About this deal

the Americans squeeze every last drop out putting the car on edge and the quoted figures would not be very reliable after a couple of what runs. Called The Exorcist, it’s based on the latest version of the Chevrolet muscle car, but gets radical engine tuning and modifications, enabling it to blast down a quarter mile drag strip in less than ten seconds, and making it a rival for the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and the upcoming Challenger Demon. The car that featured in SSC’s now defunct record attempt also rode on conventional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres and was powered by commercially available fuel. This was done to keep the car’s specs identical to the production model, in an attempt to make the record as credible as possible. Engine tuning helps to get the very most out of your engine. Giving it a little tweak here or there can help it to generate more power, to become more efficient and to even help you get more miles to the gallon; although many tuners will be on the lookout for more power! Tuning your engine is a complex process and one that should always be done properly if you want to get the desired effect - more power, and a better noise!

I know a lot of guys think the numbers are exaggerated, and without dyno'ing mine to get the proof they may well be right (who am I to say their wrong, the actual numbers could be well off the quoted figures) But from my butt dyno, the missis screaming at me to slow down everytime I take her out, and comparing this to my old 9000 with the various stages I took that thing through, I'd be very surprised if my dyno results weren't close to the quoted numbers. Plus you've got to look at Johns rep in the tuning world, and the cars he's built, some monsters! He's not known to mess about and gets the very best out of what ever he does (he's like the American version of our Faero imo) You can't help feeling that Leo Fender really did get it right first time; so much so that the humble Tele has probably had more versions built around it than any other guitar alive. So what, if anything, is so 'special' about this Special?However, after analysing the video footage – and applying a little mathematics relating to the car’s gearing and final drive ratio – internet mathematicians soon debunked the claims, saying the true top speed of the Tuatara was around 250mph. Maybe a brand new OEM clutch will be ok at stage 1 as I think mines the original at 116k, but I can't see it holding stage3+ as its quoted over 450ft/lbs, that's a fair bit more than my gt30'd 9k produced (425) I could have made a new nut with stupidly deep slots but why make a sub-standard nut to deal with this problem. The Figures quoted are for the Stage1A maps', aggressive, the most it can be mapped on standard hardware. Again as the map are mapped to how you want them you dont have to run's these figures, I currently have stage1A on but could upload normal stage 1 ina matter of minutes. If your guitar has staggered-height tuners, or you’re planning to install some, that’s cool. Go for it and see what happens. It might be absolutely fine for you. Do keep an eye out for any change in tone or sustain on the open string; any buzzes or rattles on the open string; and —definitely— any poppin’ strings while bending.

Sealed-gear tuners use a threaded collar that encompasses the post, tightened with a nut. These are super easy to install yourself and in a straight swap can be done in minutes. However, if you’re changing from Vintage to more modern Sealed-gear tuners, you will likely need to make the tuning post hole larger to allow the new tuner to fi. You can use something like a tapered reamer to enlarge the hole evenly. Mounting Screw Location Tuning your engine can completely transform performance but there are a wide range of upgrades that need to work together to get the maximum effect. For instance, engine remapping can work with your upgrades to generate extra BHP and improve acceleration, with brands like Cobb Tuning specialising in engine remaps across all makes and models. Similarly, delivering the optimum amount of fuel, at the right time, is crucial in a high performance engine and a fuel pump upgrade can help to get it from the tank to the engine in perfect time. AEM Electronics produce a range of high performance fuel pumps capable of optimising fuel delivery, and efficiency, so your engine is always ready to perform; while DeatschWerks fuel injectors help by actually sending the fuel into the engine bay. Furthermore, the staggered tuners with oval and smooth metal knobs not only add to the beauty but also provide precision functioning. We’re sure you appreciate the value of a tuner if you’re a musician. Because it can represent a variety of itches, users will be able to tune the guitar, eliminating the guesswork and ensuring the instrument produces a clear and pure tone.

And, as the tuners get farther from the nut, the angle the string ‘breaks’ over that nut gets more shallow. So, the American Special slots in under the long-running American Standard range - for many, Fender's staple Tele. The more recent, matt-finished Highway One series also fills a spot in the market between the more affordable Mexican-made guitars and the upmarket American Standard and Vintage series, but lots of people want their guitars shiny, not matt. Vintage-style tuners typically have a press-in bushing that hold the tuning machine in place. If you’re changing from modern tuners to vintage-style, then you will likely need a conversion kit as the holes will be too big. A lot of vintage-style tuning machines come with matching bushings but if yours don’t, you can find plenty of choice to match here. Founded by America's favorite automotive tuner in 1962, Carroll Shelby’s Shelby American tuning shop famously utilized the Texan's penchant for speed when crafting the notorious AC Cobra. The 1959 LeMans winner stuffed the British roadster with a 4.7-liter V8 from Ford to thwart the Chevrolet Corvette’s status as America's finest sports car. By 1967, the Shelby Cobra developed an earth-shattering 355 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque thanks to a Ford 427 V8 engine found onboard.

The above offer more bhp and torque than say Maptun do with a stage 3 ( full exhaust and Intercooler 310 bhp and 475Nm) The gearing mechanism inside the tuner is completely sealed and permanently lubricated with Gotoh’s ‘Lubri-Coat’ technology. This is a coating applied to the worm gear and spur gear wheel to ensure a smooth action that also increases the durability to give you reliable performance time after time.Shelby American's relationship with Ford blossomed into multiple vehicles. Timeless icons include the LeMans winning Ford GT40, the Shelby GT500, and the one-of-one Shelby GT500 Super Snake. The Shelby American tuning shop went on to work with Chrysler and Dodge, building stunning high-performance vehicles that stand the test of time.
