With our ALTA customers, all our maps are preloaded onto the Mini AccessPORTs so normally there is no need to go through these extra steps. There are cases where we feel it requires something beyond the supplied maps or when we are trying to fix a problem, which will require you to follow the below instructions. In all [...Continue Reading...]

A new part brought to you by….. you! Over the last few years our Equal Length Header has been one of our most popular and most loved parts we have made. From the beginning we choose a perfect size tube for the primaries which produced more power and quicker turbo response compared to any other header out there.

This is one of those $20,000 cameras used in the film industry to make full length featured movies and commercials and what not. He wanted to come by and shoot my STI (recently matte blacked) to do some testing [...Continue Reading...]
