PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: DYNAMAT XTREME RACE BOND
Available exclusively through SRI Performance, Race Bond is a fast-bonding crash-repair material designed to help crews make strong, durable trackside repairs and get damaged race cars back into the action. It is quick, versatile, and built to survive the heat, vibration, and punishment that would make ordinary repair tape wave the white flag.

Gear, Grit, & The Great Outdoors
Overland Expo Mountain West 2024 just wrapped up, and if you weren’t there, you missed out on one heck of a great weekend. Held from August 23-25 in Loveland, Colorado, this event was the ultimate gathering for anyone who lives and breathes off-road adventure. We’re talking thousands of overlanding die-hards, hundreds of exhibitors, and more gear than you could shake a winch at.

Hardcore Style Meets Hardcore Performance
These tall-style, die-cast aluminum valve covers aren’t just for looks. The taller profile offers plenty of rocker arm clearance, making them perfect for performance builds running aftermarket valvetrain components. Each cover is highly polished to a mirror-like shine, then CNC-machined with the HARDCORE Manowar logo in blue — a subtle but unmistakable statement that your Ford isn’t just another small block.
Built to Last
Made from heavy-duty die-cast aluminum, these covers are more rigid than typical stamped steel versions, meaning fewer leaks and a better seal over time. The polished finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup easier after a hard run. Whether you’re chasing show points or horsepower, these covers can hang in both worlds.
Limited Quantity, Big Savings
Because these valve covers are from BMP’s discontinued crate engine program, stock is limited — and so is the price. Normally $274, they’re now only $75. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
