For over 60 years, Auto Meter has been one of the top names in aftermarket gauges. Now, the company is branching out into more sophisticated electronics for your vehicle.

One of the products on display at Auto Meter’s booth at the 2013 SEMA Show was this boost controller. This Boost Controller offers complete control over a turbocharged car in a standard size 2 1/16″ gauge with no external control box or module.

I’ll let Joseph Mills from Auto Meter explain more about what makes their gauge so unique in this video:

We would also like to congratulate Auto Meter on winning a SEMA Award for Best Performance-Street Product. Congratulations!

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think much about the tires on your car. But for Coker Tire, it’s more than just the rubber meeting the road – it’s their business.

For 2013, the folks at Coker Tire have come up with a new line of tires that I think are pretty noteworthy. We met up with Jess Hoodenpyle at the SEMA Show to hear what he has to say about Coker’s new American Classic line of tires.

We’d also like to send the folks at Coker Tire our congratulations on winning a SEMA Award for Best New Product. Way to go!

In honor of its 100th anniversary, the Ford Motor Company produced a limited production supercar from 2004 to 2006. Known as the Ford GT, this mid-engined marvel had a production run of just 4,038 vehicles.

The folks over at Galpin Auto Sports wondered: what if Ford had kept making the GT? What would it look like today? Based on that concept, they created the GTR 1 supercar.

This amazing car is based on the Ford GT, but features some significant changes. Check out the video below to learn more about the Galpin Ford GTR-1.

There was a lot of buzz at this year’s SEMA show about the new 2014 C7 Corvette. We met up with Jason Haines from Lingenfelter Performance Engineering to hear about some of the different packages they are working on for this car.

The team at LPE have not yet released the official numbers for their C7 Corvette performance kits. The car at their booth is a prototype, but it’s probably pretty close to what the final package will look like.

I’m currently in the media center at the Las Vegas Convention Center right now. In front of me a dude with a pony-nub is editing a video of Geoff Tate of Queensryche. Behind me, some British dude talking about American health care. You think there’d be a lot more of the car stuff going on, but you’d be wrong. I’ve finally found salvation from the madness of plastic body kits (on both cars and women) that is the SEMA show.

So to spit in the eye of all the new and exciting bullshit that you’re going to hear about non-stop everywhere else, I’d like to focus first on this beautiful B-body. Everyone loves a fullsize, but this W-series Chevy big block that resides under this hood is the real show stopper. Gorgeous archaic design philosophy at work.

Remembering SEMA 2012

I find myself sitting here writing this nostalgia piece because right now is the one year anniversary of Generation: High Output’s first trip to Las Vegas and our first trip to SEMA. I’ve said it before and you may be able to see it in the goings on of the site: We’re a small operation. That night one year ago, we all piled into a car halfway through the show’s run late Halloween night (So I could take my daughter on her first Trick-or-treat outing) and hauled ass into the cold, dark desert in the hopes of enjoying the last two days there and getting a taste of what SEMA was all about.
