If you're a car aficionado and strive to produce prodigious power numbers you have to love this time of year. On the heels of SEMA and after a week of traveling around SoCal gathering material for future articles (you'll be seeing those roll out in early 2013) SVTP makes its annual pilgrimage to Orlando, FL for the 2012 edition of the Performance Racing Industry ("PRI") tradeshow. For those of you not familiar with PRI, think of it as SEMA without all the bling (or the ability to walk down the street chugging a bottle of party liquor like it's a bottle of water with impunity). PRI is the industry show for those who make, sell, and supply the hardware for hardcore go-fast parts. It's basically Candyland for gear heads.

This year several SVTP Vendors either had displays (such as Livernois Motorsports, VMP Tuning, Magnuson Superchargers, and American Racing Headers) or were in attendance (such as Lethal Performance, Team Beefcake, BBR, MGW, American Muscle AED, BAS, and KEM Tuning). Ford Racing had a great display featuring tons of new parts that will be available in 2013. We gather the best of our pics (we took over 1,000) here in this thread so you can get an idea for how awesome this show really is. We have over 400 pics up on the site for you guys. You can get to all of them by clicking the links at the bottom of this post.



SVTP vendor Magnuson Superchargers had a display showing off a few of their impressive power-adders.

PRI_2012_044.jpg



Fluidyne had their brand new Boss 302R radiator on display.

PRI_2012_053.jpg



SVTP Vendor Livernois Motorsports had lots of crate engines on display. This 5.0 comes stuffed with goodies.

PRI_2012_330.jpg



Livernois is the undisputed leader in the EcoBoost aftermarket. This 3.5L shortblock is their latest offering.

PRI_2012_096.jpg



They even had a few parts there just to show off their machining capabilities.

PRI_2012_097.jpg



Think porting this 3.5L EcoBoost head will improve flow much?

PRI_2012_099.jpg



For you Raptor owners Livernois has a 6.6L stroker engine for you.

PRI_2012_101.jpg



Livernois said their EcoBoost tuning packages has been receiving great reviews from customers and selling great.

PRI_2012_102.jpg



For high-RPM uses Livernois claims its 6.2L rocker-shaft braces add substantial durability to ford's big gas motor.

PRI_2012_103.jpg



If you're serious about drag racing Weld Racing has the wheels for you.

PRI_2012_107.jpg



Let's hope I never put a Focus ST on its side like this.

PRI_2012_109.jpg



Ford Racing had a wall full of Focus ST upgrades.

PRI_2012_110.jpg



ST owners may like this new exhaust. It's quality looked great.

PRI_2012_114.jpg



I suspect the Focus ST coil-over kit from FRPP will be very popular.

PRI_2012_116.jpg



Eibach manufactures them in the US for FRPP.

PRI_2012_117.jpg



Ford Racing has a cooling fan upgrade for S-197 Mustangs.

PRI_2012_120.jpg



To make life easier for those installing FRPPs FR3 suspension on your S-197 Mustang you can now order it with the front struts pre-assembled. You'll no long have to find a spring compressor to complete the install.

PRI_2012_123.jpg



I know a few guys with ealier GT500s who are waiting on this 6- Piston Brembo brake kit with 15-inch two-piece rotors.

PRI_2012_124.jpg



Here's the info. Dropping 10lbs will be nice.

PRI_2012_125.jpg



These BBS Boss 302S wheels are sick. I could see a set of the on the SVTP GT in the future.

PRI_2012_127.jpg



CPe had their Ford fuel system components on display.

PRI_2012_004.jpg



If you have some engines to rebuild you might want to look into getting one of these.

PRI_2012_007.jpg



I'm pretty sure this is something that Ironman uses.

PRI_2012_009.jpg



This fabrication table from Trick Tools is awesome.

PRI_2012_011.jpg



Whiteline suspension was showing off its full Mustang suspension system. Word is that it's available from Lethal Performance.

PRI_2012_013.jpg



AFR is bringing modern composite intake manifolds to old-school engines.

PRI_2012_024.jpg



I really want a SuperFlow Dyno.

PRI_2012_025.jpg



This was easily my favorite car at the show. I wish cars still had this kind of style.

PRI_2012_026.jpg



It was so clean.

PRI_2012_027.jpg



Anyone need an F-650?

PRI_2012_028.jpg



45 seconds in this thing is as good as a 10 minute shower.

PRI_2012_029.jpg



Jon Kaase Boss motor, I so want one of these.

PRI_2012_034.jpg



6.7L Cummins block, beefy.

PRI_2012_041.jpg



This tensioner setup on this Whipple powered Chevy is trick.

PRI_2012_063.jpg



The SVTP GT really needs this 8-Rib belt conversion from Innovators West.

PRI_2012_065.jpg



Aluminum block Boss 520, the thing dreams are made of.

PRI_2012_066.jpg



Full billet engine blocks seem to be getting more popular.

PRI_2012_068.jpg



You'd probably have a bin of chips like this after machining one.

PRI_2012_071.jpg



Something doesn't seem quite right here.

PRI_2012_073.jpg



SLA rapid prototyping machines continue to lower in price, making it much easier for crafty entrepreneurs to bring their products to market.

PRI_2012_082.jpg



These Melling oil pumps are examples of what you can make with an SLA machine.

PRI_2012_083.jpg



Every shop needs one of these.

PRI_2012_086.jpg



Aeromotive has a new fuel hat for 2010-2013 Mustangs.

PRI_2012_088.jpg



Manley had a huge piston display.

PRI_2012_135.jpg



The Original Rat Trap, awesome.

PRI_2012_136.jpg



So sick.

PRI_2012_138.jpg



The stages of machining a camshaft.

PRI_2012_139.jpg



You never know who will show up at PRI.

PRI_2012_141.jpg



Kooks had their wicked dragster with them.

PRI_2012_142.jpg



The more I see Airaid's carbon fiber Mustang intake the more I like it.

PRI_2012_147.jpg



Royal Purple was busy informing buyers and attendees about their new products, including their new fuel system cleaner.

PRI_2012_149.jpg



This would probably be a hit in the SVTP gun porn thread.

PRI_2012_150.jpg



Race spec Dodge Viper.

PRI_2012_157.jpg



The Mopar 572 Hemi is a huge engine. It has to weigh a ton.

PRI_2012_158.jpg



Yes, a 7 year old girl drives this mini-monster truck.

PRI_2012_165.jpg


SCT had a great reception for all of its dealers and a few select friends.

PRI_2012_173.jpg



I'm disturbed by how turned on I am by this.

PRI_2012_175.jpg


Kooks had a massive display.

PRI_2012_177.jpg



A couple Turbonetics turbos probably wake this Porsche up a little.

PRI_2012_183.jpg


Anyone need some forged diesel connecting rods? Carrillo can help you out.

PRI_2012_196.jpg



After walking the show all day I was about as hungry as this guy.

PRI_2012_207.jpg


SVTP Vendor VMP Tuning had its new TVS based blowers on display.

PRI_2012_209.jpg



These helmets were priced at $15. That seems legit.

PRI_2012_220.jpg


Mahle was showing off some of its diesel pistons.

PRI_2012_222.jpg



Billet compressor wheels apparently come in various sizes.

PRI_2012_229.jpg



SVTP Vendor American Racing Headers had a great display.

PRI_2012_235.jpg



ARH's headers are very popular with Raptor owners.

PRI_2012_236.jpg



Anyone interested in a twin-turbo GT500?

PRI_2012_242.jpg



With a billet plenum?

PRI_2012_243.jpg



FRPP has a new shortblock that should interest lots of SVTP members. It's a 4.6L based 5.0L stroker aluminum engine.

PRI_2012_259.jpg



Ford Racing calls it the 46X. I call it perfect for my DD Explorer.

PRI_2012_260.jpg



These Borg Warner turbos are now the world standard for OEM quality and performance.

PRI_2012_257.jpg



VMP Tuning had there mobile dynojet with them.

PRI_2012_265.jpg



This combo should make decent power.

PRI_2012_266.jpg



This looks perfect for running to the grocery store.

PRI_2012_267.jpg



Yeah, there's a few things to see here.

PRI_2012_273.jpg



Magnuson has a new supercharger for 3.8L Jeep Wrangler owners.

PRI_2012_279.jpg



The Driveshaft Shop can help you with your driveline needs.

PRI_2012_299.jpg



5.0 editors Steve Turner and KJ Jones. I'm sure something devious in the works here.

PRI_2012_302.jpg



Premier clutch manufacturer McLeod was in attendance.

PRI_2012_310.jpg



McLeod's RXT twin-disc clutch for the MT-82 transmission goes a long way towards making that trans a lot more pleasant to drive.

PRI_2012_313.jpg



My theory is that Procharger puts these blowers under glass to protect them from drool.

PRI_2012_321.jpg



Livernois has some awesome porting options for modular heads.

PRI_2012_328.jpg



The new Ford Fusion NASCAR.

PRI_2012_332.jpg



The stages of machining a forged I-beam connecting rod, brought to you by Manley.

PRI_2012_340.jpg



If you're looking to install a 5.0L Coyote in a Fox body Kooks has some long tube headers to get the most out of your swap.

PRI_2012_343.jpg



Word is VMP got 800RWHP out of this Boss 302 with their TVS blower kit.

PRI_2012_352.jpg



Precision Turbos had a nice display so you could fondle their billet wheels.

PRI_2012_354.jpg



I know it's a Chevy, but I'd drive it.

PRI_2012_375.jpg



ARH basically built a tower of win.

PRI_2012_380.jpg



I need this driving simulator, NOWWW!!!!

PRI_2012_391.jpg



Yes, that is a Wankel powered trike.

PRI_2012_392.jpg



SVTP loves free beer.

PRI_2012_411.jpg



Friend of the site Arrington Performance had a display front and center in the Mopar booth.

PRI_2012_413.jpg

WTF THE ROTORS!!!! lol.

That was unexpected why hasn't someone made a thread of this sooner? Now we finally have a true brembo upgrade for 13 brakes. Is this just rotors or an entire assembly? Also was it 10 pounds for each wheel or 10 pounds total front. Also do they have a matching rear set?

There's a ton of money there, but SEMA is on a completely different level. I'm always blown away by the organization it takes to put on a show like this.

That's the best part about PRI, running into guys from the site. You may see me down at VMP in the next couple months.:beer:

good to see you again Travis!

Lots of good products, picked up a bunch of new lines myself at the show.

Whiteline,
ARH,
Replay
Weld

Just to name a few!

It's bittersweet the show is moving to indy next year. No palm trees, but only 1 1/2 hr drive for me!
