2010 SEMA Show - Running With The Pack

Darton Sleeve
Darton Sleeves (www.darton-international.com) offers a number of sleeves for rescuing damaged or for enlarging the bores on many Ford blocks. At SEMA they introduced 5.4 iron and aluminum block M.I.D. sleeves. They allow up to 95.5mm bores, and their Modular Integrated Deck design nests the upper sleeve area to form a more rigid deck.

Shooting cupid's carbon-fiber arrow right for Editor Turner's heart were the wheel gurus at iForged (www.iforged.com). They showed off this carbon fiber-adorned Forgestar C5 wheel.

PSI
A new source for a familiar supercharger, Performance Supply Innovations (www.performance-supply.com) showed a self-contained, gear-driven centrifugal supercharger. The company says kits for the '04-'09 Mustang is in the offing.

Go Pro
Everything is going 3D, so why not your personal videos. Those creative souls at GoPro (www.goprocamera.com) showed of a 3D version of their popular little cameras. Now everyone can feel what it's like to go along for a ride in your car.

Line X
Bedliner experts Line-X (www.linex.com) now offers coating solution for your garage floor. Dubbed Aspart X, the coating is said to be durable, scuff resistant, and non-slip.

Manley
Credit to Manley (www.manleyperformance.com) for getting out its line of improved 5.0 Coyote valves. As usual for Manley, the intake and exhaust valves are available in stock diameter or oversize's, plus a choice of OEM or single-groove locking. Pricing is about $29 per valve.

McLeod Hydraulic
Advantages of McLeod's (www.mcleodracing.com) hydraulic conversion kit for '80-'04 Mustangs are a softer pedal effort, cleaner clutch disengagement, easier exhaust clearance (no burned cables) and self-adjustment. SEMA thought enough of the bolt-in kit to award McLeod the Best New Performance Street award for it. List pricing is $743.59 and the stock clutch pedal is retained.

Paramount Grille
Dress up items for current Mustangs just keep on coming. Paramount Resyling (www.paramountrestyling.com) added this logo cutout grille for 2010 and later cars. It features 4mm wide bars and a $129 retail price.

Procomp EFI
The Aussies are now building replacement EFI systems as the introduction of Procomp Electronics (www.turnkeyefi.com) shows. The Procomp kit for small-blocks includes a Procomp single-plane intake, a self-learning ECU that's laptop programmable, plus the usual wiring, sensors, injectors, and fuel rails. A retail price was not posted, but expect it to be competitive.

Proform Valve Covers
Small-block owners have a new valve cover supplier in Specialty Auto Parts (www.proformparts.com) Ford logo units. The tall cast aluminum units main claim are carrying both the oval logo and Mustang script, plus a low retail of $170.31. Specialty was also showing a series of classic round carburetor air cleaners with Ford logos and finishes at $102.60.

Pype Bomb
With a name like PypeBomb and "aggressive Mustang sound" in the description, you know you're too old if you're wondering just how loud these 304 stainless steel babies are. Made by Pypes Performance Exhaust (pypesexhaust.com), the PypeBomb features a 4x18-inch resonator tip and retails for $271. Pypes is working on some equally aggressive, stepped long-tube headers for '11 Mustang GTs as well.

Retrobuilt
Putting old school bodies on new Mustangs is Retrobuilt's (www.retrobuilt.com) game. This GT500CS Shelby--Carroll says they can call it a Shelby--is actually a '10 Mustang with all the speed, driveability, and comfort of the new car. Retrobuilt makes all their own parts and does all installation work at their Missouri shop, taking six weeks for the $37,900 transformation. The effect is well done, and with several other iconic musclecar era Mustangs in the wings, we think they have a good little business converting '05 and later Mustangs on their hands.

RK Sport
Modeling its new bodykit for '10-'11 Mustangs was RK Sport's Mustang project car. The kit featured an aggressive look, generous doses of carbon fiber, and some unique fender vents. Underhood an FRPP/Whipple blower backs up the show with some go.

Ron Francis Wiring
If you've ever put long-tubes on a Fox Mustang, you know you need to extend the oxygen sensor wiring. Well, Ron Francis Wiring (www.ronfrancis.com) has these new replacement harnesses in stock length and 24-inch long versions for those long-tubes.
