Upgrading the intake and exhaust is a popular way of gaining more power, but in order to arrive first at the checkered flag, you need to build a race-winning engine. Although horsepower and torque figures are downright important, that’s not the engine’s output alone that makes all the difference. The motor that is able to power you to victory has to be durable and consistent, and in some forms of motorsports like circle track racing, these two performance factors are even more crucial than the output. Whether you participate in drag racing, road racing, or you’re going to race your car at different tracks, here you are sure to find the right engine components designed to provide power gains and maximize durability.

There is a wide variety of tuning options available and there is much that goes into building a capable motor for your application. Horsepower is only part of the story; torque is what accelerates your car under load. Peak torque is an important value, but you also need a wider torque band for proper power delivery. Volumetric efficiency (simply put, the volume of air getting into the cylinders) is one of the most important performance parameters. Increasing its percentage helps develop more power and torque while improving torque production within specific engine speeds.

Forced induction is one of the most popular methods of achieving better volumetric efficiency. We have turbo- and superchargers that will draw more air into the cylinders for it to be mixed with fuel in optimal ratio and produce serious power. Of course, the cylinder heads, valvetrain, cams, and intake manifolds are all essential components when it comes to increasing volumetric efficiency, and we have a wide range of these parts for your engine build. Racing camshafts ensure the duration, lift, and valve opening and closing rates for optimal cylinder filling.

The cylinder head is the foundation of your racing engine, and you can’t allow it to be a bottleneck restricting the airflow. It directly influences the torque curve and the way that power spreads across the band. Racing heads fill and evacuate the cylinders efficiently thanks to refined port shapes and bigger valves, which form passages for the adequate volume of air to flow at a proper rate, according to specific racing requirements. Be careful when matching cam profile to the cylinder head flow rate. You can improve power delivery and engine performance by installing racing crankshafts. These cranks are lighter and much stronger than stock while being more precisely machined, to name just a few benefits.

If you want to get more suck-squeeze-bang-blow, you have to make sure the motor can handle the load. We have racing oil pumps, pans, and coolers designed to ensure improved lubrication of engine internals and reduce their operating temperature. Unlike the motors of roadgoing cars that can run for hundreds of thousands of miles without a rebuild, those of track cars need to be rebuilt after every race. We have many options when it comes to the contents of rebuild kits, with some including cams, pistons, rings, and bearings, along with quality seals and gaskets. For everything needed to create a powerful, consistent racing engine, look no further than our selection.

It was a bit of a pain to get it tightened but once it started grabbing it worked great.
