FAST Wireless Wideband Air Fuel Ratio
The FAST Wireless Wideband Air Fuel Ratio Kits measure your engine’s air/fuel ratio and send that data to your Apple or Android phone via a Bluetooth module installed under the hood that is connected to the oxygen sensor(s). That makes for a superclean installation with a minimum of wiring and no gauges to mount.
The FAST Wireless Wideband Air Fuel Ratio Kits include the module, single or dual Bosch LSU 4.9 oxygen sensors, sensor bung or bungs, and wiring. The kit for dual O2 sensors allows you to monitor each sensor individually or average both together and has a built in data logger that records up to 2 minutes of air/fuel and rpm data. More handy features include preloaded fuel calibrations for gasoline, all popular ethanol blends, methanol, and diesel, 0-5V output for external data loggers and digital gauges, and selectable module output through the use as an rpm-activated window switch, a lean air/fuel ratio safety cutoff, or an antitheft device.

Summit Racing’s Brake Job Completion Kit
Servicing disc brakes isn’t a difficult job, especially when you have the right tools at hand. Summit Racing Disc Brake Service Parts Combo has the tools you need in one package.
The Motive Products Power Bleeder Kit uses pressurized brake fluid to force air and old fluid out of your brake lines. Then you will need the Lisle Brake Bleeder Wrenches in their combo with an offset design for easy access to screws. It includes wrenches for 1/4- and 3/8-inch, 8- and 10-mm screws. Now for clean up, OEM Automotive Tools Brake Caliper Brush features extra-durable stainless steel angled wire bristles to clean brake calipers, shims, and other areas when doing brake work. Also, Mueller Kueps Uni-Hooks are made from bendable aluminum so you can hang brake calipers safely out of the way. Lastly, having dedicated pans for oil, coolant, and so on, helps prevent contamination—a big deal when you take fluid to the recycler. The Dorman Drain Pan in Summit’s combo holds 15 quarts and has a breather vent, center plug, and a handle for easy pouring.
Summit Racing Non-Chlorinated Brake Cleaner cleans and decreases and the Permatex Ultra Disc Brake Caliper Lubricant is formulated to lubricate critical caliper pins, sleeves, bushings, and pistons under the most adverse brake conditions. Rounding out the combo are Summit Racing Textured Nitrile Gloves and Summit Racing Scott Towels in a Box.
