Written by Moore Good Ink Wilson, a leading name in performance and racing induction systems, has expanded its repertoire and announced an amazing new intake system for all 5.9 liter common-rail Cummins engines from 2003-2007. Depending upon the state of tune, the Thrasher can generate in excess of 300 extra ft-lb of torque, or with lighter throttle use, the equivalent in fuel savings. In contrast with the OEM arrangement, this new induction system provides greater equality of air-fuel distribution, especially in the cruise zone of 2,000 to 2,250 rpm. As a result, the Thrasher generates not only amazing gains in both torque and fuel economy but also improves horsepower output, lowers exhaust gas temperatures, reduces exhaust emissions, and improves drivability. Check out the results from the strict disciplines of the dynamometer graphs above. One graph demonstrates the gains in both torque and horsepower of the Wilson Thrasher manifold when compared with the OEM manifold, both of which are tested with a standard ECU. In the other, both are tested with an aftermarket ECU. What is more, the greater the power improvements made to this engine, the greater the performance or economy benefits of the Thrasher. In simple terms, the Thrasher requires less accelerator pedal action to pull, tow, or cruise; therefore, it uses less fuel. The Wilson Thrasher kit contains a cast alloy elbow, billet baseplate, stainless/Viton rubber gasket, and all necessary fasteners. Installation takes about two hours. Wilson: Leaders in induction technology–Competition intake manifolds, New Thrasher intake (5.9L Cummins diesels), Throttle Bodies and Elbows (naturally aspirated and forced induction), Carburetor Spacers, and the award-winning Nitrous ProFlow systems. For further information,...

Written by Moore Good Ink Jupiter, FL, Oct. 28: On Saturday, November 8, Palm Beach International Raceway will open its gates for the first event on the newest of all-concrete drag race surfaces in the country! After months of rebuilding, this well-known Jupiter, FL, race facility will again offer racers the opportunity to test and tune their vehicles. The PBIR staff and management are looking forward to providing the racers with a great track and a positive experience! Gates open 9AM with racing 10AM to 5PM. Race entry $50, crew/spectator entry $15 each and children 12 years and under no charge when accompanied by a parent. On Sunday, November 9, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits and his Swamp Fuel Rat VI top fuel dragster, the first drag car to exceed 200 mph back in 1964, will feature in the previously hailed Dick Moroso Classic Car Show and Nostalgia Drag Race. Also included in the fun will be the Southern Slingshots plus Rocky Pirone and Dave Sano in their nostalgia Funny Cars. The show portion will present many historic factory racecars from the 1960’s, and a herd of street and customs rods will be judged by the South East Rods & Customs. To ensure its flatness, this new all-concrete track has recently been milled and polished. Prior to milling, it was “Profilographed,” a laser measuring EKG-like procedure that identifies any high or low areas in the track surface. The timing apparatus is the latest state-of-the-art Compulink system, the official timing mechanism of the NHRA. The new Trans-Lux scoreboards feature all-green LED bulbs and 48-inch tall digits which read to 1/1000th of...

Written by Moore Good Ink Sunday, Oct 12, 2008: Cameron Coble not only won the NMCA Xtreme Street race at Memphis, TN, this past weekend but also claimed the Xtreme Street Championship for 2008 and lowered the track record to 7.85 @ 176 mph. Driving his 2004 Mustang, this is Coble’s second Extreme Street championship win and third consecutive championship win for NPF. The 41 year old Coble succeeded with an NPF single-stage direct-port nitrous kit. In common with Cameron Coble, runner-up Danny Shemwell also runs an NPF single-stage direct-port nitrous system. Sunday, Oct 12, 2008: NPF (Nitrous Pro Flow) runner Jeff Knox won the NMCA Tremec True Street events at Bowling Green, Atlanta, and Memphis and in so doing seized the 2008 championship. At all three venues, Knox set track records. His Nova runs an NPF single-stage direct port, single-stage plate with 15 lb NPF bottles and an NPF 2-stage nitrous controller. His was the first true street car to run in the 7-second zone. Sunday, Oct 12, 2008: John Urist claimed his third consecutive NMCA Super Street Outlaw championship (his fourth championship wins overall). Urist, on the recommendation of his engine builder Jim Kuntz, has used a Wilson throttle body, elbow, intake manifold, and fuel rails during his remarkable three-year winning spree. Sunday, Oct 12, 2008: Using a Wilson throttle body and Billet elbow, Spiro Pappas won the 2008 NMCA Super Street championship, while the 2008 Hot Street championship winner, Charlie Booze, won with a Wilson competition-ported intake manifold.
