Pump It Up

Head Of Its Class
Airflow Research's (AFR) new 235cc 23-degree SBC Eliminator head is the largest offering in the company's popular Eliminator series. These heads feature made-in-the-USA T-356 aluminum construction, 100 percent CNC porting, 2.125/1.600 valves, and various spring choices to accommodate lifts of up to 0.750 inch. They're said to flow 335/260 cfm at 0.750-inch lift, rivaling some of the older raised-runner, 18-degree head designs. For more information, go to www.airflowresearch.com.

Chip Surgery
Dr. ColorChip Corporation's paint-chip-repair kit uses a proprietary process to fix anywhere from a few to a few thousand chips in a matter of minutes, with professional, permanent results. Here's how it works: Paint is dabbed on the chip and smeared flat across it with the thumb, allowing it to dry very quickly. The SealAct blending solution is then applied to a folded rag or soft cloth and used to lightly blend the repair, removing all excess paint from the area. The result is a clean repair with no paint blobs. Go to www.drcolorchip.com for more info.
