From the Archive: 1997 Competition Associates SuperSport Yukon:
Barry Brown is the kind of person who likes to do things himself. For example, when he discovered during the filming of his moviethat conventional movie cameras could not handle the g-loads generated by the Pitts Special aerobatic aircraft they were using, he designed a camera that could.
In Brown's rambling Pacific Palisades house is a harpsichord he made himself, along with several homemade hi-fi audio components. Outside in the four-car garage are two "prehistoric" racing cars—a Tasman Cooper-Climax and a Shelby King Cobra—on which Brown has done extensive restoration work.
Right off, Brown thought the Yukon needed more power. A K&N air filter working with Doug Thorley headers and a Borla cat-back exhaust system helped open up the truck's breathing, and a Hypertech plug-in module revised the spark-advance curve, changed transmission shift points, and took care of the larger-rear-tire size for speedometer accuracy.
A Hypertech thermostat opens at 160 degrees instead of the customary 180 for cooler running, and undersized pulleys from the same company reduce engine drag and cut power-steering assist by 40 percent for better feel. A Jacobs Electronics UltraCoil and low-resistance plug leads were fitted to beef up the ignition system, and that was the extent of the engine work until Brown decided to try a supercharger as well.
