OPTIMA – Batteries Deliver More Power from a Compact Size
Thanks to SPIRALCELL Technology, OPTIMA’s batteries deliver more power from a compact size, and will reliably deliver that power after years of use. The SPIRALCELL configuration of the plates and their close placement to each other allow for superior resistance to the biggest battery killers: vibration and shock which causes their flat plates to shed the active paste material on the plates. Once this material sheds, the battery becomes damaged, loses capacity, and no amount of recharging or additional electrolyte can revive it. Looking at OPTIMA’s SPIRALCELL Technology, the reason for OPTIMA’s legendary vibration resistance becomes apparent. Tightly wound and compressed into a cylinder, the plates in an OPTIMA battery simply cannot move, break, or shed their active material.
This advanced design allows OPTIMA batteries to last considerably longer than conventional batteries. Independent Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) tests prove that an OPTIMA battery can still perform after 12,000 cycles (starts). In those same tests, the life span of conventional batteries averaged only 4,000 cycles. Even when new, an ordinary battery can never match the performance of a comparable OPTIMA battery. Why spend the time and money buying several conventional batteries when a single OPTIMA battery will serve you faithfully and trouble-free for years?
Optima Batteries D27M BlueTop Group 27 Marine Battery have enough deep cycle power for stereos, GPS systems, bilge pumps, fish finders, and other high-demand electronics, while still providing plenty of cranking power to start the motor. These batteries have longer life, more vibration resistance, is completely spill-proof and mountable in almost any position and faster recharging capabilities. Damage from vibration can cause battery failure. The cells in an Optima battery are tightly compressed into supportive chambers and secured with solid cast cell connections resulting in 15 times more vibration resistance than traditional batteries. Tightly sealed cells allow for mounting in multiple positions without leaking or damaging your vehicle and glass-mat separators absorb electrolyte to eliminate acid spilling.
For those marine applications that require the clean, reliable power of our starting and deep cycle batteries, rely on the OPTIMA Blue Top. Specifically designed for marine use, our Blue Top line has all the features of our starting and deep cycle batteries. OPTIMA batteries last longer even when not used continuously. This means that after infrequent use or off-season storage, the Blue Top will still start your boat. Of course, the Blue Top also offers OPTIMA’s famous vibration resistance and sturdy zero maintenance, quick recharge, leak-free design. If there ever were a perfect battery for marine applications, OPTIMA is it!

An oil catch can is used in turbo applications, or high-performance race applications where excessive blow-by (leakage past the piston rings) of air and fuel vapor occurs. This creates a positive pressure in the crankcase. Engine manufactures have placed a valve on the engine block which releases this pressure. This valve is known as a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. During engine operation, blow-by gases, as well as oil mist from the rotating components of the engine, pass through the PCV valve and are routed back into the intake for the engine to burn off. However, some of the oil mist and other products settle along the engine intake and over time form a “gunk.” The oil catch can collects the oil mist and condenses the fuel vapors while allowing “cleaner” gases to be passed back into the intake. Typically the blow-by gasses are passed through a wire mesh, which give the vapor droplets something to adhere to. Since the oil catch cans condense the vapor portion of the gasses, they will need to be drained periodically of all the oil, fuel and other contaminants.

K&N 69-8757TTK 69 Series Black Typhoon Air Intake System
The Typhoon Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Some Typhoons have high quality finish options including polished aluminum, powder coated blue, powder coated red, and powder coated silver among others.
Product Features
- Increases horsepower and is black in color
- Reduces intake restriction and allows more air to flow into the engine
- Easy to install (usually in 90 minutes or less)
- Lasts up to 100000 miles before service is required (depending on driving conditions)
- Million mile limited warranty
Review
By RustyWaveRyder: I had been thinking about purchasing this addition to my car for awhile before I finally decided to, and I am very glad I did. The intake sounds great on my 2011 Toyota Corolla S and looks great as well under the hood. Driving regularly and shifting between 2-3k rpms almost doesn’t sound like anything has changed but when you feel like unleashing a little speed, past 3.5k rpms, it begins to sound like a whole different car! Gas mileage, according to the car’s computer has increased much more than I thought it would (I’m getting about 20-30 more miles per tank in the city, and I haven’t even checked it on the highway yet). There are a couple parts in the instructions that are very difficult but once you have it properly installed and running, it’s completely worth the money and time! Hope this review helped!!

The Chevrolet Nomad was a station wagon model made off and on from 1955 to 1972, and a Chevy Van trim package in the late 1970s and early 1980s, produced by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. The Nomad is best remembered in its two-door 1955–57 form, and was considered a halo model during its three-year production as a two-door station wagon.
The two-door Nomad differed from other station wagons of the era by having unique styling more reminiscent of a hardtop sedan than that of a standard station wagon. Chevrolet shared this body with its sister Pontiac, which marketed their version as the Pontiac Safari.
The Nomad's unique design had its roots in a General Motors Motorama show car of the same name that was based on the Corvette. The Concept was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1954 as one of Head Stylist Harley Earl's "dream cars".
GM approved production of the vehicle if the design could be transferred to its standard model, because top GM brass felt that they could sell more models if it were attached to the popular Bel Air model.
