When it experienced trouble with clutch failures, Earnhardt Childress Racing Engines turned to Quarter Master® to help create a clutch package that breaks through the boundaries of what had previously been possible.
There’s a reason why you always find some manufacturers in the automotive performance market involved in racing. And that’s because you won’t find anyone, anywhere that can abuse stuff and generally push every component on a car to its absolute mechanical limit like a race car driver….
Read this through slowly and try to comprehend the amount of force produced in just less than 4 seconds! There are no rockets or airplanes built by any government in the world that can accelerate from a standing start as fast as a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car!
DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION
One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500.
No matter if the competition is street/strip, circle track or anything in between, every competitor knows that parts have to take beating and stand up to grueling conditions or the competition is over. And in racing, failure means sitting on the sidelines, watching.

But the simple fact is, setting the proper engine timing and tuning your carburetion are key to making your musclecar run correctly. Certainly you can invest the money to install fuel injection on your upgraded musclecar, but for many, a simple carburetor and mechanical advance distributor is required to retain the vehicle authenticity. Even for those of you desiring more sophisticated ignitions will…
When it comes to building a collector car, choosing a set of tires proves to be one of the most challenging aspects. Size, style and construction are big factors in the selection process and even a slight…
Just like the used bicycle or not-quite-worn-out sneakers you inherited from your older sibling, technology also trickles down. That’s fortunate for those of us who cruise our cars on the street but race vicariously through the likes of Spiro Pappas, Vinny Budano, Tony Nesbit or John Urist. We crave to understand and adapt the technology…
It’s hard enough to make power when you know the playing field. Fresh engine, right rearend gears, perfect transmission setup – they all contribute. But when something as simple as an exhaust pipe that appears to be fine turns out to be a major performance deterrent, that’s a tough one.
