Tech - Inside a 600hp Nitrous Small-Block (Thinking of building an engine specifically designed for nitrous? Follow along here for the latest ideas on how to make an engine live under the rigors of "squeeze"), New Hemi 'Cuda Project (As a special treat for Mopar fans, we begin a '71 'Cuda project that we're making into a Hemi clone. It will look like a true Hemi 'Cuda but will run better than an original one ever did - all at a fraction of the cost of a factory-built car), Dual Exhaust System Install (These days, bolt-on after-car exhaust systems are fairly easy to install. We had this DynoMax system bolted up and ready to go in about two hours), Electrical Tips (Electrical gremlins can sometimes be the most frustrating thing about working with cars. These 15 tips will provide help with some of those puzzling problems), 25 Hottest New Parts Guide (The innovations never stop when it comes to the aftermarket's inventive companies. This guide showcases 25 of the hottest new-for-'98 performance parts), MaxJet Carburetor Jets (Jetting your carb for maximum power is a tricky art. We show you a new jet that makes the process more precise) Features - '71 Chevrolet El Camino (This super-smooth El Camino will definitely end up as one of the coolest street machines of '98), '91 Chevrolet Camaro Cop Car (Tony Foti's LAPD cop car Camaro brings new meaning to the term "hot pursuit". We never knew that some police-package options included blown, alcohol-fed big-blocks), Street Super Test - '98 Firebird Trans Am WS6 (Pontiac's ultimate car is back again for 1998. This Trans Am WS6 is good enough to run with the world's best), Bonus! Real Street Shootout - Who Has The Fastest Car? (This year's RSE competition resulted in the second-closest finish in the 12 year history of the event. However, all five of these reader-built cars are true winners in some form or another), '99 Ford Galaxie 500? (Does a high-performance Crown Victoria sound like a great idea? We think so too.C'mon Ford, build it. We know you can do it), '94 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (If you have an unlimited budget and want to build a late-model F-body car into an all-conquering turbo Porsche/Viper killer, then this car shows how it should be done in the 90s), 30 Years Of Hot Wheels (Mattel, the largest automaker on the face of the earth, celebrates 30 years of the world's most prolific car line. Hot Wheels are 30 years young and, hopefully, there's no end in sight) Departments - In This Issue, Reader's Letters, Straight Scoop, Ad Index, Resto Tech, New Products, Tech Talk, Reader's Page
