T H E D Y N O #McLeodEquipped ® From the Street to the Strip McLeod has you covered. www.mcleodracing.com DANNY SAYS “SWAIN IS NOT SNAKE OIL” Danny Kellermeyer is a Corvette guy with a winning career in road racing. Every year he tests new products. Most are snake oil. Early on Danny discovered Swain Tech coatings and has used them since. He coats pistons, valves, cylinder heads, headers and brakes. “Swain is awesome for improving VE* and power but heat control and durability are most important. At a 100°+Texas Motor Speedway day we cooked an engine. A radiator hose broke during qualifying and we overheated the engine severely. I knew the engine was toast, but we fixed the hose and were able to do the race and finish on the podium. We didn’t have time for a tear down because Lime Rock was a week away. We ran the car again and it was a champ. We ran the rest of the season with that engine and it got faster as we went. On tear down the engine was beautiful with little wear and damage from the overheat”. Danny puts about 5,000 race and track day miles on his C6 and C7 engines without tear downs. Without Swain coatings he’d have to rebuild after 3,000 miles. Don’t race without Swain coatings. * VE Volumetric Efficiency SWAIN TECH COATINGS www.swaintech.com 585-889-2790 Scottsville, NY 14546 108 | D r a g I l l u s t r a t e d | dragillustrated.com Swain 2017 Ad A Kellermeyer Engine Ad • 3.75x3.25 • DragIllustrated Issue 123
