Flaming River 150-Amp Double Groove V-Belt Pulley HD Amp Alternator The new 150-amp Double Groove V-Belt Pulley HD Amp Alternator from Flaming River is designed to directly replace the 1963-85 square or round back-style Chrysler alternators. They are a one-size-fits-all solution for single field and dual field external voltage regulators. They feature excellent output at low speeds, with 100-120 amps at idle with a stock Mopar crankshaft pulley. The new alternators use a single rectifier plate with eight diodes which results in three times the output of the stock alternators, and keeps internal components cooler so they last longer.

Engineered as one of the world's fastest line of SUV tires! 5IF "UUVSP "; enhances the precision driving capabilities of today's hi -performance sport utilities vehicles.
The AZ850 is a performance tire designed for the modern SUV, Cross Over and Sport Truck to take advantage of the increased power and handling ability of these vehicles. The AZ850 asymmetric tread design features different inside and outside tire contours to achieve optimum balance across the tread face. This design evenly distributes the pressure of the contact surface to enhance comfort and handling. The unique compound and tread of the AZ 850 were specifically engineered for the contempory performance utility vehicle. The result is a rubber compound that helps reduce rolling resistance which in turn allows the tire to run cooler at high speeds. Hightensile steel belts and jointless bands increase stability at high speeds and provide secure braking, handling and durabilty. The large outer tread block is designed with a rigid and strengthened block to maintain integrity under hard cornering. Center rib improves straight-line driving - also enhancing directional stablity Obli Oblique lateral grooves increase water dispersion capacity in order to avoid hydroplaning

Drew has been bringing vehicles back to life since he was in his teens. “I restored my first dune buggy when I was 14,” says the Customers can get a firsthand look at some of their handywork by now-32 year-old who transitioned his love for restoration from a visiting their showroom decorated with airbrushed art created by hobby to a career. This past year, the team at Studz Custom Designs created a one-off 1958 Lister that took home three awards at its debuting show. Since this was a one-off build, there were no stock parts available; all the door handles, hood latches, steering column and the exhaust had to be machined, creating a work of art. The craftsmanship that went into this build exemplifies the company motto of integrating form and function into every build. No job is too big or small for the crew at Studz Custom Designs. Goldstone is the first to tell you that there is no way he could do this alone; he has a great team behind him working countless hours to make sure all the projects are finished with the utmost Goldstone himself, as well as a restored vintage gas pump and a quality. Our team boasts over 100 years of experience in the couch made from a ’55 pickup box. custom car field, providing you with knowledge and innovation that cannot be matched. Studz Custom Designs is located about a kilometre north of the Sumas border at Unit #112 – 663 Sumas Way in Abbotsford, B.C., One-off builds are not the only thing that the crew at Studz excel and is open five days a week.

Jeff Stephenson’s 1972 Chevy Nova Story and photos by Cam Hutchins
G
rowing up in Ontario, Jeff Stephenson had a 1969 Nova that was originally a six-cylinder car that he stuffed a 396 and 4-speed into and went racing. He remembers Novas being extremely rare back East, and that was part of the charm of running a Chevelle-beating monster. The car got sold 16 years ago and Stephenson headed West to B.C. One day, while working, he made a wrong turn and stumbled upon a 1972 Nova parked beside a garage in Maple Ridge. It did not have a ‘for sale’ sign but did have four flats. The car had been built for the owner’s wife who did not like driving it, so Stephenson asked if he would like to sell it. A deal was struck
and Stephenson had a freshly restored six-cylinder Nova to drive to work for the next five years. The paint was great and the interior was in super shape, but the memories of the big block car of his youth were strong. Over the 28 Performance Plus Dec 14 / jan 15

PERFORMANCE & MILEAGE past few years, Stephenson has been reading about many 427’s being built out of destroked 454’s, and wanted to try something like that for his latest little six-cylinder car.
Asymmetric Tread Design
He contacted Ron Walsh from Ron and Ron Engines out of Port Kells, and Walsh found a suitable block. Stephenson started an Easter hunt of sorts to find the perfect pieces. He sourced parts from Summit Racing and also used a Scat Crankshaft. Walsh provided GM 781 Heads and Stephenson picked up a Comp Cam and roller drivetrain from Mopac.

The choices for the best horsepower out of a destroked 454 have been highly documented, and they include the smaller valves that were used. The proof is on the dyno, and breathing through an 800cfm Holley Carb with an Edlebrock AirGap intake manifold and 2.25-inch headers, this little 454 puts out well over 500 horses. The transmission had to keep up, so a Turbo Hydramatic 400 out of a 1969 one-ton truck was found. A good choice, as it has an extremely durable casing. It was rebuilt with a 3,500stall converter and all-new Corvette performance parts with better quality clutches, valves and a deep pan. This transmission is built to take a beating and still stay together for the long haul. The long haul was going to be arduous, as this car was going to be

Painted British Racing Green when restored with a clearcoat, the paint has seen better days...or has it? Just like back in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, if you want to look bad ass, maybe having an over-the-top car built for speed and not a penny on paint makes that very clear. The choice of wheels is what really makes this Junkyard Dog look ready to do battle. Stock steel Corvette wheels

he annual running of the SEMA (Speciality Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada gives aftermarket automotive manufacturers and OE manufacturers the perfect setting to display their latest and greatest products to people involved in the automotive industry. It is the premier automotive speciality products trade event in the world but also provides opportunities for educational seminars, product demonstrations, special events and networking opportunities. The 2014 iteration ran from November 4th-7th at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and was one of the biggest shows to date, with over 125,000 people in attendance as well as thousands of exhibitors. The show, as always, seemed to have it all from brand new 2015 Ford F-150â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already decked out before they even hit the market, to incredible hot rods and sports cars with the latest available styling and performance upgrades. Another highlight of the show worth mentioning was the New Product Showcase that featured over 2,000 product entries with the best products receiving awards in their various categories. We once again were lucky enough to attend the show, and present to you a small pictorial of some of what we were able to see.

One-on-One: Richard Rawlings

RPM: What was the first car you owned?
D
iscovery Channel’s hit TV show Fast N’ Loud is a reality-style show that follows the exploits of the Dallas, Texas-based Gas Monkey Garage, specifically owner Richard Rawlings, master mechanic Aaron Kaufman and their crew. The show has continued to gain popularity ever since it debuted back in 2012, and now in its fifth season, it’s more popular than ever. Due to the success, Rawlings was able to move the business to a much bigger location, and has even been able to open a successful Bar and Grill using the Gas Monkey name. We had a chance to sit and chat with Richard at the recent 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. RPM: How did you develop your passion for cars? Was there an influence from family? Richard Rawlings: Growing up, my Dad always worked two or three jobs at once so he could always afford to have one toy - a car or motorcycle. Plus I would tag along with him to car shows and help him work on them. I saw the enjoyment he got from that and it just went from there.
RR: A 1974 Mercury Comet which I slightly customized by adding Keystone wheels and Toyo Tires. I had to work in order to pay it off. RPM: When and how did Gas Monkey Garage start? RR: I built a successful printing and marketing company from the ground up which had over 25 employees by the time I sold it. I used that money to start Gas Monkey Garage with the ultimate goal of doing the show. RPM: So you originally started GMG with an eye towards doing a TV show about it? RR: Yes, when I first put the idea out there, I was told I wouldn’t be able to do a car building show in the same style as the motorcycle ones like American Choppers. I said screw that, started Fast N’ Loud and it’s been successful ever since. I wanted to do something that was a little more wholesome then the constant swearing and fighting on some other shows out there. That’s not to say we don’t push the boundaries a little bit, but all in all it’s a show the whole family can watch together. RPM: Where does the name Gas Monkey come from? RR: Gas Monkey doesn’t come from grease monkey as many people may think. A monkey is something that can at times be wild and crazy, but is still very loveable. I think that describes what we’re all about and it sounded cool so we went with it. RPM: How did you originally meet Aaron? How did you choose him as master mechanic for GMG? RR: Aaron did some work for me when he was about 20 years old when I still owned the printing and advertising business. I thought he did good work, so when the time came, I told him my idea for Gas Monkey Garage and he said he was in.

RR: Not really. I watched the first few episodes at the beginning but found I would just critique myself. I’ll glance at it every now and then but not every episode. RPM: What’s been your favourite car you’ve done so far?
RPM: How often are you actually in the shop yourself?
RR: One would definitely be the badass Chevrolet C-10 pickup truck that’s here at SEMA. Another would have to be the 1932 Ford 3window coupe we did back in the first season of the show.
RR: Every day from 8am-6pm.
RPM: How is the Gas Monkey Bar RPM: Has the TV show been beneficial to the busi- and Grill doing? ness? RR: Awesome. We RR: In short, yes.
