This month, in Part II of our SEMA new-products showcase, HPP presents items for 2007 for your traditional Pontiac 326-455 engine. It should come as no surprise that most of these great new products are designed with Pontiac racers in mind. So gear up your greenbacks, promise your Pontiac some new goodies, and get ready to go shopping.
At the Flowmaster booth, a '72 Trans Am that was built by Creative Concepts of Santa Rosa, California, was displayed. The most interesting aspect of this high-dollar endeavor is that the air dam, wheel spats, and rear spoiler are all metal and are seamlessly integrated into the body.

What is it?
SST Repair System
Why you need it:
Repair cracks in heads and blocks using a zinc-aluminum blend of metal particles propelled at supersonic speeds to form a bond through plastic deformation. This technology uses kinetic energy, not molten particles and thermal energy, to repair cracked engine components. Given its price, you'll probably never buy one. But should you end up with a cracked block, head, intake or exhaust manifold that needs fixing, you may want to seek a professional who's made the investment in this technology.
Applications:
All aluminum, copper, brass and cast-iron engine blocks, heads, and components. All Pontiac V-8s
MSRP:
$45,900
