Easy Adjustment
Fuel Air Spark Technology (FAST) has made swapping from carburetion to electronic fuel injection simpler with its new EZ-EFI Self Tuning Fuel Injection. After installation of the system, you simply plug in and answer the basic setup questions on the included hand-held display, and it will tune itself. The complete package includes the ECU, wide-band oxygen sensor, wiring harness, fuel injectors, fuel-pump kit, and other assorted components, including the company's new 4150 throttle body. It can be used on your existing intake manifold (Pontiac Q-jet intakes require an adapter, sold separately) and is available with injectors of four different flow rates. The price is $1,800. FAST; (877) 334-8355; www.fuelairspark.com.

Tunnel Of Love
BMR has an all-new driveshaft tunnel brace for the Pontiac G8. It's constructed from 1x2x0.083-inch wall, rectangular, steel tubing and 3/16-inch, CNC laser-cut, steel plates. It uses factory mounting holes and increases the rigidity of the tunnel in the critical area where the driveshaft carrier bearing is located. According to BMR, this new brace is considerably stronger than the factory stamped unit and will strengthen the floorpan and driveshaft tunnel. It's available in black hammertone or red powdercoat finish. The price is $90. BMR Fabrication; (813) 986-9302; www.bmrfabrication.com.

Seeing Clearly

The company's LED headlamp is now available in a 12-volt configuration and utilizes the superior technology of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The benefits to upgrading to LED lamps include increased visibility and safety, a pure-white beam pattern, low power consumption, and excellent resistance to shock and vibration. The price is approximately $300 each. Truck-Lite Co.; (800) 562-5012; www. truck-lite.com.

Good Source Of Fiber
Katech, most notable for its engineering and manufacturing of race-proven aftermarket parts for the LS-engines, is now offering carbon-fiber valve covers for all LS-engines. Modeled after Katech's cast-aluminum valve covers, they feature a raised design to accommodate aftermarket valvetrain components, such as larger springs and rocker arms. "Customers have always asked for carbon-fiber valve covers because they saw them on the race cars," says Jason Harding, Katech's director of aftermarket operations. "They were never affordable until now. Our team has developed a process for efficiently producing the part, allowing us to provide customers with a carbon cover that delivers a distinct look." The price is $700 and includes all the necessary bolts, hardware, and gaskets. Katech; (866) 528-3241; www.katechengines.com.
