LUNATI ANNOUNCES NEW PRO SERIES 6.300-INCH CONNECTING RODS FOR LS RACE ENGINES: CREATED TO HANDLE MORE POWER AND MORE RPM
Lunati has announced a new Pro Series 6.300-inch connecting rod. It is designed especially for all aftermarket LS large displacement racing blocks with 9.500 to 9.750-inch deck heights. However, these new American-made rods, which complement Lunati’s recently introduced Pro Series LS long-stroke crankshafts, will fit all LS blocks.
Their chief advantages are two-fold. First, when compared with the 6.125-inch con-rod, their longer length provides essential crankshaft clearance, eliminating the necessity of cutting away valuable counterweight material and the subsequent headaches and extra costs involved in rebalancing. Second, the 6.300-inch long rod restores a more desirable stroke-to-rod ratio. Further, it retains the correct compression height for the piston.
Derived from aerospace 4340 alloy steel, which is oil quenched, tempered, and tested, these premium quality connecting rods were created to handle more power and more rpm. They are perfect for all-out race engines, for Street-strip engines, even Street Rods—in fact any LS engine where a stroke length of 4.125 inch or longer is desired.
Weighing 245 grams, they are sized on the big end for 2.100-inch crank pins and on the small end for .928-inch piston pins. Finally, they are equipped with ARP2000 series rod bolts—this company’s finest fastener.
Lunati also makes a full range of Pro Series 4340 alloy steel connecting rods for small-block Chevrolet engines.

Aeromotive Releases Their new stackable fuel pressure regulators
You spoke. We listened. Aeromotive is proud to announce the release of their new Stackable Carbureted Fuel Pressure Regulators (P/N 13217). Ideal for carbureted nitrous engines, these regulators allow you to “stack” them together to control multiple pressures with a single fuel pump. The new “Stackable Regulator” is a clean, lightweight solution, ideal for nitrous engine combinations where unique pressures are desired.
No longer will sportsman and professional racers have to screw together unsightly brass T’s and pipe fittings to create a so-called “fuel log”. The Aeromotive Stackable Regulator solution creates its own integrated fuel log, by utilizing a patent pending flow-through designed modular regulator body. Using a positive O-ring seal, simply bolt as many of these regulators together as needed using the provided cap screws and O-rings. Each billet aluminum, CNC-machined regulator is adjustable from 5-12 psi and is equipped with O-ring and ORB-Ports including; ORB-10 (flow-through) ports and (2) ORB-06 outlet ports.
Capable of feeding single or dual carburetors and 1, 2, 3 and 4 or more stages of nitrous, all with total control of unique fuel pressures at every distribution point. For the ultimate nitrous fuel system, it’s easy to combine Aeromotive’s Pro-Stock 2 or 4-port regulators with the new Stackable Regulators, where all flow and pressure control is consolidated for a much cleaner, lighter package. Screw the combined Stackable Regulators to the inlet of an Aeromotive Carbureted Fuel Pressure Regulator, either dead-head or bypass style and control your carburetor system pressure separate from each stage of nitrous.
With the new, Aeromotive Stackable Regulators you have more flexibility than ever before. These regulators are completely serviceable in the field without removing them from the car and can be combined with the Aeromotive A2000 fuel pump or the A1000, Eliminator and Pro-Series Pump. For more information about a system for your application, visit our website or call our tech lines.
Aeromotive Inc. is a true high performance aftermarket manufacturer specializing in fuel delivery and fuel delivery components. Utilizing aerospace tolerances and procedures, 3 generations of track experience and a meticulous approach to engineering, Aeromotive Fuel Systems have become the absolute pinnacle of performance fuel delivery.

DIAMOND NOW OFFERS UNIQUE CUSTOMER SERVICE: NEED JUST ONE CUSTOM PISTON? NO PROBLEM!
Suppose one or more of your pistons suffer from a faulty tune-up. Unless you have Diamond pistons in your motor, in most cases, you will have to replace half a set or perhaps a full set of pistons at a premium price. Diamond eliminates this practice by furnishing one or more pistons as single items at a most reasonable one-off price, be they off-the-shelf, custom-built, or prototype for a first-time design.
Diamond’s pistons are made of 4032 alloy for mild applications or 2618 alloy to withstand the presence of high-compression, particularly power-adders: supercharged and turbocharged applications, or those consuming nitrous oxide. Products include those for Ford, GM, and Mopar power plants.

DEI Titanium Turbo Shield
Design Engineering (DEI) has come to the rescue with their new Titanium Turbo Shield with LR Technology custom fit for T3 turbochargers. Constructed from pulverized lava rock, extruded into fibers and then woven into a tight weave, gives this material titanium-like strength and durability. A high temperature rated silica insulation padding serves as added protection to handle direct continuous heat up to 1800 degrees F (980°C) and up to 2500 degrees F (1370°C) of radiant heat.
This improvement in underhood thermal management helps keep more heat inside the turbo to spool up faster while reducing radiant temperatures resulting in cooler air intake temperatures for improved performance and a boost in horsepower. Less heat circulating in the engine bay also means reducing the chances of “heat soak” conditions on vital underhood components.
Anchoring hooks have been incorporated and strategically located on the shield as a way for fastening it securely to the turbine housing. The T3 Turbo Shield is sold separately or as a kit that includes a 2 inch by 15 foot roll of Titanium down pipe wrap, two 14 inch stainless steel Locking Ties and 5 feet of fastening wire. Everything needed for a quick and simple install.
