Better Rotors
Got brakes that don't perform up to par? Check out these new rotors from Pro-Stop. Every Pro-Stop drilled brake rotor begins life as a premium quality casting made in North America or Europe. Each application has hole patterns that are carefully engineered and CNC-machined to enhance brake-pad cooling and out-gassing, while maintaining the rotor's balance and run-out. Finally, they are gold Cadmium-plated to enhance appearance and resistance to rust and corrosion. They're available for most pickups and SUVs. Info: www.drilledrotor.com

Dual-Carb Kit for 350 Chevy Engines
Edelbrock found a way to squeeze two of its Thunder Series AVS 500cfm carburetors on a Chevy small-block with conventional or Vortec-style heads. The kit comes with the intake manifold, two carburetors, all the necessary gaskets, hoses, and hardware to make it function. All you need to do is supply a fuel filter and air cleaner. We think this kit will be good for mud boggers and swamp buggies that do not require emissions testing. Info: 310/781-2222, www.edelbrock.com
