RACING EQUIPMENT NEWS CAMSHAFTS

Advantage

When selecting a camshaft there are many options to consider. One leading example is the technology and high-performance valve train options from COMP Cams.

Whether you are looking to give your street machine the classic 60’s muscle car sound with their Thumpr™ series of camshafts, add more power and torque with their Xtreme series, or are looking for a solid mechanical camshaft for your race application, COMP Cams has you covered.

30

DECEMBER 2017

COMP Cams Mechanical Camshafts are for race applications in all “Super� category cars. These cars are more than capable of running well under the 8.90 second index. In terms of performance, the crisp, immediate throttle response, excellent repeatability, and the fact that they are relatively easy on valve train parts, are why many racers turn to COMP Cams.

The aggressive mechanical camshafts lobe profiles are designed to withstand the highest of valve spring pressures. Like flat tappet camshafts, solid camshafts are noisier than those found in hydraulic systems.

These are pure race camshafts, not made for vehicle applications that require accessary drive equipment like power brakes or air conditioning. Racers need to fully assess their vehicle-based equipment and rear end gearing to achieve top performance. Unlike hydraulic camshafts, the roller lifters featured on a solid camshaft do not include an adjustment for valve train component expansion, and while more costly than flat tappet lifters, can be reused.

To further push your motor to top performance, regular lash adjustment service is required.

31

DECEMBER 2017

RACING RACING EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT NEWS NEWS C A M S H A F T CAMSHAFTS S

Small Kits offered by Comp Cams include camshaft, lifters, timing chain set, assembly lube, decals, and instructions.

These kits have been put together specifically by COMP Cams for the best performance match to your particular camshaft application. Each kit is manufactured to the strictest of standards.

COMP Cams can also custom grind camshafts for a wide variety of different applications at no charge over off-the-shelf grinds.

Linear valving provides a more stable car and allows the driver to feel the car better Founded in 1993 by Jim Jordan, QA1 introduced rod ends and spherical bearings specifically for the performance racing industry, quickly becoming the name in rod ends, spherical bearings, custom linkages and similar products to the motorsports industry.

In 1999, QA1 introduced racer revalveable and rebuildable shocks for circle track racing, saving racers time and money. Over the next six years, QA1 fine-tuned and expanded its product offering by adding several shocks and struts engineered for street performance and circle track applications. Designed for unparalleled repeatability, the 53 Series continues this tradition.

Light It UP!

Never an Afterthought in Design KC HiLITES Launches KC M-Rack Performance Roof Racks KC HILITES, Inc. has announced the launch of KC M-RACK performance roof racks.

KC M-RACKS is blueprinted uniquely for each vehicle featuring a precise fit and contour, lightweight aluminum construction and low-profile clearance. KC M-RACKs are designed with quality materials to meet and exceed heavy load requirements while allowing customization with accessories like built-in LED lighting. Designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA, KC M-RACKS is leading the forefront of roof rack design and manufacturing where form, fit and function collide.

hile the M-Rack is still a relatively new product, it’s origin dates back to the year 2008, when the idea of a form fitting roof rack was first conceived. The original prototype was developed in 2009 for a truck build.

Numerous design challenges presented themselves along the way, but were eventually overcome through research and design, and the quality M-Rack you see today is the finished product. There is no “universal” option for the M-Rack. Each rack is designed specifically for each vehicle model. While the overall look remains the same, the design is completely different. This allows us to offer a roof rack solution that looks like it belongs on your vehicle, rather than an afterthought.

Through the M-RACK product line, KC continues to expand on its mission to bring more performance built and rigorously tested products to its generations of adventure driven customers.

“We have created some very disruptive LED products and are excited to give customers an opportunity to expand their use of KC VIDEO About KC HiLites 39

Combined with performance lighting upgrades designed with purpose, M-RACK gives customers turnkey solutions to tackle even more with their vehicles.

“M-RACKS was created to deliver a sleek design that is custom fit for every vehicle while maintaining the functionality that every vehicle adventurer craves. The M-RACK combined with KC LED lighting produces a one of a kind combination for every vehicle enthusiast”, says Eric Wright, Co-Founder at KC M-RACK. KC M-RACK roof rack SKUs will include roof racks, roof rack kits with LED lighting and other modular roof rack accessories.

All of KC’s lighting products and roof racks are available for purchase directly from KCHILITES.com as well as its authorized distributors worldwide.

onventional 5W-20 Break-In Oil offers unmatched protection for internal components. BR20 promotes proper surface mating during the critical break-in process and chemically assists with piston ring sealing, thanks to a proprietary anti-wear formulation that doesn’t rely on conventional friction modifiers. It also features a low detergent level that allows the “fast burn” ZDDP additive to adhere directly to all ferrous metal wear surfaces for maximum scuffing protection.

DECEMBER 2017

Driven engineered BR20 for use in engines that call for the use of 0W-16, 0W-20 and 5W-20 viscosity oils, as well as for overhead cam engines with tight bearing clearances. It is good for dyno testing, one night of racing or up to 400 miles on the street, with no ZDDP or break-in additives required.Viscosity of typical of 5W-20.

Improved Over Original Driven has re-formulated its popular BR Break-In Oil to provide even better protection than the original. Customers may notice the 15W-50 weight oil’s lighter color, which Driven attributes to the additive package and detergent changes made as a result of testing in conjunction with Total Seal. The improved formula offers more than 30 percent better protection than the original version developed 12 years ago. “Because Driven constantly looks for ways to improve our 47

products, we do update formulas from time to time,” Certified Lubrication Specialist Lake Speed Jr. said. “This newest formula provides increased ring seal for better vacuum, less blow-by and more horsepower.”

Comparison testing showed the improved formula reduced the camshaft wear rate by 3.56 microns/hr during a traditional 30-minute break-in period, based on Adcole precision measurements. Driven’s conventional BR Break-In Oil is recommended by multiple camshaft manufacturers. It contains

optimum levels of Zinc and Phosphorous for maximum protection on flat tappet camshafts and lifters and the added film protection needed on aggressive roller valve trains during initial break-in, as well as promotes ring seal.

About Driven Racing Oil™ Driven Racing Oil™ utilizes cutting-edge lubricant technology and on-track research for maximum performance gains from all of its product offerings. Competition drives innovation, and Joe Gibbs Racing originally developed the Driven brand of oils to advance engine and driveline performance on the racetrack. From full-synthetic race oils to engine break-in oils and cleaners, Driven offers a wide range of race and street products that deliver performance, protection and value.
