Rod Authority's Ultimate Holiday Buyer's Guide

Yup, it’s that time of year again. Christmas songs in every store (starting way too early it seems), decorations, trees, and lights galore – enough of that rhyming stuff. Let’s just get down to the brass tacks of it. Car guys absolutely LOVE Christmas! And generally it’s not because of the cheerful music and bountiful feasts of food (although that part doesn’t suck), but more along the lines of the annual excuse to actually get away with buying car parts galore!

We can actually get away with, not only buying ourselves some goodies for our never-ending projects, but somehow – if we’re lucky enough – we can even convince those closest to us to go out and take advantage of all of the great holiday deals to score even more worthy parts from those we love.

This year we rallied the troops to scrounge up some of the coolest automotive parts and accessories along with the hottest deals out there for the holidays. So, whether you’ve been mildly naughty and only deserving of some Stocking Stuffers, or if you’ve just scratched the surface of Nice, all the way to the REALLY Nice list – we’ve got something for everyone. Open up that email window and get your “copy and paste” on, send your favorites to the wife, family, or anyone else you can talk into furnishing your wish list – Happy Holidays everyone!

This translates into an increased life span for all valve train components. The design lowers horsepower losses and nets more power as well. The conical design accomplishes damping without wear, heat, friction or risk such as flat dampers from interference contact.

Scorpion Performance

Price: See website
Contact: ScorpionPerformance.com, (352) 512-0800

Scorpion Racing Products offers shaft-mounted rocker arms for the small-block Chevy. Developed to withstand endurance racing applications, the shaft system helps maintain proper position of the rocker over the valve and smoothly transfer camshaft motion. Since the rockers are mounted on a single, horizontal shaft — rather than on separate studs that may flex — valve train stability, stiffness and geometry are improved considerably. A stable valvetrain results in better performance and potential for more horsepower.

Scorpion Racing Products offers a full-bodied roller rocker arm designed for high performance engines. Design features include a lower profile and shorter polylocks for better fitment under most stock valve covers.The rockers are available in a variety of ratios and are CNC machined from aerospace-grade 7000 series aluminum for maximum strength. These are suitable lightweight rockers for endurance racing engines required to race all season as they can easily handle 950 pounds of spring pressure, and they’re made in America!
