SEMA’s latest tools and equipment preview highlights a bigger truth for performance builds: accurate diagnostics, measurement, torque control, safe lifting and documentation matter as much as the parts.

Wheels, tires, suspension, alignment, bumpers and windshields can change the geometry that cameras and radar rely on. Here is a practical ADAS planning checklist for modified vehicles.

Holley LS Fest East returns September 11–13, 2026. Use this nine-point pre-event checklist to inspect tires, driveline hardware, cooling, fuel pressure, fluids, data logs, brakes, suspension, and safety equipment before your LS- or LT-powered car reaches Bowling Green.

Holley has added new Gen V LT EFI Top-End Kits combining Lo-Ram or Ultra Lo-Ram intake hardware, a 102mm Sniper throttle body and 42, 100 or 120 lb/hr injector choices. Here’s how to think about airflow, boost, fuel, clearance and calibration before choosing a package.

A driveshaft can be strong enough for four-digit horsepower and still have a separate speed limit. Using Driveshaft Shop’s 2009-2015 CTS-V aluminum and carbon-fiber shafts as a real-world example, SMG explains driveshaft critical speed, why shaft rpm differs from engine rpm, and what to check before choosing a performance driveshaft.

GM says the road-going C8 Corvette Z06 now shares about 80% of its engine components with the Z06 GT3.R race car. Here’s what that race-bred LT6 architecture means when choosing intake, exhaust and dyno-tested performance upgrades.

PennGrade 1 has added a new full synthetic high-performance oil line. Here is what 5W-30 vs. 5W-40 really means for boosted, high-RPM and track-driven engines, and why oil temperature, clearances and real data matter more than horsepower alone.

McLeod’s new 950-hp RST HD twin-disc combines organic and segmented ceramic friction. Here’s how to choose a clutch by power delivery, use case, flywheel, heat and drivetrain shock—not just a horsepower number.

Two 550-hp Dodge Charger SIXPACK Scat Packs were transformed into 750-hp drift cars for Roadkill Nights. The builds reveal why boost control, fuel delivery, heat management, driveline capacity and chassis setup all have to advance together on a serious turbo build.
