Billet Specialties Comp 5 Drag Wheels
There isn't much to say here, these wheels really speak for themselves. Once you get done staring at them, you can read about how these are the only wheel Billet Specialties makes from a 6061 T6 aluminum center, which assures a ton of strength and a true, even runout. They are SFI 15.2 and 15.1 rated and can be built for either a spindle mount or traditional bolt-on mount. The matching double bead-lock rears will handle whatever tire or power you can throw at them.

ARE LS7 Dry-Sump Upgrade
If you plan on doing any heavy corner carving in your C6 Z06, or plan on upgrading to a set of sticky race tires, you really need to look into upgrading the factory dry-sump system. As many unfortunate racers have already found out, GM's stock oil pan design isn't quite as good as it once seemed. Luckily, Armstrong Race Engineering (ARE) has been building dry-sump systems long before GM, and they have just released a direct replacement oil pan, along with a complete line of race-ready dry-sump replacement parts.

Based on Eaton TVS rotors, the E-Force supercharger comes complete with everything you could ever want for a factory-style install, without the hefty price tag of a new Z28.

Harrop Engineering
2010 Camaro Supercharger
Harrop Engineering has just released specs on its new HTV 1900 and 2300 supercharger systems, available for both the LS3- and L99-powered fifth-generation Camaro. Unique to the Harrop system is the center-mounted driveshaft, which really helps keep the blower compact and reliable. Of course, Harrop uses only the finest Eaton components inside, which can be spun fast enough to make some serious horsepower. On a stock engine, Harrop has told us to expect at least 500 hp and an OEM level of fit and finish.
