The name Justin Burcham of JPC racing is no stranger to the pages of car magazines or the internet. Justin has been on the bleeding edge of Ford and Mustang performance for years. We remember him on Drag Week 2005 with one of the first “retro” Mustangs we had ever seen. We also remember him [...]

Longtime BangShift.com sponsor MSD Ignition is on hand at the SEMA show and making big waves.

I nabbed four clips off of YouTube for this week’s videos, all of them showing what can go wrong on a chassis dyno. Many of us here have countless dyno pulls under our belts, and it’s easy to get slack about the disasters that can occur even with low-powered cars. I was at Westech one [...]
