Powerhouse Products Piston Vise
A favorite of both novice and professional engine builders, the Powerhouse Products Piston Vise is new and improved for even better piston grip and overall versatility. Built to handle a wide range of pistons from small engine to very large bore V8’s, the vise incorporates a new “curved jaw” design to increase contact with the piston skirt area and avoid the delicate ring lands.
It locates and holds the piston by the wrist pin openings. Once it's set up, you can just drop subsequent pistons into the vise and lock them in place. It will even hold a piston upside down for balancing or lightening operations. The compound angle feature not only allows the piston to rotate from front to back, but also from side to side (necessary for Ford and Big Block Chevy pistons). In addition, the ultra-rigid Powerhouse Products Piston Vice is perfect for precision piston milling operations such as cutting valve pockets, and contains provisions for securely fastening the unit to a milling table.

ZEX & Champion Performance Spark Plugs From rhs
ZEX spark plugs feature “Igniter Core Technology,” which allows them to conduct electricity over five times better than platinum and nearly three times better than iridium. This results in more horsepower producing spark energy and greater detonation resistance than either of these materials, and are a natural choice for RHS.
Champion, a great name in advanced racing spark plug design, has created a line of top performing racing plugs for RHS that incorporates Heat-Active alloy, resulting in maximum heat dissipation and conductivity to maintain stable operating temperatures.

Retrotek Boss EFI
RetroTek Speed’s revolutionary billet throttle body resembles a custom dual feed 4150-style carb, replacing the carburetor. It is identical in all critical dimensions to a 4150 and features four high-pressure port-style injectors placed strategically above the throttle plates, providing optimum fuel atomization and power output.
The Stage II Engine Management System has an “adaptive learning” feature that self-tunes as you drive. It takes its information from a wideband O2 sensor and control module. No welding is necessary for the O2 sensor installation, thanks to an O2 sensor clamp that attaches to the exhaust.
Two sizes of throttle bodies are available: the BossEFI 750 for up to 550hp, and the BossEFI 1200 for 550hp and larger engines. Dual BossEFI and supercharged and turbo BossEFIs are also available. Systems include all wiring, sensors and instructions. Installation takes about six hours.
