New Products

Design Engineering Inc. (DEI) has announced the release of its new Under Hood Thermal Lining. The product was, according to the company, primarily designed for engine compartments as a way to greatly reduce heat and noise with a peel-and-stick application as extreme engine heat and noise are often a problem in modified vehicles featuring high-performance components.

Made of ¾-inch-thick industrial-acoustic-grade foam with a reinforced aluminum covering, Under Hood Thermal Acoustic Lining not only insulates the underside of hoods but also serves as a sound deadener and thermal control while protecting paint finishes, according to DEI. The product can also be for noise control on generator boxes and various industrial applications, such as HVAC.

Welcome to the LS revolution.
Over the past few years, LS engine technology has revolutionized the GM performance aftermarket. Gen IV engines have set a new standard for factory horsepower and torque. To meet the growing demand of today’s high performance engine builders and racing enthusiasts, engineers at RHS® have recently designed an all-new LS engine block for radical street and all-out racing applications.
Going beyond the limitations of other GM LS blocks, the LS Race Block is available in both standard (9.240") and tall (9.750") deck height combinations and is engineered for maximum clearance around a 4.600" stroke crankshaft. This was done by raising the camshaft centerline (.388"/9.86mm) and including priority main oiling that shifts the oil galley outboard. With this unique design, RHS® engineers were also able to minimize windage in the rotating assembly – leading to superior engine lubrication at higher rpm.
