Carbon TRc Intake Manifold

Performance Design
performancedesign.com

Performance Design in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has introduced its new Carbon TRc (Tunnel Ram compact) intake manifold—an evolution of the company’s Carbon TR naturally aspirated and Carbon TRic (intercooled) boosted intake manifolds. The new TRc is an under-hood, short runner intake manifold optimized for boost, but does not rule itself out of a naturally aspirated application where fitment and aesthetics are preferred over peak power.
The key goals of this new design were to maintain the carbon fiber and billet aluminum construction, manufacturability within a desired price target, fitment under the stock hood, and versatility of subcomponents to be used across a wide range of applications.
To achieve this, they utilized a modular design starting with a one-piece molded carbon fiber plenum—a strong pressure vessel without seams or bonding that’s capable of handling over 50 psi of boost. It also features CNC-machined, anodized 6061-T6 aluminum runners and a 103-mm billet aluminum throttle body flange. Billet aluminum fuel rails are also available for port fuel applications or to add port fuel to direct-injected applications. This TRc intake manifold will accept factory injectors, and features Factory MAP, PCV, and Canister Purge Solenoid connections. The intake can be reversed on the engine and includes stainless steel hardware for installation, as well as molded port and throttle seals.
Due to its modular design, the Carbon TRc is available for a wide range of applications including LT1/LT4, LS3/L92, LS7, LS1/LS2/LS6, Godzilla, Coyote, and Hemi—all using the same carbon fiber plenum.

Fastener Kits for Ford 7.3L Godzilla Engine

ARP
arp-bolts.com

ARP in Ventura, California, has developed a series of fastener kits to bolster the performance potential and reliability of Ford’s 7.3L “Godzilla” engine. Among them are a head stud kit (part number 258-4301), main stud and bolt kit (part number 258-6501), rod bolts (part number 258-6301), and a harmonic damper bolt (part number 258-2501). The damper bolt comes with a large diameter 1/8-inch thick washer for superior load distribution.
Manufactured in-house at ARP’s Southern California facilities, the head and main studs are made of the proprietary ARP2000 alloy that is nominally rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength. They are centerless ground to assure concentricity with threads rolled (not cut) after heat-treat, delivering up to 20-times better fatigue strength than ordinary fasteners. The rod bolts are also manufactured from the same material.
Additional reliability can be obtained by using ARP’s new flexplate bolt kit (part number 158-2901). Various OEM underhood fasteners can also be replaced with ARP’s polished stainless steel or black oxide finished 8740 chromoly accessory bolts—20% stronger than Grade 8 hardware—which come in five-packs.

Centerforce, a division of Midway Industries that manufactures performance clutches and flywheels in Prescott, Arizona, has released a new billet steel flywheel for LS-swap applications. Designed to make pairing a Gen III or IV LS engine to a pre-LS manual transmission simple and reliable, this high-quality flywheel is made from billet steel and designed for improved performance via bolt-on installation.
This 168-tooth flywheel provides improved build quality over what the factory offers and solves a spacing issue when mating LS engines to older transmissions. It will mate to 1997 and later GM LS engines while offering the proper flywheel thickness (0.400 inches) to use in conjunction with the mechanical clutch linkage on many common early model transmissions, including Muncie SM465, GM SM420, New Venture NV3550, GM Muncie, Borg Warner T-10, and Richmond 4- and 5-speeds.
The kit (part number 704142) includes the pilot bearing and comes pre-drilled with pressure plate bolt patterns for early GM 11-inch and 12-inch patterns (3/8-inch bolts) as well as late-model metric GM 11-inch and 12-inch patterns with dowel pins.
