2007 New Parts Tech Guide - Part II

Spectre Performance

What is it?
Spectre 16-inch Airbox With Dual 4-inch Inlets
Why you need it:
Airflow is critical to increased horsepower. If your Pontiac didn't come from the factory with Ram Air, try this airbox with dual 4-inch inlets that mate to the Spectre Modular Air Intake System (sold separately). This fabricated, hand-polished, 16-inch-diameter airbox is made for a standard 511/48-inch base application and replaces your traditional aircleaner assembly.
Applications:
All Pontiac V-8s
MSRP:
$149

Spectre Performance

What is it?
Headlight Air Funnel
Why you need it:
This nifty funnel delivers incoming air through standard-size 511/44-inch headlight bezels, to 4-inch hand-polished aluminum tubes to your Spectre 16-inch airbox assembly (both sold separately). The funnel requires the removal of your headlights and is therefore designed for off-road use only.
Applications:
All Pontiac V-8s
MSRP:
$24 each

Spectre Performance

What is it?
Spectre Modular Air Intake Systems in 3-inch and 4-inch Aluminum
Why you need it:
Customize the path that cold air takes into your air filter with this modular air-intake system. Parts include welded and mandrel-bent polished-aluminum tubes, couplers, clamps, brackets, and airflow-sensor mounts. This product is recommended to be used with the Spectre 16-inch airbox.
Applications:
All Pontiac V-8s
MSRP:
$9 (starting) per 3-inch or 4-inch piece

Comp Cams

What is it?
Pontiac Edelbrock Shaft Rocker Assembly
Why you need it:
Protect your engine at high rpm with this shaft-mount aluminum rocker-arm assembly. Comp Cams says this product is "the ultimate rocker setup for all-out race applications" and features precision CNC-machined aluminum rocker bodies, a pressurized rocker tip, shaft bearing and valvespring oiling, a large 71/416-inch adjuster screw, a hardened-steel alloy rocker tip and axle, and heat-treated 8260 alloy-steel shafts and stands.
Applications:
All Pontiac V-8s.
MSRP:
$1,973

Painless Performance Products

What is it?
Striker ColdShot Water/Methanol Injection System
Why you need it:
Painless takes a traditional water/methanol system one step further with this turbocharger- and supercharger-compatible unit. Program when and how injection is turned on in line with your boost gauge, not your throttle pressure. This system uses pulse-width modulation to operate a water/methanol injection at user-defined rpm. Its advantages are increased fuel density, higher octane, cooler exhaust gasses, and programmable water curves.
Applications:
All Pontiac V-8s.
MSRP:
$812
