Tool Steel Retainers
When it comes to the valvetrain, weight is the enemy. Parts last longer and engines make more power with light parts. Strength is key, which is why Comp offers these lightweight tool steel retainers. They are about 33 percent lighter than the conventional chrome-moly steel and only about 2-4 grams heavier than titanium. These retainers are CNC-designed using the latest FEA and CAD software and are SpinTron-tested. Comp's retainers are available for 1.437- to 1.500-inch dual valvesprings and accept 10-degree locks.

Turn-In
F-Body Manual Steering KitFor drag racers, not all manual steering racks from a Pinto will fit. And when they do, they have a tendency to create a bit of bumpsteer. To eliminate this, BMR offers a new line of complete bolt-in manual rack systems for '98-02 F-bodies. Features include 2-inch primary-tube header clearance and rack extensions that are biased to the passenger side. The kit also comes with bearing-style U-joints, double-threaded tie-rod ends, CNC-machined bump spacers, and QA-1 XR-series rod ends.
