PRODUCTS & PRESS MSD FRONT DRIVE DISTRIBUTORS FOR BIG BLOCK & SMALL BLOCK CHEVYS THE IMPACT PHENOM SUIT & HELMET ■ The Phenom DS, 2-layer suit blends European styling with Made in the USA craftsmanship to achieve a stylish, comfortable suit. Hand-crafted from lightweight sa- teen Nomex® the Phenom DS is both FIA homologated, and certi- fied to the SFI 3.2-A/5 specifica- tion. This allows the suit to be used in more series than conventional FIA homologated, or SFI certified only suits. The Impact Phenom DS also features V-stitch quilting for exceptional thermal performance; a 180 degree belt, and inset pockets for superior comfort! Phenom SS Helmet The Phenom SS helmet line is a re- sult of over 40 years of research and development experience, including wind tunnel testing. The new range was designed to meet the require- ments of the new FIA 8859-2015 & the New Snell SA2015 ratings. Using a proprietary Carbon-Kevlar composition, the shells offer greater strength at a lighter weight than helmets manufactured from tra- ditional fiberglass composites. The 66 | D r a g helmets have also been wind-tun- nel tested to maximize exterior vent placement and flow, while reduc- ing buffeting in open cockpit ap- plications. Impact also introduces a new size: Medium/Large. This M/L size takes advantage of using the smaller shell which is lighter and more compact. The Phenom SS features a car- bon-Kevlar/fiberglass construction. It includes a wide, peripheral eye opening that can be used for open wheel or closed cockpit driving. Multiple exterior vents increase circulation to a redesigned interior. The interior has channels which not only cool the driver, but has ad- ditional channels which route air towards the shield, which reduces the chance of shield fogging. The Phenom SS has removable, wash- able padding that can be reposi- tioned for a comfortable fit. All interior seams have been removed from areas where greater pressure is exerted on the head. The Phenom SS has been designed to accommo- date a drink tube and an intercom system. Available in flat black only, sizes XS to XXL (new size M/L). The Phenom SS has Hans clips pre- installed, which can easily be re- moved and replaced with the FHR post of your choice. FIA 8859-2015 (with Hans posts installed) and Snell SA2015 approved (regard- less of FHR posts installed). I l l u s t r a t e d | DragIllustrated.com ■ Holley is pleased to announce the release of MSD Pro-Billet Front Drive Distributors. Devel- oped for both big block and small block Chevys, they’re perfect for race engines that need a cam-sync signal for EFI systems but don’t have room for a standard distribu- tor because of inadequate firewall clearance or bulky intake setups. MSD Pro-Billet Front Drive Dis- tributors feature an adjustable Hall Effect sync pickup with a built-in LED for easy adjustments, an extra-wide 9mm belt driven by a pulley on the camshaft, and a band-clamp mount for fast, easy rotor-phasing. They come com- plete with a billet-aluminum bracket and lower housing, a billet distributor head, and a new gear for the camshaft.
