We gathered information from books, performance industry know-it-alls, and the world wide web and we packaged it up into a great little timeline that starts with the earliest Holley carburetors starting in 1903 and still going strong with great new carburetor designs almost 110 years later in 2012.
With plans for All-Air’s carbureted LSX mill to produce well over 800 horsepower, there is going to be a raging inferno going on underneath those cylinder heads. To keep that fire fed with plenty of fuel, we turned to two of the most trusted names in fuel systems today – MagnaFuel and Earl’s Fittings…
Is there really anything more to racing fuel than octane numbers? We talk to a couple of experts in the field to find out what you REALLY should know about racing fuel.
Any moderate to high horsepower engine needs an aftermarket fuel pump. The problem is, what pump do you need? We explore the different types of belt and electric drive pumps to help you pick the optimal piece for your project!
Thanks to Meziere and AFCO, All Air will keep its cool without lugging around a lot of excess weight, and we know that we’ve got dependable components that won’t require a lot of attention or maintenance; always a plus when you’re hustling in the pits between rounds.
There’s nothing like the look and feel from a Holley double-pumper carburetor. However, just like other mechanical parts, a carb needs periodic rebuilding to keep it metering efficiently. We show you some tips and give the step by step details on how to rebuild one for your mill.
With mechanical fuel pumps being redesigned to pump more volume at a higher rate than the stock versions of the muscle car era, why would you want to upgrade to an electric fuel pump? We take a good look at Holley’s new billet inline electric fuel pumps in this product review.

Before we can revel in the beauty of freshly repainted and dutifully re-straightened classic muscle car sheet metal, we need to assemble and trial fit most everything. Today’s mission was simple enough: install Aeromotive’s Stealth Fuel Cell, Performance EFI regulator, 100-micron fuel filter.

Every racer wants an advantage. It’s in our very nature. Sometimes we overlook the simple stuff and the importance of what is fueling our race car. So what is the magic “rocket” fuel to launch you quicker and faster than the next guy to victory lane? What fuel is best for your hot street steed? Find out here.
Right now, with her supercharged 6.2-liter CTS-V LSA plant resting between the fenderwells, we’ve had Swinger all but totally plumbed for the big ol’ Aeromotive fuel cell, electric fuel pump, and a whole lot of steel braided line.
Assembling a race car’s fuel system can be one enormous confusing headache, but it doesn’t need to be.
