Summit Racing™ Precision Cast Cylinder Head

Summit Racing™ precision cast cylinder heads are made from tough A-356 aluminum alloy and feature Permanent Mold "As-Cast" technology. Port accuracy is unrivaled--meaning CNC porting is not required to provide superior flow. The result is CNC-ported performance at a fraction of the price! We start with precision CNC-finished faces and bolt holes for accuracy and fitment. American craftsmen expertly size and install the manganese bronze valve guides and interlocking ductile iron seats before finishing with a competition-grade valve job. From there, the decks are given a final pass for superior finish. They are finish-assembled in the USA with top-quality components like PAC Racing springs, fasteners, one-piece 21 4N stainless valves, machined locks, Viton® seals and chromoly steel retainers. The final result is the performance you want and Summit Racing™ quality you TRUST!

COMP Cams Thumpr Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam and Lifter Kits

COMP Cams is bringing the muscle car sound back, and it's nastier than ever! Let's face it--few things serve to grab our attention at a car show or cruise night more than a car with a thumping, high performance idle. In an ongoing quest to provide you with the performance and sound you demand, COMP Cams engineering team proudly introduces the Thumpr Series cam and lifter kits. The lobe profile and grind characteristics of these Thumpr camshafts use a combination of an early exhaust valve opening, a long exhaust duration, and a generous amount of intake and exhaust overlap to maximize the rough-idling characteristics of the cams. This gives you a seriously aggressive exhaust note without negatively impacting the power output or streetability of the engine. Thumpr camshafts are available in different grind profiles; each one will produce a rough, racy exhaust note and impressive amounts of horsepower and torque within a different rpm range. Thumpr Series cam and lifter kits deliver a substantial power increase over an identical hydraulic flat tappet grind without sacrificing reliability or ease of maintenance.
