Tuning Essentials: Ultimate Performance Guide, 7th Edition

START YOUR ENGINES…

Ahh, I love the smell of race gas in the morning. ɬ’s annual Tuning Essentials: Ultimate Performance Guide special edition issue is upon us once more, and we’re pulling out all the stops to really put the “Performance” in Performance Auto & Sound Magazine.

With every special issue, you know you can expect a plethora of buyer’s guides to help you pick out the next mods to your vehicle, and this Performance issue intends to help you dial in your lap times and bump up your power numbers with a wide range of product guides. Intakes, exhausts, drivetrain components, suspension parts, engine essentials, forced induction, and performance electronics - you’ll find all of these and more well represented within these pages.

For this Performance special, we wanted to focus on competition cars - not just street cars for a change! The Builds to Follow section has a variety of competition cars from drag (Import Face-Off), to time attack (Global Time Attack, Canadian Sport Compact Series), and even some competition drifters (USDrift)! Additionally, there are a couple Tuner Battlegrounds regional winners highlighted - Michael Laurent (1991 Toyota Cressida) and Dustin Miles (1990 Nissan 240sx). From there we’ll move into the heavy-hitting features which include Kels' track-ready 350Z unlike any you’ve ever seen, one of the world’s fastest GT-Rs piloted by Gidi Chamdi, and Lebs Hadi's 300zx with the heart of Godzilla.

As you can expect, the above are just a small sample of the go-fast goodies you’ll find in this issue, so what are you waiting for?! As always, thanks for reading. See you at the finish line.
