper ratio, Race Fuel Concentrate from RACE GAS transforms ordinary pump gasoline into high-octane, high-energy, track-grade racing fuel. The secret is a chemist-derived blend that, when combined with pump gas, produces results on par with regularly distilled 100-octane gasoline by reintroducing the key elements of racing fuel: hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and organometallic compounds.

RACE GAS has burned its Race Fuel Concentrate in everything from a 944 Turbo race car, modified Audi TT, and Hemi Magnum to a Hemi Challenger and modified VW R32. All enjoyed increases in power, throttle response, and torque. See for yourself what so many others are discovering!
