A Rolling Stone Gathers No Rust
The wait is over for a quality set of 304 stainless steel headers for Third Gen F-bodies. Hawks Third Generation and Stainless Works have teamed up once again to make these 1.75-inch long-tube headers, which are designed specifically for both great performance and optimum ground clearance, with a 2.5-inch collector and off-road Y-pipe. This combo has easily supported more than 500 hp; however, those less concerned with ground clearance can opt for 3-inch collectors. The headers alone cost only $799.00 (or $1,049.00, with the 2.5-inch Y-pipe).

Fueling Sumo-Sized Horsepower
BG Fuel Systems King Sumo QQM fuel pump stays true to its name by supporting 750 to 2,000 hp EFI applications with 75 psi, while drawing fewer than 20 amps. Its new twin-spur gear design replaces the old Gerotor fuel pump with a quieter and less troublesome operation. There is a built-in, cleanable, pleated stainless steel fuel filter, and the machined billet aluminum pump contains no shaft seals, to eliminate fuel leaks. The King Sumo is a fuel-cooled external-style pump (not emissions-legal), which can be mounted horizontally or vertically without sacrificing performance. BG recommends picking up a BG Bypassing Regulator (PN 171023) to control the Sumo's fuel pressure, which has two -10AN inlets and a -6AN outlet, as well as two ports for fuel pressure gauges and a boostreferencing port.

Have Your Horsepower And Drive It, Too
When it comes to six-speeds, we all want to have our cake and eat it, too. Luckily for LT1 and LT4 owners, Centerforce has you covered with the DFX clutch and pressure plate (PN 01039020), which provides not only excellent holding power and strength, but driveability as well. Even heavily modified, high-torque Gen IIs can have livable pedal pressure and feel with the DFX's patented Centrifugal Weight System. It increases the holding capacity with rpm, ball-bearing design for light pedal effort and quick release, and nodular iron pressure plate-rings for added safety. The single metallic button-style disc has been tested using several different friction materials to bring the best combination to market.
