The key to optimum combustion-chamber sealing and long-term reliability, ARP head studs are the ideal replacement for factory TTY (Torque to Yield) bolts that are yielded in the assembly process and should never be re-used. Moreover, ARP head studs for the Coyote are made from proprietary ARP2000™ material that is nominally rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength to facilitate increased clamping force. They are engineered for high-combustion pressure applications, including supercharging, turbocharging or use of nitrous oxide. The kits include parallel-ground washers, 12-point nuts, and a packet of ARP Ultra-Torque® fastener lubricant.

Features:

  • For `13+ Ford Coyote 5.0L engines (11mm)
  • Designed for high-combustion pressure applications
  • Replacement for OEM TTY (Torque to Yield) bolts
  • Made from proprietary ARP2000™ material

KW Suspensions (35261029): Variant 3 Coilover Suspension Kit for Chevy Corvette

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

KW Suspensions has developed the Variant 3 Coilover Suspension Kit for the new 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray. On undulated asphalt surfaces, the KW Suspension maintains perfect harmony and prevents nervous driving behavior. The pitch and roll movements of the chassis and body are significantly reduced and handling becomes even more dynamic.

The Variant 3 Coilover Suspension Kit features KW’s TVR-A (Twin-Valve Rebound Adjustable) Technology. The rebound stage dampening is precisely tuned at the KW in-house drive dynamics test facility and delivered in the middle range straight out of the package. Individual customization can be achieved in 15 precise clicks adjusting to 16 different settings, allowing you to choose between more comfort or more body control. Additionally, this suspension kit features KW’s TVC-A (Twin-Valve Compression Adjustable) Technology for low speed. This adjustable low-speed compression dampening stage can be closed or opened with 12 precise clicks for further influence on steering behavior and grip level of the tires. For even more control and adjustability, the new C8 Corvette Stingray Coilover Suspension features ride height adjustability that can be configured between 0” and 1” (0-25mm) on the front and rear axles, allowing the suspension to be lowered to suit your personal needs.

KW Suspension struts are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel that is corrosion resistant and rust-proof. In contrast to other solutions, the Inox-Line coatings will not wear off while adjusting the suspension, which makes these coilover struts 100% corrosion resistant with an unlimited lifespan. Lowering the suspension using the trapezoidal thread, in combination with the polyamide composite spring seat, also guarantees long-term functionality of ride height adjustability.

Features:

  • Application specific for `20 Chevy C8 Corvette Stingray
  • Adjustable ride height from 0”-1” (0-25mm)
  • TVR-A Technology allows (16) adjustable settings for rebound valve
  • TVC-A Technology allows (12) adjustable settings for compression valve

PROFORM (69595): Digital Variable-Speed Fan Controller

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Maintaining a consistent engine temperature is a more efficient way to keep your engine cool. Many other fan controllers turn the fan on when the engine is getting too hot, then turn it off after expending a lot of energy cooling it. The hard turn-on leads to amperage spikes, and the max speed usage can be noisy. These problems will be reduced substantially with PROFORM’s new variable speed controller.

This variable speed fan controller makes the fan or fans run at whatever speed is needed to maintain a consistent temperature. The controller receives a temperature signal from the radiator through either a push-in, or thread-in brass probe (both included). The fan controller processes this signal and runs the fan(s) at the correct speed needed to maintain the desired temperature. The weather-resistant billet aluminum housing with a bright digital display ensures easy temperature setting by simply pushing + or – buttons. By simply pressing the MODE button, the digital display will show temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. As a bonus, the display screen shows live amp use so you know how many amps your fan configuration is chewing up.

Features:

  • Variable speed fan controller
  • Digital display for easy setting
  • Single- or dual-fan compatible
  • Displays degrees F or C & live amp-usage
  • Short-circuit overload protection (E-fuse, 1-Click Reset)
  • Manual Override On/Off wire
  • Air Conditioning On/Off wire
  • Warning-light wire for optional light
  • 60-amp system maximum
  • Billet aluminum housing
  • Includes thread-in & push-in probes
