Project Windstorm: It’s Time To Get This Hellcat In Gear
We’ve been asked a few times when we’re going to get our Project Windstorm back on the road. We finally made a decision to solicit some help from a friend to get the work done that we needed, and to get the swap rolling. But wait, there’s more!

Understanding How An Automotive Relay Works
Most switches handle up to 15 amps, but when the component you want to switch on requires more than twice the amperage, a relay will safely allow the current to flow without overheating the switch. We explain how the relay functions, and provide valuable pointers.
