Tuning Essentials: Performance Upgrade Guide, 9th Edition

Start Your Engines. Welcome back, ɬ fans, to another Performance Special issue of the magazine! One of our most popular issues each year, this magazine aims to spotlight some of the fastest and best handling builds out there over the past year, as well as the parts that make them what they are.

As you flip through the pages of our Performance Special, you’ll be greeted with all sorts of inspiration for your track and performance street builds. We have our Builds to Follow section which features a wide variety of track star competitors from Global Time Attack, World Cup Finals, and TX2K21, as well as a handful of features highlighting some of the top performance builds we could get our hands on.

You may have noticed Ryan Litteral’s S15 Silvia on the cover. If you aren’t familiar, this is one of the craziest privateer drift builds in history, with an RB that makes the earth shake and all of the suspension components to keep the chassis sideways. Litteral breaks down the build for us in detail, and shows that the future of their team in Formula Drift is looking exciting. You'll also read about Sherwin Pacquette, one of the hottest up and coming names in Hillclimb racing, and his purpose-built Evo X.

Of course, the Performance Special isn’t complete without all of the latest and greatest performance-centric parts for your rides. Performance Essentials, Drivetrain, Suspension, Forced Induction, Exhausts, and Brakes buyer’s guides are all found here, so be ready to take notes and open those wallets if you’re looking for that extra advantage!

There is so much more to this issue as well, so what are you waiting for?

As always, thanks for reading. We’ll see you at the track!
