MSD Ignition




MSD Ignition

  • An MSD ignition box under your hood contributes to the complete burning of all the air and fuel you supply your engine
  • No matter how good your intake, exhaust, and injection system is, if you don’t have an MSD ignition to light the mix it’s all going to waste
  • MSD spark plug wires can deliver all the high voltage sparks MSD is famous for without radio interference
  • You can add MSD ignition parts like caps and rotors to your HEI ignition and improve the spark without a full-bore MSD installation

MSD Ignition

Leave it to two missile engineers to create the best-selling performance ignition of all time, but that’s exactly what happened: You know their invention as the MSD ignition, which stands for multiple spark discharge. And the name says it all. An MSD ignition system is so effective because it allows for multiple sparks per combustion cycle, practically ensuring that the fuel/air mixture will be fully burned. We all know that the more complete combustion you get, the more power you produce, so that’s the formula by which MSD ignition products produce horsepower. MSD ignition works off a principle called “capacitive discharge,” the basics of which are produced in the famous MSD ignition box that is a part of most MSD ignition systems. But MSD ignition is about much more than just the capacitive discharge box. That’s because MSD ignition has become synonymous with high quality ignition parts of all types, including tune up parts, billet distributors, plug wires, coils, and magnetic trigger systems. Of course, MSD ignition parts work best when they’re combined with each other into a potent system, but MSD ignition parts can also be added piecemeal to an older points system in order to achieve modern results. For all your ignition needs, check first to see if there are MSD ignition parts available. You can save money over rebuilt or lesser quality parts and you always get increased power because of the increased spark delivered by your MSD ignition parts.

MSD Distributor Cap

It’s amazing that even on late-model cars and trucks, the distributor cap is still relied upon to provide accurate, complete spark energy to light off the fuel/air mixture (the exception being on the newest distributorless ignition systems, of course). Since the distributor cap remains such an essential component in your ignition, rely on a premium quality MSD distributor cap for your vehicle. Instead of using cheap plastics and aluminum terminals, an MSD distributor cap is constructed of alkyd resins that don’t conduct any electricity and resist carbon tracking and moisture condensation. The terminals on an MSD distributor cap are brass for the best possible conductivity, and terminal gaps are precisely located on the MSD distributor cap to reduce spark scatter. Thick bases and molded vanes, along with dual hold-down mechanisms, are employed on every MSD distributor cap to ensure firm, accurate seating on the distributor base. Want more? Step up to a Pro-Cap MSD distributor cap. The Pro-Cap MSD distributor cap uses a special Rynite resin in its construction that provides maximum strength and heat resistance for even better durability. So, even if you aren’t running any other MSD components, an MSD distributor cap can give you a hotter, more accurate spark, and that’s one giant leap towards more horsepower and better reliability from your ignition system.

MSD Spark Plug Wires

Made to the same exacting tolerances as everything MSD supplies, MSD spark plug wires deliver the juice in a big way. MSD spark plug wires are designed with two goals in mind: Optimum power transfer and minimum RF interference. The two goals are frequently mutually exclusive, but MSD spark plug wires utilize new technological breakthroughs in spiral-core wire design to provide the lowest resistance possible while still maintaining excellent RF shielding. Super Conductor MSD spark plug wires have the lowest resistance of any wire of their kind (non solid-core street wire), but they have the RF shielding of a wire with 30 times their resistance! To give you an example of how tightly wound the coils are in these MSD spark plug wires, MSD claims that each foot of wire contains 40 feet of wound copper—that’s a lot of winding. For those of you on a tighter budget, try Heli-Core MSD spark plug wires. These MSD spark plug wires feature a lot of the same technologies found in Super Conductor wires but built into more affordable MSD spark plug wires. All MSD spark plug wires are available in custom sets for most popular applications, with universal sets and bulk wire also available. Give your spark plugs a special delivery of high voltage the best way you know how: Install MSD spark plug wires on your car, truck, van, or SUV and see horsepower and fuel economy improvements.

 




 

Iceman Intakes


Iceman Intakes

  • One of the first and still one of the best, Iceman intakes put years of experience into each cold air intake
  • Far from cheap, the plastic materials used in Iceman intakes offer high strength and exceptional thermal isolation
  • By using molded plastic tubing, Iceman intakes can take the most efficient shape possible, producing more power for you
  • Aluminum intake tubes transmit heat to the intake charge—not what you want from a cold air intake, and not what you get with a thermoplastic Iceman intake

Iceman Intakes

Plastic can sometimes be perceived as cheap, and sometimes that perception is correct. But other times, like in the case of Iceman intakes, plastic is the smart material to use. Iceman intakes are dedicated to delivering the coolest intake air to your plenum possible. With that goal in mind, the engineers at Iceman intakes tried hundreds of different materials and combinations of materials when designing their intake duct. What they discovered is that plastic has the best combination of thermal isolation and formability of any product they tried. Since Iceman intakes were designed to be the best, the best material for the job was chosen: plastic. Of course, since your intake duct is exposed to high heat and a ton of nasty chemicals, Iceman intakes aren’t just made out of melted-down milk jugs. Iceman intakes are produced from a thick, high strength thermoplastic material that is incredibly durable and won’t chip or break, even in extreme conditions. The formability of the plastic also means that Iceman intakes can be produced in shapes that metal intakes can’t recreate: In other words, Iceman intakes have the shape needed for the best torque production, not the shape dictated by the limits of the material. Get the picture now? Iceman intakes give you more high-velocity air at a lower temperature, so cool things off with Iceman intakes.

Iceman Cold Air Intake

When a market becomes saturated with competitors, sometimes it helps to go back to the first products on the market to find out what all the fuss was originally about. That’s the case with the cold air intake market, which is why we went back and revisited the Iceman cold air intake, one of the original sport compact performance products. The Iceman cold air intake has long been a proponent of using plastic in its intake ducts for two simple reasons: Plastic insulates the incoming air from heat better, and it can be formed into more effective shapes. Those are two pretty good reasons, which is why every Iceman cold air intake is formed from heavy-duty thermoplastics. Each Iceman cold air intake is also designed to take full advantage of nooks and crannies in your engine compartment to deliver the coolest air possible. And, while horsepower is improved too, the Iceman cold air intake is designed for peak torque production since that’s where the fun really begins. And if you can keep your foot out of the throttle, you’ll actually see an improvement in fuel economy too. Finally, your Iceman cold air intake is easy to install, bolting on in under two hours in many cases thanks to the complete hardware kit and full instructions. So before you spend your hard-earned cash on an intake that’s all show and no go, be sure to check out the original sport compact power booster: The Iceman cold air intake is better than ever.

Iceman Air Intake

For carrying something as complex as your vehicle’s intake air flow, you don’t want just a simple pipe. Intake air goes through a series of changes as it’s drawn into your engine, which is why every Iceman air intake looks different, and in some cases kind of strange. The Iceman air intake is designed to manage airflow, not just direct it to a throttle body via an aluminum tube like the competition does. Heck, how much effort does it take to design a round L-shaped tube? The Iceman air intake has bulges and curves in its design in order to take advantage of pressure waves and interactions within the intake tract. In effect, the Iceman air intake acts as a miniature unpowered supercharger, using the physical properties of the air itself to cause a type of forced induction. Pretty neat, huh? Every Iceman air intake is also made out of a thermoplastic material, not because it’s cheaper to use (it’s not) but because it insulates the incoming air from engine heat better than any other material the company tried. You’re investing in a cold air intake, so why would you heat the air as it passes through the duct? When you use an Iceman air intake, that won’t happen. So remember this: If you want a cute aluminum cold air intake, you’ve got a lot of cookie-cutter designs to choose from. But if you want neck-snapping torque, you only have one choice: The Iceman air intake.



 

Brembo brakes




Brembo Brakes

  • Once only available on racing cars, Brembo brakes can now be installed on your street vehicle
  • No system on your car or truck is more important than the brakes, so trust Brembo to bring you to a stop
  • If you think Brembo is just brake pads, check out their Brembo calipers and Brembo rotors too
  • Drilled and slotted rotors, high-friction pad compounds, and dozens of other options are available from Brembo brakes, your high-performance brakes leader

Brembo Brakes

Ferrari’s stamp of approval, and its choice of Brembo brakes as standard equipment on its Formula 1 cars in the 1970s, put Brembo brakes on the high-performance map. Prior to that, Brembo brakes were primarily seen on motorcycles buzzing through the Italian alps. But when Enzo chose a supplier, people sat up and took notice, so Brembo brakes soon found their way onto sports cars and racing cars the world over. The company has never looked back: As a supplier of high-end brakes to production cars, Brembo brakes can be found in the wheelwells of such highly respected vehicles as the M-series BMWs and the AMG Mercedes. You can put the ultra performance stopping power of Brembo brakes in your vehicle too, though. There is a full line of rotors, pads, and Brembo brakes produced just for retrofitting onto sport compact cars, muscle cars, and whatever hot rod your mind can create. Remember, Ferrari doesn’t choose just anyone to supply brakes for their racing cars: They choose Brembo brakes. Doesn’t it make sense for you to specify Brembo brakes on your high-performance street car too?

Brembo Brake Pads

The core of your braking system is your brake pads; after all, they supply the friction to stop your vehicle, meaning they have to have exceptional fade resistance, good gripping power, long life, low noise…the list goes on and on. You’ll find all these features and more when you choose Brembo brake pads. The different compounds used in Brembo brake pads produce different results for…you guessed it, different situations. If you’re driving an F1 car, you’re going to be more concerned about reducing fade than about brake dust, and Brembo brake pads for racing will be focused on the performance end of the spectrum. On the other hand, if you’re heading home from the track in your Audi A6, you want Brembo brake pads that will stop your car in the shortest distance possible, but you’re not going to tolerate squealing or excessive amounts of black dust on your alloy wheels. A street version of Brembo brake pads will match the qualities you want in your daily driver brakes. Peak levels of braking performance are always the first order of business with Brembo brake pads. But you don’t have to make compromises on your street vehicle: Brembo brake pads are available for every situation, allowing you to get the best brakes no matter what.

Brembo Brake Rotors

In a disc brake system, the rotors are the other primary friction components, besides the pads. Brake rotors, like Brembo brake rotors, are the spinning surfaces that the pads clamp down upon, causing the car to stop. Now think about stomping on the brakes at 70 mph—it doesn’t take a vivid imagination to see the incredible stresses that are placed on your brake rotors. Now imagine stomping on the brakes at 140 mph…or more. Racing-style Brembo brake rotors can handle those forces with ease, and even street Brembo brake rotors are designed to handle much more stress than your stock rotors. The funny thing is, a lot of folks will spend thousands on aftermarket performance modifications for their engines, but then not consider how they’re going to stop the land missile they’ve built. Brembo brake rotors can provide the braking power to complement your engine power. Brembo brake rotors are found on some of the top performance cars in the world right from the factory: Thanks to Brembo’s strong aftermarket commitment, you can get those same Brembo brake rotors for your car. So if fast street driving, road racing, slaloming, or drifting is in your future, make sure you invest in Brembo brake rotors to bring things back to a halt.
