Got Torque?
If you're in the market for a new torque wrench, leave behind old-school torque sticks and step into 2007 with Snap-on's hyper-accurate Quick Set Electronic Torque Wrench.This particular wrench is designed specifically for those who frequently change tires, and comes with five pre-settings for the most common lug nut torque: 80, 100, 120, 140, and 150 lb-ft. A lockout feature prevents unwanted preset changes, and a Yellow-Green-Red light indicator warns the user when the desired torque is reached.

The 700-R4 Finally Gets Some Love
The maligned and often ridiculed 700-R4 finally gets some help in dissuading its non-believers with TCI's Constant Pressure Valve Body. Incorrect TV cable installation is the most common cause of 700-R4 transmission failure, so TCI designed a valvebody to constantly supply 200 psi of line pressure. No longer will a disconnected or improperly adjusted TV cable, for internal line pressure or part throttle shifting, be the cause of your transmission meltdown within a matter of a few miles. You'll have to do it the old fashioned way, with plenty of horsepower and long smoky burnouts.

Brake Like A Pro
If you thought your C6 or C6 ZO6 had some pretty impressive braking from the factory, imagine if you had AP Racing's six-piston binders and 14.88-inch (378 mm) cross-drilled and slotted two-piece rotors. Drawing upon the C6.R heritage, AP Racing's kit offers impressive performance while being compatible with the factory master cylinder and ABS system.Best of all, the big brake kit still fits behind stock C6 ZO6 wheels. Caliper mounting brackets, stainless steel brake lines, Mintex Xtreme brake pads and all the necessary high-grade hardware is included. The Mintex pads are good from 0 to 1300 degrees F, and work at cold as well as high temps. The AP600 is available in black with yellow lettering, and also in red with black script (AP600R).
