The numbers game that is SEMA is nothing short of mind-boggling. Two million square feet of automotive excess divided up into 11 sections. More than 2,000 new products including parts, tools and accessories are beholden upon a good 100,000 or so SEMA-goers. More than 100 countries' worth of industry leaders, movers, shakers, even those not so inclined to lead, move or shake, roam the city of sin's convention center depths in search of what they-and those pushing it-consider the next big thing, which indelibly ranges from anything from silly donk accessories to the not so silly go-fast bits we usually seem to rave over. Much goes on at the industry-only, once-a-year Vegas-based gala-like event, but as usual, what we care most about are the parts.

FAST has recently released its true, plug-and-play wideband air/fuel sensor kit that's compatible with just about any data acquisition system. Single and dual sensor kits are available. |

The Thruster EFI is Accel's latest addition to sequential-firing, stand-alone engine management systems. The Thruster is, of course, programmable, upgradable, features nitrous control and data acquisition capabilities and even works with low-impedance injectors. | 
Garrett's turbocharger speed sensor is quite possibly the most innovative new product we've seen in some time. Shaft speeds can either be data logged or monitored directly through the supplied speed sensor gauge. | 
PLX Devices rolled out several new products this year including the all-new iMFD DM-5 52mm digital gauges, which offer data logging and playback. Also on hand were the plug-and-play, OBDII-compatible DM-200 series gauges offered in 60mm sizes and the impressive R-800 wideband computer that offers logging for up to 32 iMFD sensors. |
