PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: DIESELSITE’s Stand Pipe and Dummy Plug Kit for 2004.5–2010 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke

If you’re a Ford 6.0L Powerstroke owner, you already know the score. The factory stand pipes are a disaster waiting to happen, and most of the aftermarket replacements aren’t much better. Torn o-rings, flimsy oil ports, and cheap materials? Yeah, those sound like problems you don’t want to deal with when you’re halfway through a road trip or hauling a trailer up a steep grade. But don’t worry—DIESELSITE has your back with their Stand Pipe and Dummy Plug Kit, a complete overhaul of the weak link in your 6.0L system.

GOLDEN ARCHES

As enthusiasts, when we build our cars, we tend to stuff as much tire under those cars as possible. This is especially important for rear tires that hook the car to the ground while improving its stance. For those interested in drag-racing their cars, you will need to accommodate larger rear tires or slicks. The current hot trend is the 10.5-inch slick, which seems to work well on many applications, but depending on the make and model of your car, it may require modifications to enlarge the rear wheel openings to accommodate the larger rubber.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Smeding Performance’s 408″ LS3

Product Spotlight: Artec Industries APEX Axle Truss – Strengthen Your Jeep’s Foundation

If you’re wheeling a Jeep Wrangler JL, you know the factory axles are decent for the daily grind—but get rowdy with bigger tires or gnarly trails, and they’ll cry uncle faster than you can say “diff fluid leak.” Enter the Artec Industries APEX Truss, a killer upgrade for your front and rear axles that doesn’t just add strength—it revolutionizes the game.

LS1 CAM SWAP AND DYNO TEST

When it comes to adding power to your small-block Chevy, the camshaft is an integral part of the performance equation. Luckily for owners of Chevy’s latest iteration (Gen III) of the famous small block, the modern fuel-injected LS1 responds just as well to camshaft upgrades as the LT1s, L79s and L48s of old. Naturally, cam technology has come a long way since the days of the Duntov 30-30 profile. The improvements in cam technology are important, as the new LS1 is head and shoulders above any of the old ’60s and ’70s muscle-car small blocks, regardless of the advertised power ratings.
