Vic Edelbrock Jr.'s daughter, Camee, sharing an uplifting message from her mom and dad

NMCA West Street Car Nationals is entering its 6th season and features 12 drag classes for racers to compete in from Sportsman to Pro Comp and everything in between. As part of this amazing 4 race series held at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, California, NMCA West & Hotchkis Sports Suspension will bring back the Hotchkis Cup Auto X Series presented by Nitto, that has been such a huge success as part of this series.

The evening started with a couple hundred autocross competitors and racers, plus dozens of series sponsors enjoying Vic Edelbrock Jr.’s Museum and Car Collection in Torrance, California. Steve Wolcott of Promedia Events, the NMCA Series Promoter, was on hand to get the party started. He had the distinct honor of introducing the series' major sponsors and of course the man of the hour, the events host and emcee Brian Lohnes, the Co-Creator of Bangshift, announcer for NHRA and the NHRA on Fox Pro Mod Show. Close to 150 awards were given in recognition for the racers achievements.

The AIRAID Jr. Kit specifically targets the most restrictive elements of the Mustang’s OE intake

Producing that much power, reliably and day after day takes a stout engine. Ford’s started with a high-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder block with ladder-frame bearing caps and DOHC 24-valve cylinder head and added to it a forged steel crankshaft, piston-cooling jets, steel piston ring carriers, premium bearing material, upgraded valve seat materials, and forged steel connecting rods. Covering up the bottom is a deep-sump, die-cast aluminum oil pan.

Owners of 2015 – 2016 can boost that output even further with their choice of one of two AIRAID intake systems. Both the 450-730 and the 451-730 are available for the 2015-2016 Ford Mustang 2.3L.

What makes the AIRAID kits so effective on the 2.3 L Mustang is that the EcoBoost engine is turbocharged, and one thing that a turbocharged engine can’t get enough of is air. Ford has demonstrated how the spark will continue to advance and the fuel system continues to deliver incremental gasoline to develop horsepower with an increase of airflow into the turbo.

The AIRAID Jr. kit comes with detailed instructions and can be installed on a Saturday morning

While the AIRAID Jr. kit is a more affordable solution, you won’t achieve quite the same power gains as a full-on AIRAID kit. Though it’s a great starting point for enthusiasts on a budget or for those who’ve never installed an aftermarket intake system and want to see what kind of difference one can make.

The AIRAID Jr. kit specifically targets the most restrictive elements of the Mustang’s factory intake system, the intake tube and the paper filter, in order to help boost power and mileage. AIRAID has two solutions for EcoBoost Mustangs that will improve breathing, and result in increased horsepower and better response. There’s the 450-730 SynthaFlow oiled cotton gauze filter media recommended for those who frequently encounter dusty driving conditions and the 451-730 SynthaMax dry synthetic filter media which is recommended for everyday street driving. The AIRAID Jr. kit also includes an AIRAID modular intake tube. As with other AIRAID intake systems, the AIRAID Jr. Kit helps to straighten and improve air flow to the engine for improved throttle response, plus increased horsepower and torque.

And there’s no need to purchase a new paper filter each time the old one gets dirty when you can upgrade to a serviceable AIRAID Direct-Fit Replacement Filter for often less than the cost of two stock replacements. The AIRAID Jr. kit is easy to install, comes with detailed instructions, can be installed in a Saturday morning with only common hand tools, and requires no drilling.

SynthaMax dry synthetic filter media is recommended for everyday street driving

The 451-730 is also washable and reusable. Cleaning your AIRAID SynthaMax air filter restores full air flow efficiency and maintains optimum engine performance. Best practice is to clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles of normal driving. If you’re driving in off-road dusty conditions, consider the 450-730 filter. The best and easiest way is a quick, three-step process with the AIRAID SynthaMax dry filter cleaning solution, which contains a 24-ounce pump bottle of cleaner.

And of course both 450-730 and 451-730 are backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship or performance of this air filter, call us at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you. You don’t have to worry about a warranty card; AIRAID filters are warranted for life.

Both the AIRAID 450-730 and the AIRAID 451-730 are designed for the following vehicles:

The cold air dam panels help provide a free-flowing supply of cooler outside air into your Cummins

Left with no option to either develop its own diesel V8, or partner with a company with the expertise to develop one on Dodge’s behalf, neither of which the cash-strapped company could afford, the Dodge division went out and purchased engines from diesel specialist Cummins. What broke with Detroit tradition is that engines developed or purchased outside the company are given names that fit within the existing company nomenclature and all marketing materials pretend that the engine is a product of the company. Dodge didn’t do that with Cummins. It made the availability of a real diesel, not a converted passenger car engine, the center point of its marketing. And in doing so, started driving truck sales in 1989 like Dodge had never seen before.

Fast forward to 1994. The Generation 2 Cummins 6BT turbodiesel engine is introduced. Along with smaller detail changes is the replacement of the original fuel pump with one of higher capacity, allowing for greater power production. It offered 175 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. To better meet emissions, Dodge switched first to the Cummins ISB and then the Cummins ISB CR diesels. By 2002, the Cummins 5.9-liter was producing 245 horsepower and a whopping 505 lb-ft of torque.

The 360-degree air filter is washable and reusable and less restrictive than paper filters

A critical factor is the 11.5” by 7” oval tapered AIRAID premium air filter that’s housed inside an air box providing outstanding air flow and filtration. The filter utilizes a reusable, dry, non-woven synthetic filter media. To maintain performance, clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving, and more frequently if your drive in off-road or heavy dust conditions. The best and easiest way is with the AIRAID 790-558 premium dry filter cleaning solution.

Incoming cold air from outside the vehicle is directed through a new air intake tube with a smooth, low-restriction interior thanks to its construction of cross-linked, high-density polyethylene. This cold air dam intake system also has provisions for the factory mass air sensor and filter minder gauge, so there’s no need to recalibrate your truck’s ECU.

Installation of the 302-139 cold air dam is simple, with easy-to-follow instructions. You need only a few basic hand tools and around 90 minutes to increase the power and responsiveness of your Cummins-powered Dodge Ram truck.

The 302-139 cold air dam is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air filter, just give us a call at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you.

Either system that you choose you can count on an increase of an estimated 10 horsepower

Either system that you choose you can count on an increase of an estimated 10 additional horsepower at the rear wheels over an unmodified 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS – which equates to a larger gain at the flywheel, where the manufacturer rates engine power.

The sixth generation of Chevrolet’s pony car was introduced in 2015. It was moved onto the Alpha platform, which it shares with some Cadillac models. This provides the opportunity for advanced technology to migrate easily between the models that share the Alpha platform. Oh, and production of the sixth generation Camaro has been moved back to the United States from Canada.

To create a 2016 Camaro SS, Chevrolet starts by installing the LT-1 Generation V small block as developed for the Corvette. And while still a pushrod design, it features high-tech upgrades like direct injection, variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation. The 6.2 L aluminum V8 produces 455 horsepower rating at 6,000 rpm and 455 lbs-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.

A one-piece roto-molded air box addresses the shortcomings of the original Camaro design

Housed inside the air box is either an AIRAID SYNTHAFLOW (250-333) or SYNTHAMAX (251-333) air filter, connected to a tuned high-velocity stack to speed air into the intake tube.

The SYNTHAFLOW filter media utilizes multiple layers of cotton gauze combined with a proprietary blend of synthetic materials, resulting in a superior filtration system that allows plenty of free-flowing air for maximum performance, but not at the cost of letting contaminants through. The SYNTHAMAX air filter media consists of an inner and outer layer of wire mesh which will not deform or collapse under high air flow. The inner filter media consists of two layers of proprietary synthetic materials that have separate performance characteristics, designed to work together for a combined function of outstanding air flow (low restriction) and exceptionally high filtration.

Air is directed through a new air intake tube constructed of cross-linked, high-density polyethylene designed using extensive computer modeling to maintain proper mass air flow readings and calibration. This MXP air intake system also features provisions for the factory mass airflow sensor.

Installation of either AIRAID MXP air intake system is fast and simple, with highly-detailed instructions. You need only a few basic tools and not more than a couple of hours to increase the power and responsiveness of your 6.2L Camaro. Cleaning your SYNTHAFLOW and SYNTHAMAX filter is simple: clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving, or more often if you’re driving off-road or in heavy dust conditions. If you have a SYNTHAMAX filter, spray it with the AIRAID 790-558 premium dry filter cleaning solution. If you have the SYNTHAFLOW filter, the 790-550 kit combines a bottle of cleaner with a bottle of specially-formulated filter oil.

The MXP air box incorporates an aluminum lid that provides easy access to the air filter

Both the AIRAID 250-333 and the 251-333 are designed to fit the following vehicles:

The cold air dam houses a massive nine-inch tall filter that can deliver the cool, fresh air

The LBZ Duramax features four valves per cylinder in aluminum cylinder heads and an iron block. Bore and stroke are close to square, at 4.06 in (103 mm) x 3.90 in (99 mm) respectively. The 2006-2007 Duramax LBZ produced a class-leading 360 horsepower and 650 lb·ft of torque.

Beyond the revised engine programming, other changes included: cylinder block casting and machining changes to strengthen the bottom of the cylinder bores, more durable main bearing materials, revised pistons that lowers the compression ratio to 16.8:1 from 17.5:1 to compensate for the improved fuel delivery, thicker connecting rod center sections, revised cylinder heads shaped for the best performance from the lower compression, maximum injection pressure increased from 23,000 psi to over 26,000 psi, all new seven hole fuel injectors provide better fuel dispersion, and also now spray directly onto glow plugs for faster cold start, and a more efficient variable-geometry turbocharger that delivers smooth and immediate response and lower emissions.

If there’s one thing that a turbocharged diesel wants more of, it’s intake air. More intake air can be compressed and accordingly the engine’s high-powered computer can add incremental fuel so that the burn is more energetic, producing increased power at the wheels. A fast, simple, and inexpensive way to increase the power of your LBZ-engine Sierra is the installation of an AIRAID 202-189 MXP air intake system.

The 202-189 cold air dam intake kit takes around 90 minutes to install with common hand tools

Another critical factor is the AIRAID premium air filter that’s housed inside the cold air dam providing outstanding air flow and filtration through its reusable, dry, non-woven synthetic filter media. Maintenance of the 202-189 is simple: clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving, or more often if you’re driving off-road or in heavy dust conditions, with AIRAID 790-558 premium dry filter cleaning solution.

Installation is of the 202-189 AIRAID MXP air intake system is fast and simple, with highly-detailed instructions. You need only a few basic hand tools and a couple of hours to increase the power and responsiveness of your LBZ-powered GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD truck.

Plus, the 202-189 MXP air intake system is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship or performance of this air filter, call us at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you. You don’t have to worry about a warranty card; AIRAID filters are warranted for life.
