35 Under 35
SEMA News will highlight 35 of the industry’s top young trendsetters in its September 2019 issue.

September’s issue of SEMA News will highlight up-and-coming superstars in the automotive aftermarket industry who are age 35 and younger. If you know a leader in that age range as of September 1, 2019—whether they are in manufacturing and design, marketing, retail, events and media, or distribution—we would like to hear from you.

Many SEMA members are currently working with creative young professionals who are already industry trailblazers. They may have played key roles in leveraging new and emerging technologies with a traditional automotive aftermarket business to expand company reach, improve product development, energize marketing efforts or upgrade customer interaction.

They could be budding talents at an established company, entrepreneurs building their own brands or innovators who have launched companies that might become big names in the future. What they all will have in common are fresh ideas, enthusiasm, charisma and the drive to succeed.

SEMA News looks for candidates drawn from diverse industry segments who are already making a significant impact through their leadership within their organizations or businesses. Entrepreneurship, commitment, insight, innovation, integrity, responsibility, demonstrated skill, involvement and success within the marketplace weigh heavily in the decision-making process. We’ll honor the winners in the September issue of SEMA News and on www.sema.org.

Nominate a candidate now for the 2019 SEMA News 35 Under 35. Nominations are due May 31.

Holley EFI Pump Module for GM G-Bodies

Holley has announced the expansion of its line of EFI Pump Modules to include the '78–'87 GM G-body (Malibu, Regal, Cutlass et al). The module is said to be capable of supporting up to 550 hp and simplifies upgrading the car's carbureted fuel system to EFI. As a direct-replacement pick-up and sending unit, the module comes with a 255-.lbs/hr. in-tank fuel pump and a HydraMat fuel reservoir, which keeps fuel available at the pick-up and reduces "starvation" during cornering, acceleration, stopping, and whenever fuel levels are low. Fuel pressure is preset at 58 psi and regulated internally, which is said to eliminate the added expense of an external pressure regulator.
