Welcome to Holley's Gearhead Newsletter! This is where we get to share what's new at Holley and beyond!
Handing over the keys
This is the last edition of Gearhead News that I'll be sending out. I've enjoyed my time providing you with the latest stories, products, and other updates from Holley, but it's time for me to take the next step in my life. Although I'll still be tinkering with my projects, I've handed the keys of this newsletter over to a new Holley employee who you'll meet below. Don't worry though, he's an F-body owner and gearhead as well. So before I go, I just wanted to say thank you to all of the readers out there who make this newsletter possible. I hope that all of you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed producing it. Keep wrenchin' - Liz

Carbon Black Intake Manifolds
We’ve introduced a new ceramic coating to match the subdued engine bays that have become so popular. We know that polished aluminum or chrome isn't the answer for everyone, so we've come up with the Carbon Black coating for our intake manifolds. Not only does it look great, but it is also heat and corrosion resistant. To top it all off, it's an easy to clean finish so you can keep your engine bay looking squared away with minimal effort. To see our complete line of intake manifolds, click HERE. Don't see what you want in Carbon Black? Don't fret, Holley will be releasing this option on more intakes in the near future.
Racer Success
If your race car has a blue oval on the front of it, you probably know that the NMRA season came to a close in our hometown of Bowling Green on October 5th. We wanted to give "Bad" Bart Tobener a special congratulations. Bart tore through the NMRA Edlebrock Renegade field all year, bringing home four victories and becoming the first in the class to eclipse the 7 second barrier. For the complete story, click HERE. Bart utilizes a Holley Dominator EFI system. To see what Holley EFI can do for you, hit the jump HERE.

My car on the dyno
Here's a short clip of my car during some initial tuning. This is on low boost which is around 11-12 psi. Next time around, we'll see what it does on 20+ psi!
Holley's People News Hey guys and girls, I'm Alex Healey, the new editor of this newsletter. I recently graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in English. I also spent seven years in the Kentucky Army National Guard as a mechanic, during which I deployed to Iraq for Operation New Dawn. I've been a gearhead since birth, and I've been fortunate enough to own many cool cars over the years, but this Trans Am is the only one that has stuck. It's gone from daily driver, to a 10 second street/strip car...
... to this. My aspirations have progressed much faster than the car has over the past five years. The car has almost caught up to where I want it to be thanks to a lot of help from the guys down at Late Model Racecraft. The car now features a Forged LS2 put together by Late Model Engines, an ATI Powerglide and converter, Burkhart Chassis rear suspension, and a 76mm Precision Turbo pressurizing the intake charge. I hope to break into the 8s next spring once everything is ironed out.
Stay tuned over the next few months as my car continues to evolve. I plan to throw some Holley parts at it, including a Holley Dominator EFI ECU, in the neverending search for more power!
