STAINLESS STEEL HEDMAN HEDDERS
After more than 50 years of manufacturing hedders using mild steel materials, Hedman Hedders, located in Whittier, California, announces the introduction of performance hedders manufactured using Type 304 stainless steel flanges and primary tubes.
Only a handful of manufacturers build their hedders in stainless. In most cases, these manufacturers use Type 409 stainless steel. Type 409 stainless is used in the production of automotive exhaust products for it's substantial heat and corrosion resistance at an affordable price.
Hedman Hedders has taken hedder manufacturing to the next level by electing to use Type 304 stainless steel in the production of it's stainless line of hedders, instead of less expensive 409. "Although more expensive than 409 stainless, we [Hedman Hedders] have chosen to use 304 stainless because the higher Chromium and Nickel content of this alloy provides superior heat and corrosion resistance than 409 stainless. Also, the 304 material will not rust or flake like 409 stainless steel. This means Hedman's Stainless Hedders will retain a cleaner look, and hold up to extreme temperatures better than 409 stainless Hedders.", claims Kevin Vandergriff, VP/Director of Operations at Hedman Manufacturing.
Hedman's Stainless hedders use sturdy 3/8" thick, laser cut flanges and as with any Hedman Hedder, all primary tubes have smooth flowing mandrel bends.

FAST XFI Intelligent Traction Control Upgrade
Make your FAST XFI even better with the new Intelligent Traction Control software, which helps avoid tire slippage and improves track times. Previously, this feature was only available when purchasing a new FAST XFI with the Intelligent Traction Control feature already included, but now owners of earlier version XFI units can send their original unit back to FAST and, for a fee, can upgrade to the new Intelligent Traction Control version. FAST service technicians will convert your XFI unit and assemble it with a new black anodized Intelligent Traction Control enclosure.
Utilizing state-of-the-art predictive software in conjunction with the most sophisticated electronics in the industry, the new Intelligent Traction Control software system continually measures driveshaft speed to accurately determine when to reduce engine power through ignition cutoff or retard to eliminate traction loss due to tire spin. Competing systems often make incorrect power adjustments as a result of measuring inaccurate traction indicators like engine rpm that is subject to spikes from clutch disengagement or torque converter slippage.
In addition, all XFI Data Logging features are retained with this upgrade. Adding the Intelligent Traction Control features does not diminish the standard XFI features you have grown to know and depend on. But drag racers looking for a product that helps increase performance consistency, down track stability and better overall drivability will welcome this modification. Even street car owners who encounter tire spin will find Intelligent Traction Control a huge help when driving high performance vehicles, such as Cobra kit cars, that are challenged by high power to weight ratios. For any application where sticking the power to the pavement is difficult, Intelligent Traction Control is the only way to go.
