Racing Parts

Ask any race car driver and they’ll tell you the excitement, adrenaline rush and exhilaration you get from the speed and g-forces in motorsports competition can’t be equaled. Once you’ve gone fast on a race track, nothing else can compare and you just want to do it more. But while the feeling of speed in and of itself is intoxicating, racing isn’t just about getting a rush. Every driver entered in an event is racing to win, and winning requires preparation. To get to the winner’s circle both you and your car must be prepared, which is why we offer such an extensive selection of products in our Racing Parts & Accessories store. Whether you compete at the drag strip, dirt or asphalt circle tracks, road courses, or off-road, you’ll find what you need right here.

Motor Racing starts with the engine, and we’ve got everything you need to make horsepower, from complete engines to high-lift cams, high-flow cylinder heads, high-compression forged pistons and H-beam connecting rods, crankshafts and complete balanced assemblies. Feed that thirsty mill with a high-volume fuel pump, and high velocity intake manifold and race-spec carburetor, or a big throttle body and high-flow injectors or complete EFI system. You can tune and get the most from aftermarket or factory EFI with our wide-band air/fuel meters and engine management systems. We also have billet distributors, high-voltage coils and ignition boxes for a hot spark and mandrel-bent, big tube headers for efficient cylinder scavenging. Or you can go for a huge power boost with our power adders, including superchargers, turbochargers, and complete nitrous oxide injection kits.

Make sure all that power gets to the ground with our bullet-proof driveline parts. We have lightweight flywheels and high-clamping force clutch kits, high-stall torque converters, and complete manual and automatic transmission and transfer case assemblies and parts specially designed to handle the horsepower. There’ll be no worries about DNFs when you choose from our selection of heavy-duty driveshafts, axle shafts, U-Joints and CV-joints, and complete axle assemblies. We have tough ring & pinion gear sets in all popular ratios, limited slip and locking differentials, spools, differential housings and covers, plus wheel hubs and spindles, and bearings and seals for every part of the drivetrain.

When you boost power output and push your car hard at the track, extreme heat is generated in the engine and driveline. To preserve expensive powertrain parts and avoid DNFs you need performance cooling parts and we have them. Our high capacity radiators have thicker cores and more rows, and increased fin count, for better heat transfer. Optimal engine cooling will be assured by increasing coolant flow through the radiator with one of our high performance water pumps and increasing airflow through the radiator with a performance cooling fan, available in single and dual fan electric and multi-blade mechanical. But the engine’s not the only thing that gets hot on a race car. Racing can elevate transmission and differential fluid temperatures to levels where they can no longer lubricate and cool properly, endangering the lifespan of these driveline components. To keep fluid temperatures within operating range we offer transmission fluid coolers with and without integral cooling fans and differential coolers with fluid pumps.

Whether it’s weight transfer and traction at the Christmas tree, grip in asphalt turns, or the strength and ruggedness to handle rough terrain at speed, no matter what you want from your chassis, we have the suspension parts to make it happen. From 4-link kits and sub-frame assemblies to subframe and strut tower braces to traction bars and torque arms, we have what you need to improve chassis rigidity and traction. And we have the lift and lowering kits, springs, shocks, coilovers, sway bars and bushings to get the ride height and handling you want. Stopping is just as critical to lap times as speed and acceleration, and we’ve got the brake parts to haul down your machine, including racing compound brake pads, drilled and slotted 2-piece rotors, 4, 6, and 8-piston aluminum calipers, braided steel brake lines, aluminum master cylinders and adjustable proportioning valves, and hand brakes for drifting and line lock kits for drag racing.

Going fast isn’t just about making horsepower, and many a race has been one by a less powerful car that was nevertheless lighter, slipperier, and had the downforce needed for traction. We have fiberglass and carbon fiber hoods, trunk lids, doors, and other panels for many popular models to help you shed pounds and boost the power-to-weight ratio. When used together, our custom bumpers, bumper lips, side skirts, and rear diffusers can reduce drag and increase downforce that improves traction. Or instead of individual pieces you can go with a full body kit that includes parts designed to work together and enhance the performance of each specific model. Kit contents vary but some include a hood and wider fenders to accommodate wider wheels and tires.

Safety is paramount in racing, and most organizations have explicit rules about equipment. We have what you need to be safe and legal including roll bar and roll cage kits and parts for specific applications and custom-built cars, as well as roll bar padding, window nets, fire extinguishers and brackets, and fire suppression systems. For a driver to be both safe and effective, he must be properly positioned in the car, so he can be comfortable and in control, with all vehicle controls at hand. We have racing seats with ample side bolsters for support that are configured for racing harnesses, as well as the brackets and hardware for seat installation. Complete the cockpit with a racing steering wheel, firewall mount or floor mount racing pedal assemblies, automatic or manual transmission shifter and shift knob. And we have all the gauges and gauge mounts needed to keep an eye on engine vital signs including tachometers, fuel and oil pressure, coolant temperature, and boost gauges, exhaust gas temperature gauges and much more.

The personal gear that helps ensure your safety is just as important as the safety equipment for the race car, and we’ve got a full complement of products to keep you cool, comfortable and protected. From winter and summer use racing underwear to comfortable driving shoes, fire retardant gloves and one and two-piece racing suits, to gear specially made for kart racing, we offer racing apparel in sizes from small to XXXL. Of course, your helmet is the most essential piece of safety gear, and we have full-face helmets in a wide range of styles and colors in materials including strong, lightweight carbon fiber, with a variety of features including helmets set up for in-car ventilation systems, and neck restraint systems. We also have replacement face shields for all popular helmets. Finally, it will be easier and safer to work on your racer in the shop and at the track when you’re outfitted with our lifts, jacks, and stands.
