Seals-It Firewall Grommet Sealing System
A clean firewall is a sure sign of attention to detail, and Earl's Performance Products has added a way to sanitize those pass-throughs. These unique firewall seals stretch to allow a fitting to pass through, yet also grip the hose, keeping out fumes and debris. Seals-It firewall grommets are made from a fire-retardant, space-age rubber bonded to an anodized aluminum bezel, which is installed with pop rivets or sheetmetal screws. The outer aluminum outer bezel for all seven grommets is dimensionally the same; the difference is in the opening on the rubber seal, allowing Seals-It firewall grommets to work directly with all styles of Earl's hose and fittings.

Nitro Blast Extreme-Performance Brake Rotors
Using a bit of cold therapy in a spot that's usually hot, Power Stop's Nitro Blast slotted brake rotors are cryogenically processed at -300 degrees F and then heated, a process that actually improves the properties of the disc material. The rotors are then stress-relieved to prevent cracking and warping. This results in a stable rotor with a larger, smoother contact area that is highly resistant to abrasion. According to Power Stop, Nitro Blast cryogenically treated, slotted brake rotors will last twice as long as conventional rotors.

Nitrous Express E85-Compatible Nitrous Systems
Proving that even skyrocketing gas prices can't keep a serious gearhead down, Nitrous Express has introduced the first of many E85-compatible nitrous systems. The new kits are very similar to existing setups, but have a recalibrated fuel-delivery side and upgraded solenoids to handle the ethanol that makes up most of E85. According to NX, E85's extremely high octane rating and relatively low price gives street guys a fuel they can run in a high-compression, nitrous-boosted engine without fear of detonation. A multitude of setups are available, delivering shots ranging from 35 all the way up to 1,000 hp.
