Over the years, the performance aftermarket has begun to truly push the horsepower limits of many popular engine applications.  And with today’s aggressive cam profiles and innovative valve train combinations, engineers at COMP Cams® decided it was time to design a valve spring to reduce stress and increase valve train stability. Using a new dynamic modeling system that optimizes a spring’s design and pitch profile before prototype production, COMP® engineers were able to design and run through several development cycles before the first spring was ever even produced. The result was the most high-tech of all COMP Cams® valve springs, the #26926, a professional race quality, lightweight, small O.D. dual spring capable of high loads and an extended maximum lift.

The K&N High-Flow Intake System for the 2008-10 Subaru WRX STI, (part no. 69-8005TTK) increases horsepower by 17.52 hp at 5260 rpm over the stock intake configuration. To achieve such a performance increase, K&N replaces the original intake assembly; including the air box, air filter and intake tube with an all-new intake design. The new system draws air through a K&N High-Flow Air Filter that increases airflow and never needs to be replaced. Protecting the cone-shaped air filter, and isolating it from engine heat, is a powder coated heat shield that replaces the stock air box. As it passes the filter, air travels through a K&N mandrel bent aluminum tube that is formed and shaped, in the design phase, to drive a more laminar flow of air to the car’s engine.
