New Vintage Carbs
Inspired by the growing popularity of old-school hot rods, Demon Carburetion has joined this niche market with the introduction of the Demon 98 carburetor. This retro two-barrel high-performance carburetor, designed to fit '30s-style three-bolt intake manifolds, can be fitted singly or in multiples, and it is a replacement for the Stromberg 97. Rated at around 205 cfm (per unit), the 98 is designed to accept period-style air cleaners or air horns. It also employs many commonly available service parts, facilitates a choke, and operates at 6 to 7 psi of fuel pressure. The Demon 98 is available in a standard gold retro look, with an optional chrome finish available at a later date.

These plug-in modules can be easily installed in less than 30 minutes with no tools required.

Make a Big Truck Bigger
Pro Comp Suspension is now making a 6-inch suspension system for the '07 Toyota Tundra Double Cab. One-piece drop-down crossmembers and high-strength extended steering knuckles preserve factory suspension and steering geometry. Stage II systems feature MX 2.75c-series coilover front shocks and MX6 adjustable rear shocks. Stage I systems are available with spacers for the factory front struts and ES9000 rear shock absorbers. The added 6 inches of lift allows the use of 35-inch tires with no need to cut any sheetmetal.

Go Lower
Belltech now offers a low-profile transmission crossmember for all '04-and-later Colorados/Canyons. A gain of 2-1/4 inches of clearance is achieved using this crossmember. Belltech's low-profile design reduces the risk of bottoming out on extremely lowered trucks. The crossmembers are designed to exceed OEM load specifications and are a direct replacement of the factory unit. All crossmembers are Heliarc-welded and powdercoated for a lasting finish.
