Shoot ‘Em Up
For many years, multiple-carburetor setups have been a popular choice for rodders who want to add some extra power and visual appeal to their engines. However, these setups have traditionally been difficult to tune and keep in sync. The Barry Grant Six-Shooter solves these problems by using three 250cfm two-barrel carbs that are linked together with a well-designed throttle linkage system. The result is a system that looks great and performs even better.
Remembering Gene Winfield
The hot rod world just lost a titan—Gene Winfield, a guy who didn’t just customize cars, he straight-up reshaped the scene. Over seven decades of cutting, welding, painting, and innovating, Gene left behind a legacy that won’t ever fade, no matter how many coats of candy paint get sprayed in the future.
GOING PRO
Producing horsepower requires two major ingredients, namely, air and fuel. Of course, the two must be supplied in the correct proportions and at the proper time; but improving power is a simple matter of adding airflow. Naturally, additional fuel will be required once the airflow is improved, but the first item on the horsepower priority list should always be more airflow.
