Now that we've had time to process what we saw at the ’07 SEMA show, we 're going to cover all the cool stuff we saw in Vegas.

ACCEL
Stand-alone, engine-management systems are somewhat of a “norm” these days, for street and race ‘Stangs that put more than 500 horses on the pavement. We sat in on Elie Nahed’s tutorial about the new “Thruster EFI (PN 77011; 999.90 w/standard O2, and 77011W; 1399.90 w/wideband O2)” Ford V8 system from ACCEL [(248) 380-2780; www.accel-dfi.com] and were very impressed by its features and more so it’s price. These affordable and user-friendly EFI setups, along with ACCEL’s billet distributor, coil and fuel injectors, make up a great package for dialing-in naturally aspirated or power-adder-assisted performance. We’ll be taking a closer look at Thruster EFI in the months to come, as it’s the system that will be calling the shots on our Boss 340 project engine.
