Power Steering Among the Elite
Manufactured in Kennesaw, Georgia, KRC’s all-new Elite Series Pump with bolt-on aluminum tank is packed with affordable technology. It carries KRC’s standards, along with many of the features developed in the company’s Pro Series pump. While many power-steering pumps on the market may be a rebuilt streetcar pump, KRC builds its Elite pumps from the ground up. The pump uses sealed bearings, press-on pulleys, and mounting that bolts right on the standard GM configuration commonly used in racing. The Elite Series Pumps are fully adjustable for enhanced driver feel. Plus, KRC Changeable Flow Technology offers nine levels of feel to create the perfect driver-preferred steering from firm to light. For more information call (770) 422-5135 or visit www.krcpower.com

They are available in a variety of sizes from 1 5/8 inches to 3 inches. For more information call (641) 628-3860 or visit www.tricktools.com.
Save the Tear-Offs!
Have you ever grabbed one too many tear-offs, then had to start wiping your visor? Pulse Racing Innovations EZ Tear system (and tear-off posts) can help prevent wasting tear-offs. The EZ Tear provides a shield for the folded tear-offs to prevent grabbing them accidently. The shield protects the folded tabs and guides your hand to the top tear-off, so you get the full benefit of every single tear-off. Ultimately, you can keep your vision clear and focus on racing, not fumbling with tear-offs. The EZ Tear is universal and attaches between the lens and the tear-off post. It adjusts to accommodate the tear-off tabs on all brands of helmets and tear-offs. Also, Pulse’s posts are designed to make tearing as easy as possible, as they are 15-percent taller than competing brands. In addition, they accommodate more tear-offs, feature a rounded top for easier tear-off installation, and have tapered sides for easier pulling.
