Yellow Fever/Black Magic

(NARRATOR)>> WELCOME TO ENGINE POWER, WHERE WE HELP YOU CREATE BIG POWER FROM YOUR RIDE. TODAY WE'LL ALSO SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO WITH IT. WE'RE ATTENDING THE HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVER'S EDUCATION PROGRAM AT THE NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM RACE TRACK. FROM IN CLASS SESSIONS, TO TRACK TIME WITH YOUR CAR.

(MIKE)>> HEY EVERYBODY, WELCOME TO ENGINE POWER. TODAY IS THE FINALE OF THE 2016 RISLONE MUSTANG SWEEPSTAKES CAR. NOW IT'S BEEN BADGED THE RS-700 AND FOR GOOD REASON. WITH THE PRO CHARGER INTERCOOLED SETUP WE SHOULD MAKE WELL OVER 700 AT THE FLYWHEEL. NOW THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO MAKE 610 HORSEPOWER AT THE TIRES ON OUR DYNOJET DYNO. NOW BEFORE WE MAKE ANY NOISE HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT YOU COULD WIN, AND EVENTUALLY PARK IN YOUR GARAGE.

(PAT)>> WOO, AND AS ALWAYS, THE BUILD STARTS WITH A BASELINE. [ engine revving ]

(PAT)>> WE'LL MAKE ALL THE RUNS IN FIFTH GEAR, WHICH IS ONE TO ONE IN THE TRANS. FIRST RIP 357 HORSE, 350 FOOT POUNDS OF TORQUE.

(MIKE)>> I THINK WE CAN GET A 60 OR 61 OUT OF IT.

(PAT)>> YEAH, ALL THESE ARE REGULAR CARS LIKE THIS ARE IN THAT RANGE. I MEAN THIS IS CLOSE. NOW THAT IT'S GOT A LITTLE TEMP IN THE REAR END AND TRANS, MAKE ANOTHER BANG ON IT... WE TYPICALLY MAKE TWO OR THREE RUNS TO GET A SOLID BASELINE AVERAGE. [ engine revving ]

(PAT)>> ALL RIGHT, 351 HORSE, TORQUE DROPPED JUST A LITTLE BIT AT 349.

(MIKE)>> PULL THREE WAS THE FINAL RUN IN THIS TRIM. IT WAS VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER ONES. THIS TIME IT MADE...

(PAT)>> 354 HORSE, 342 FOR TORQUE. THAT'S NOT BAD. IT'S TIME TO PUT ON SOME WORK SHIRTS AND DO A LITTLE WORK.

(MIKE)>> AND HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT WE GOT TO WORK WITH. LATE MODEL RESTORATION, OR LMR FOR SHORT, STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND SUPPLIED SEVERAL PARTS THAT WILL ENHANCE OUR MUSTANG'S HANDLING, BRAKING, AND RIDE QUALITY. NOW FIRST UP IS THIS AWESOME FORD RACING PERFORMANCE PACK SIX PISTON BRAKE KIT. NOW IT COMES WITH 15 INCH VENTED ROTORS AND SIX PISTON ALUMINUM BREMBO CALIPERS. FOR THE HANDLING DEPARTMENT LMR BROUGHT A TRACK HANDLING PACK, WHICH WILL PUT A LITTLE ROAD RACE INTO ANY LATE MODEL MUSTANG. NOW ALL THE COMPONENTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER. THE SYSTEM LOWERS THE CAR ABOUT ONE INCH FOR A MORE AGGRESSIVE STANCE, AND THIS WHOLE SETUP HAS A FOCUS ON BETTER HANDLING OUT AT THE TRACK. DUE TO THAT MASSIVE FRONT KIT, WHEELS AND TIRES WERE ALSO PUT ON THE BUILD LIST. NOW THESE ARE FROM LMR'S IN HOUSE WHEEL BRAND, SVE. THIS IS THE SERIES THREE IN A GLOSS BLACK FINISH. IT HAS A MACHINE LIP AND CHROME RIVETS ALL THE WAY AROUND. NOW THE SPLIT SPOKE DESIGN GIVES IT A KILLER MODERN LOOK. WE'RE GONNA BE 20 BY EIGHT AND A HALVES UP FRONT, 20 BY 10'S IN THE REAR. AND ALL OF THEM ARE WRAPPED IN NITTO ENVO TIRES.

(LANDON)>> HOW'S IT GOING EVERYONE!

(MIKE)>> THEY EVEN SENT ONE OF THEIR OWN. LANDON IS TASKED WITH HANDLING ALL THEIR YOUTUBE INSTALL VIDEOS. HE WAS DEFINITELY QUALIFIED TO GIVE US A HAND. AFTER THE TEARDOWN THE NEW PARTS STARTING GOING ON. HERE'S A QUICK LOOK AT SOME OF THEM. INSTALLING THE NEW BAR TAKES A LITTLE PATIENCE TO GET IT POSITIONED. IT COMES WITH NEW BUSHINGS AND BRACKETS. THE STRUTS ATTACH TO THE STRUT TOWER FIRST AND ARE SECURED WITH NEW NUTS FROM THE KIT. NOW THE SPINDLE IS POSITIONED TO THE STRUT AND SECURED WITH THE ORIGINAL SPLINED FASTENERS. WITH NEW BACKING PLATES, THE BIG FRONT BRAKES WENT ON AS WELL, CALIPER BRACKETS, AND MONSTER SIX PISTON CALIPERS. THIS IS THE COMPLETED LOOK. OUT BACK WE REPLACED THE SPRINGS, SOME BUSHINGS, THE SHOCKS, AND THE SWAY BAR. THEN A PRO CHARGER STAGE TWO SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED WITH THE NEW PONEX HEAD UNIT. THE GETRAG MT-82 TRANS WENT AWAY AND A TREMEC MAGNUM XL FROM AMERICAN POWERTRAIN FILLED THE TUNNEL. NOW IT'S TIME TO GET THE FINAL RESULTS ON THE DYNO. ALSO FINALIZED ARE ALL THE LOGOS AND STRIPPING YOU'RE LOOKING AT. DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SWAP FOURTH GEAR IS ONE TO ONE WITH THE NEW TREMEC. FELT STRONG!

(PAT)>> 636, 500 FOR TORQUE, THAT'S PRETTY STOUT!

(MIKE)>> YOU CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. GOTTA LOVE A STAGE TWO.

(PAT)>> DO ANOTHER BANG TANGO ON HER THERE. [ engine revving ]

(PAT)>> GOT A LITTLE HEAT SOAK IN IT, 630, 476.

(MIKE)>> YOU CANNOT ASK FOR ANY BETTER POWER THAN THAT WITH A BOLT ON KIT THAT TAKES ABOUT SIX HOURS TO INSTALL.

(PAT)>> THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE EASIEST INSTALLATIONS FOR POWER GAIN THERE IS. IT'S DOWN RIGHT IMPRESSIVE.

(MIKE)>> YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE OUT ON THE ROAD TODAY?

(PAT)>> IT MIGHT BE PRETTY SPICY.

(MIKE)>> IT'D BE WRAPPED AROUND A TELEPHONE POLE CAUSE IT'S BEEN RAINING ALL MORNING.

(PAT)>> WHOEVER GETS THIS CAR THEY ARE GOING TO BE IMPRESSED.

(MIKE)>> ABSOLUTELY, I CAN'T WAIT TO DRIVE IT. WE'LL WAIT UNTIL THE STREET DRIES UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT SHE'S GONNA BE FUN.

(PAT)>> YOU THINK THEY'LL LET ME REGISTER TO WIN IT?

(MIKE)>> POSSIBLY!

(PAT)>> ALL RIGHT, NICE JOB.

(MIKE)>> GREAT, AWESOME!

(MIKE)>> BY NOW YOU RECOGNIZE THIS TRACK. THE NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM'S MOTORSPORTS PARK, A 200 ACRE FACILITY WITH OVER THREE MILES OF CAREFULLY DESIGNED ROAD COURSE TRACK. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE IT SO CLOSE AND USE IT OFTEN TO TEST OUR LATEST CREATIONS, RAIN OR SHINE, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME MISCONCEPTIONS. THIS CHALLENGING LAYOUT IS NOT JUST FOR CORVETTE ENTHUSIASTS. IN FACT, ON SEVERAL WEEKENDS PER YEAR THE CORVETTE IS OUTNUMBERED BY EVERYTHING FROM MIATAS, SUV'S, SPORTS CARS OF ALL TYPES, EVEN RENTAL CARS. THEY'RE HERE FOR NCM'S HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVER'S INTRODUCTION, OR HPDI, TO LEARN, PRACTICE, AND APPLY ADVANCE CAR CONTROL SKILLS. ( )>> YOU'LL LEARN TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE FLAG STATIONS, AND EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON ON TRACK, WHAT MARKERS MEAN, ALL THE BASICS. IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT DAY. ( )>> THIS IS A TOTAL DIFFERENT MINDSET ONCE YOU HIT THAT RACE TRACK, OKAY, AND IT'S NOT I'M SPEED RACER. I'M GONNA GO OUT THERE AND REALLY KIT BUT. NO, IT'S OKAY, MY VISUAL AWARENESS HAS TO REALLY RAMP UP AND INCREASE. I REALLY GOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT MY HANDS ARE DOING, GOTTA PAY ATTENTION TO MY MIRRORS MORE. I'VE REALLY GOT TO FOCUS.

(MIKE)>> THESE INTENSE PROGRAMS ARE LED BY HIGHLY TRAINED INSTRUCTORS FOR THREE SEPARATE SKILL LEVELS, ADVANCED, INTERMEDIATE, AND NOVICE, WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE TEACHING TODAY. STUDENTS WILL LEARN CORNERING, BRAKING, AND DRIVING FUNDAMENTALS. WE BROUGHT OUR SCION PROJECT WE MODIFIED EARLIER THIS YEAR, NOT FOR ME OR PAT, BUT FOR ANDREW SCHENK, A VALUED MEMBER OF OUR MARKETING TEAM. HE'S NO STRANGER TO FAST CARS.

(ANDREW)>> I HAVE TWO CARS RIGHT NOW THAT I LOVE GOING OUT AND DRIVING RIGHT NOW, THE 1986 MUSTANG GT. I THINK THAT YEAR HAD ABOUT 200 HORSEPOWER. THE 2004 DODGE VIPER, IT'S ABOUT 500 HORSE FACTORY, BUT IT'S FRUSTRATING YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE NICE CARS LIKE THIS YOU CAN'T REALLY TAKE THEM OUT AND LEGALLY HAVE FUN WITH THEM LIKE THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR.

(MIKE)>> AND WE ALSO BROUGHT HIM SOME SAFETY EQUIPMENT, WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR THE COURSE. NOW ALL KINDS OF COMPANIES MAKE HELMETS, SHOES, GLOVES, AND FIRE SUITS. RACEQUIP IS ONE OF THEM. THEY OFFER A QUALITY PRODUCT AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. NOW IF YOU SPENT MOST OF YOUR MONEY ON THE COURSE ITSELF AND CAN'T AFFORD A HELMET OFF THE BAT, NO BIG DEAL. THEY RENT THEM INSIDE. ( )>> YES, THIS WILL BE EMBARRASSING.

(MIKE)>> STUDENTS WILL ATTEND FOUR SESSIONS IN THE CLASSROOM, WITH TRACK TIME IN BETWEEN.

(ANDREW)>> YOU KNOW HONESTLY I'M A LITTLE ANXIOUS. IT WAS COOL TO HEAR ALL THESE TERMS THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT. ( )>> SO A LATE APEX CORNER IS ALWAYS SAFER.

(ANDREW)>> APEX OF THE TURN, YOU'VE HEARD IT USED BEFORE BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S ACTUALLY A BLUE MARKER ON THE TRACK. SO I'M PRETTY EXCITED TO GET OUT THERE AND START SEEING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT. ( )>> WELL WE'LL GO SEE HOW IT WORKS RIGHT?

(ANDREW)>> YEAH, YEAH.

(MIKE)>> ANDREW'S GROUP WILL BE WITH INSTRUCTOR RANDY SLOMIAN. HE'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR FIVE YEARS NOW.

(RANDY)>> THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BE A BIT MORE INTRODUCTORY. IT'S A LOT OF LEAD, FOLLOW. THEY GET I THINK ABOUT TWO AND A HALF TO THREE HOURS OF BUTT TIME IN THE CAR ON THE TRACK WHERE THEY'RE DRIVING. WE START SLOW AND BUILD UP AS WE GO THROUGH. BUILD THEM CONFIDENCE. IT'S MOSTLY ABOUT TRACK AWARENESS. LET'S ROLL!

(MIKE)>> THAT'S RANDY IN THE RED VETTE, WITH ANDREW AND COMPANY CLOSE BEHIND. GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE TRACK AND YOUR RIDE IS THE GOAL FOR THIS SESSION.

(ANDREW)>> I HAD NEVER DRIVEN ON A TRACK BEFORE. HE WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR A LITTLE BIT. SO AT FIRST I WAS JUST TRYING TO FOLLOW HIM AND TRY TO KEEP UP AS CLOSE AS I COULD.

(RANDY)>> OKAY, AS WE GO THROUGH ONEA, ONEB HERE, SET UP TO THE LEFT, TURN IN A BIT LATE. IT'S NOT MUCH BRAKING, RIDE IT THROUGH, TAKE THE LEFT. YOU'LL SCRUB THE SPEED OFF. START TO THROTTLE IT WHEN YOU GET TO THE APEX, THE BLUE LINE. ON THIS TURN IN RIGHT HERE, START TO THROTTLE. IT'LL PULL YOU OUT, AND THERE WE GO, WE'RE RIGHT ON TRACK.

(MIKE)>> THIS PROCESS CONTINUES ALL AFTERNOON. MORE CLASSROOM AND MORE TRACK TIME.

(RANDY)>> OKAY, GET SETUP. THERE'S THE ONE MARKER, HERE'S OUR CLOVER PATCH, TURN IT IN, HOLD THE WHEEL, LITTLE THROTTLE THROUGH HERE, DRIFT YOU OUT. TWO MARK, ON THE BRAKES, DOWN SHIFT IF YOU'RE GOING TO, OFF THE BRAKES, TURN IN AND START TO GAS IT. THERE YOU GO, GOOD JOB GUYS. END OF SESSION, END OF SESSION, PIT IN SIGNAL PLEASE. WE DO THIS BECAUSE WE LOVE, WE LOVE THE STUDENTS. IT'S JUST PART OF THE RACING COMMUNITY.

(ANDREW)>> ON A TRACK LIKE THIS I DON'T THINK HORSEPOWER REALLY MATTERS ALL THAT MUCH. IT'S MORE ABOUT KNOWING THE TRACK AND GETTING THAT TRACK TIME DOWN TO KNOW THE LIMITS OF YOUR CAR AND GETTING YOUR CAR AROUND THE TRACK QUICKEST. THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF ANYTHING IS JUST GETTING IN THE CAR AND BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT. SO I THINK THAT JUST GIVING YOU THAT ABILITY TO JUST GO ON THE TRACK EVEN IF THERE WASN'T A CLASSROOM SETTING IS PRICELESS.

(PAT)>> WE'RE BACK WORKING ON THE NOVA WITH THE LITTLE TIME THAT WE HAVE LEFT. NOW WE'RE GONNA BE INSTALLING A SUMMIT BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH, AND IT'S JUST NOT TO LOOK RACE CAR COOL. THIS IS A NECESSARY PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR CARS THAT RUN THIS QUICK. WE'RE MOUNTING IT TO THE BACK HALF FRAME RAIL INSIDE THE TRUNK. NOW A CABLE FROM THE BATTERY POSITIVE IS ATTACHED TO ONE OF THE POSTS. A SECOND CABLE, WHICH GOES TO THE STARTER SOLENOID IS ATTACHED TO THE OTHER POST. NOW AN ALUMINUM ROD IS SLID THROUGH A SMALL HOLE WE PUT IN THE REAR PANEL AND THREADS ONTO A HEIM. FINALLY A TEA HANDLE THREADS ONTO THE OTHER END, AND WE HAVE A FUNCTIONAL BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH.

(MIKE)>> PAT AND I ARE BOTH FANS OF TURBO ACTION'S CHEETAH SCS SHIFTER. SO WE ORDERED THIS ONE FROM SUMMIT RACING. NOW THIS THING ACTUALLY DEBUTED AT THE 1982 NHRA GATOR NATIONALS. NOW IT HAS A BUILT IN ACTIVATION BUTTON THAT CAN BE USED FOR NITROUS, LINE LOCK, OR TRANS BRAKE. IT ALSO COMES WITH THE EVER IMPORTANT NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. NOW A TWO FINGER OPERATED LIFT TO REVERSE AND PARK IS AN EASY ONE HAND OPERATION.

(PAT)>> COOLING 588 CUBIC INCHES AT 950 HORSEPOWER WITH 14.3 TO ONE COMPRESSION CAN BE A DIFFICULT TASK, BUT WITH THE CORRECT RADIATOR, EVEN AN ENGINE LIKE THIS CAN ACTUALLY RUN COOL ON THE STREET. WE PICKED UP THIS UNIVERSAL FIT RADIATOR FROM SUMMIT RACING. IT'S MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM AND HAS AN EXTREMELY LARGE COOLING AREA. WE HAD TO REMOVE THE MAJORITY OF THE CORE SUPPORT AND REINFORCE IT ON THE OUTSIDE TO GET THIS IN BECAUSE OUR MANDREL OF OUR CRANK SHAFT STICKS OUT PRETTY FAR. USING SPACER BLOCKS CUT FROM ALUMINUM STOCK, IT'S ATTACHED TO THE SUPPORT, ONE AT EACH CORNER. TO FINISH THIS SETUP OUT IT WILL RECEIVE TWO ELECTRIC FANS AND A FABRICATED ALUMINUM SHROUD VERY SOON.

(MIKE)>> TO MANAGE HOLLEY'S VRONE FUEL PUMP WE INSTALLED PREVIOUSLY UNDERNEATH THE CAR IS THIS TWO SPEED CONTROLLER THAT COMES WITH IT. NOW THIS ALLOWS YOU TO CONTROL THE PUMP IN A LOW OR HIGH SPEED FOR PROPER FUEL CONSUMPTION REQUIREMENTS. IT'S BEING MOUNTED IN THE TRUNK NEAR THE BATTERY USING 10-24 NUTSERTS AND MACHINED SCREWS. A WEATHER PAK CONNECTOR CONNECTS THE TWO TOGETHER.

(PAT)>> WE ARE BACK AND GOING BACK UNDERNEATH THE CAR, AND THERE'S NOT MUCH LEFT TO GET OLE "PROJECT PRO STREET OR NO STREET" RUNNING UNDER ITS OWN POWER. MOST OF THE ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, AND FABRICATION WORK IS ALREADY DONE. NOW WE DO HOWEVER NEED A LINK FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THAT KILLER FAB NINE REAR END HOUSING FROM CURRIE. WITH POWER LIKE THIS WE NEED A DRIVE SHAFT THAT EXCELS IN STRENGTH TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE PUNISHMENT WE ARE GOING TO DELIVER TO IT. STRANGE ENGINEERING IS NOT NEW TO THIS GAME. THEY ARE ONE OF THE INDUSTRY LEADERS FOR BUILDING COMPONENTS FRO SOME OF THE FASTEST CARS IN THE WORLD, AND WE SOURCED THEM FOR THIS CUSTOM BULLETPROOF DRIVESHAFT. IT'S MADE FROM 41-30 SEAMLESS CHROMOLY TUBING. IT HAS A THREE AND A HALF INCH OD WITH AN 83 THOUSANDTHS WALL THICKNESS. THE WELD ON ENDS ARE 41-30 CHROMOLY FORGINGS WITH ADDITIONAL MATERIAL ADDED IN CRITICAL AREAS. THESE ACCEPT 13-50 UJOINTS. WE ORDERED OURS WITH THEIR SEVERE DUTY CHROMOLY TRANSMISSION YOKE MADE FOR OUR ROLLER BEARING IN THE TAIL HOUSING. THE SHAFT IS ALSO FULLY TIG WELDED AND PROFESSIONALLY BALANCE BASED OFF THE RPM THAT YOU SPECIFY ON THE CUSTOM ORDER SHEET. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A DRIVESHAFT.

IN TODAY'S TECH TIP I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS ABOUT FUEL FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE. NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. I'M GONNA GO OVER OCTANE RATINGS OF PUMP GAS VERSUS DISTILLED RACE FUEL FOR ONE OF YOUR HIGH PERFORMANCE BULLETS. WELL THAT'S HALF RIGHT. I'M ALSO GONNA GO OVER ANOTHER CLASS OF FUEL AND IT'S RATING, DIESEL, AND THE RATING WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT, CETANE RATING. JUST FOR A REFRESHER LET'S TALK ABOUT OCTANE. THE OCTANE RATING OF GASOLINE IS THE ABILITY OF THE FUEL TO RESIST DETONATION, WHICH IS THE IGNITION OF THE AIR/FUEL MIXTURE WITHOUT A SPARK LIGHTING IT. THE CYLINDER PRESSURE CREATED UNDER COMPRESSION CAUSES A RISE IN CYLINDER TEMPERATURE. IF THE OCTANE RATING ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH PART OF THE AIR/FUEL MIX WILL SELF IGNITE, CAUSING AN AUDIBLE KNOCK WHEN THE NEXT OF THE MIX IS LIT BY THE SPARK PLUG AND THE TWO FLAME FRONTS COLLIDE IN A COMBUSTION CHAMBER. FROM DAILY DRIVERS TO FULL BORE RACE BULLETS, OCTANE REQUIREMENTS WILL VARY. COMMONLY AVAILABLE FUELS COME IN A VARIETY OF RATINGS, LIKE PUMP GAS, WHICH IS 87 TO 93, E-85, WHICH IS IN THE 100 TO 105 RANGE, AND SPECIALTY DISTILLED RACE FUELS, WHICH CAN BE FROM 100 TO 120 PLUS. ADDITIVES TO THE BOOST THE OCTANE RATING OF PUMP GAS IN YOUR WEEKEND WARRIOR STYLE RACE CARS ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE NOWADAYS. YOUR APPLICATION AND POWER OUTPUT WILL DETERMINE YOUR MINIMUM OCTANE REQUIREMENT. NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT TO HOW AN ENGINE RUNS, CETANE RATING IN DIESEL FUEL. IT'S RATING IS BASICALLY THE OPPOSITE OF OCTANE. IT REFERS TO THE FUEL'S ABILITY TO SELF IGNITE UNDER COMPRESSION. FROM THE TIME THAT FUEL IS INJECTED INTO A CYLINDER UNTIL THE TIME IT SELF IGNITES IN A DIESEL IS CALLED IGNITION DELAY. FOR THE MOST PART DIESEL GUYS WANT THE FUEL TO BE AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO IGNITE. THIS CREATES A MORE COMPLETE AND EFFICIENT BURN, MAKING THE ENGINE RUN SMOOTHER, HAVE LOWER EMISSIONS, AND MAKE MORE POWER. DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, DIESEL FUELS VARY IN CETANE RATING AS WELL, AND THEY'RE EXPRESSED AS A MINIMUM VALUE. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER THE EASIER TO SELF IGNITE. US LOW SULPHUR FUELS HAVE A MINIMUM RATING OF 40. EUROPEAN CETANE HAS A 51 RATING BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE PERFORMANCE DIESEL POWER PLANTS IN VEHICLES OVER THERE, BUT OTHER BIO DIESEL FUELS HAVE A RATING FROM 40 TO 47. SPECIAL SYNTHETIC DIESEL CAN BE IN THE RANGE FROM 60 TO 85, KINDA LIKE DISTILLED RACE FUEL. JUST LIKE OCTANE BOOSTER IN A GAS APPLICATION, YOU CAN BUY CETANE BOOSTER RIGHT OFF THE SHELF TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR DIESEL FUEL IF YOU CAN'T GET THE GOOD STUFF IN YOUR AREA. GAS OR DIESEL, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO CYLINDER PRESSURE. HOW DO YOU GET IT, AND WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. FROM WORKING IN THE GARAGE OR SHOP AS WELL AS HOUSEHOLD PROJECTS, LIQUID WRENCH HAS BEEN HELPING PEOPLE GET STUCK FASTENERS LOOSE FOR AGES. LIQUID WRENCH PRO PENETRANT AND LUBRICANT IS DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY. IT'S FAST ACTING ANTISEIZE FORMULA PENETRATES CORROSION, LOOSENS RUSTED BOLTS, STOPS SQUEAKS, AND DISPLACES MOISTURE. THIS NEW CAN IS EQUIPPED WITH SOMETHING CALLED A FLASH SITE. A BUILT IN LED SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU SPRAY, AND YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN LIGHT ONLY, LIGHT AND SPRAY, OR OFF. THE LOCKING COLLAR PREVENTS UNWANTED SPRAYING. IT'S GREAT FOR POOR LIT AREAS LIKE THE UNDER HOOD OF YOUR CAR OR THE STAIRWELL IN YOUR HOME. GET YOURS AT YOUR LOCAL AUTOZONE.

(MIKE)>> A TORQUE WRENCH IS A MUST HAVE IN ANY GEARHEAD'S TOOL BOX. THIS IS MATCO TOOL'S NEW THREEEIGHTHS DRIVE FLEX HEAD ELECTRONIC TORQUE WRENCH. NOW IT'LL MEASURE IN EITHER POUNDS OR NEWTON METERS DEPENDING ON THE TORQUE SPEC YOU NEED. IT HAS NINE PRESET MODES TO SPEED THROUGH REPEAT APPLICATIONS, AN IMPACT RESISTANT HANDLE, AND 100 PERCENT STEEL BODY CONSTRUCTION. NOW IT'LL EVEN ALERT YOU WITH THE LED'S AND VIBRATIONS WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR TORQUE SPEC. LOCATE YOUR LOCAL MATCO TOOL TRUCK TO PICK YOURS UP.

(PAT)>> ALL OF OUR PROJECTS GET DONE WITH THE USE OF MATCO TOOLS. NOW THIS IS MATCO'S NEW THREEEIGHTHS DRIVE 15 INCH 88 TOOTH LOCKING FLEX RATCHET. THE 88 RATCHET GEAR TEETH PROVIDE A SWING ARC OF JUST OVER FOUR DEGREES ALLOWING FOR FAST WORK IN COMPACT SPACES. THE ULTRA LOW PROFILE HEAD PERMITS ACCESS TO THE TIGHTEST JOBS, AND CAN BE LOCKED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT ANGLES. THE CONTOURED HANDLE IS DESIGNED FOR A FIRM NONSLIP GRIP, AND IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE, AND DUE TO ITS LENGTH IT'S THE INDUSTRY'S BEST AND MAKES EASY WORK ON THE TOUGHEST FASTENERS.

(MIKE)>> THAT'S IT FOR TODAY'S SHOW. MAKE SURE YOU LOG ON TO POWERNATION TV DOT COM TO WIN THAT AWESOME RISLONE MUSTANG, AND DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT NCM TO SEE WHEN THEIR NEXT EVENT IS. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
