Dancing on Asphalt

The Holley LS West Fest 2024 is a haven for automotive enthusiasts, where the asphalt becomes a stage for the most electrifying display of drifting mastery you’ve ever seen.

These drivers aren’t just racers, they’re artists, wielding their cars like brushes on a canvas, deliberately throwing them sideways through tight corners at breakneck speeds, the smoke from their tires painting the landscape with a vivid display of raw power and skill.

Gunning for Glory

TPI: TODAY’S PERFORMANCE INCREASE

There are few modifications that can be made to an engine that can give both increased performance and better fuel economy. In these days of increased gasoline prices (nearly $4.50 per gallon), fuel mileage is an important consideration for vintage trucks that owners consider their daily drivers. For many reasons, vintage pickups are becoming not just weekend toys but also weekday workers. And one of the best ways to increase both performance and mileage is with an electronic fuel-injection system.

Pedal to the Metal

The asphalt trembled beneath the thunderous roar of LS and LT-powered beasts as they descended upon the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for LS Fest West 2024. This wasn’t just a race; it was a showdown of epic proportions, where horsepower ruled and adrenaline flowed like never before.
