02 PUMP IT UP
AN ELECTRIC fuel pump has to be fairly efficient to feed 1250hp without burning out. That’s where FUELAB’S new High Efficiency Twin-screw Fuel Pump comes in. The twin-screw rotor design efficiently moves fuel where it has to go while drawing less current. Compatible with pump fuel, diesel, methanol and ethanol, the pump’s design offers greater resistance to fuel cavitation. Flowing 500lph at 45psi and 13.5V, a maximum operating pressure of 125psi is available. For more information on FUELAB products, visit summitracing.com.

04 START SOMETHING
BLUEWIRE Automotive’s LS engine-start dash panels with 30mm billet buttons are great for hot rods, show cars and street cars alike. The system has a safety lock-out in that it will only function when the footbrake is being applied, preventing accidental start-ups. Illumination is configured so that it is active when the button is pushed and while the ignition is on.

05 ELITISM
HALTECH has yanked the covers off its new Elite 1000 ECU, which fills a gap in the current line-up and provides a suitable replacement for the soon-to-be-discontinued Platinum Series Sport 1000. The Elite 1000 is positioned between the Elite 550 and Elite 1500, and is aimed at tuners who want more features than the Elite 550 offers but don’t need all the additional race functions available in the Elite 1500. Priced from $1745 for the ECU only; $1995 with a Basic Universal Wire-in Kit; or $2145 with a Premium Universal Wire-in Kit. For more information, visit www.haltech.com or call (02) 9729 0999.
06 FLARE-UP
THE Aeroflow Brake Flaring Tool is the fastest way to get a professional single or double flare, every time. This easy-to-use flare tool comes with six assorted metric and imperial dies (for 45-degree flares), including the popular 3/16-inch brake line, which requires a double flare to meet ADR standards. This flaring tool produces convex and double flares to SAE and DIN standards, while the smooth die doesn’t mark the tubing.
