Drag Illustrated's Wes Buck and Mike Carpenter

Automotive brake system technical questions are among the most common questions fielded by the tech team at Summit Racing. So we brought in the braking experts to cover some of the most recurring tech questions and answers. In this episode, Bill Cummings and Dan DeKruger of LEED Brakes join us to talk brake system anatomy, braking questions, and brake system troubleshooting.

In this episode, we revisit Summit Racing's popular "Project 1000" LS build and answer some of the common viewer questions around the build. Summit Racing LS experts Brian Nutter and Mike Schmidt provide additional insight on the engine build, as well as general LS tech questions.

Holley took what it learned from its original Sniper EFI kit and applied those lessons to its Sniper 2 EFI system. Introduced late in the summer of 2023, the Sniper 2 EFI makes the process of converting to an aftermarket EFI even more hassle-free than ever before. In this episode, we look at some of the improvements made to the Sniper 2 kit and talk about how to get the most out of your Sniper 2 EFI system. 

From brittle speakers to fuzzy reception, older car radios can present some vexing problems, so we sat down with our pal Joe Rock from RetroSound to talk all about some basic troubleshooting and install tips for these vintage jamboxes. We also discussed a handful of solutions for folks that want to add modern audio capabilities to their classic car—without chopping up or otherwise upsetting the vintage aesthetic of their dash. 

The year 2023 is in our rearview, and it's on to 2024. But first, a look back at the automotive stories, new car announcements, new products, and other happenings that shaped 2023. And where do we go from here? We talk about the news we'd like to see in 2024. What is YOUR top automotive-related news items of 2023?

Grab your figgy pudding, pour a glass of nog, and crank up the Ray Conniff Singers, because it's time for the star-studded OnAllCylinders Holiday Podcast Episode Spectacular! And of course, by star-studded, we mean the staff at OnAllCylinders and some pals from Summit Racing. 

From our OnAllCylinders family to yours, enjoy this peppermint-flavored podcast episode as we reflect on holidays of yesteryear, a few of our favorite Christmas traditions, and what gifts the automotive aftermarket has given us over the decades (along with some that we hope Santa brings us soon). It's 30 minutes of hotrod holiday fun. 

While the annual SEMA Show might be the most visible component of the Specialty Equipment Market Association, the SEMA organization does a lot more to benefit the automotive aftermarket industry. Perhaps SEMA's most important efforts center on its involvement in government affairs. From emissions regulations to off-road trail access, SEMA makes sure that automotive aftermarket industry members and consumers (that's you) have a voice in these political conversations. Karen Bailey-Chapman,  Senior Vice President, Public and Government Affairs with SEMA, leads the charge to protect your hobby and our industry. We sat down with Karen to learn more about her role, as well as the key issues currently in play.

While it’s easy to get excited about jaw dropping acceleration and massive towing power, let’s make one point clear: Stopping is just as important as going. To that end, we wanted to talk with a brake expert about everything from basic brake tech all the way to disc brake conversions for classic cars and towing upgrades for late model trucks. And we found the perfect guy for the job in Tom Reid. Not only is he president and CEO of a top-tier performance brake company, SSBC-USA, Tom’s also an engineer who grew up working with his uncle’s grassroots race team.

The SEMA Show is the aftermarket industry's biggest show. It's where new products are introduced, emerging trends are uncovered, and important news is broken. So, what were some of the highlights of the 2023 SEMA Show? Our Summit Racing roundtable discuss the show and talks about some of the things that stood out when we attend the event in early November. Listen in and see what's in store for '24!

As much as we enjoy making big power on an engine dyno, keeping it pointed in the right direction is just as critical. So we sat down with our old pal Lee Grimes from Koni North America to talk all about performance suspension tuning 101.  Lee's not just a guy who knows a lot about Koni suspension parts, he's also serious racer with around 40 years of track experience under his tires. Suffice it to say, when he offers insight and tips on suspension tuning, we're inclined to listen. We invite you to listen as well!
