LATE MODEL ALUMINUM SHORT TRACK AND
NHRA COMP ELIMINATOR RACING HEADS
No one knows more about making power than GM Performance
Parts! Now, the same technology that dominates NASCAR and
the NHRA is available to the general public for use in your Late
Model Saturday night racecar or your serious drag car effort!
Weve designed an entire family of high performance in-line valve
cylinder heads that are ready to take you to the winners circle.
These Heads come with thicker deck material, thicker manifold
flange areas, powerful combustion chambers, high velocity air
passages. Drag racers in NHRAs Competition Eliminator want
big compression, lots of rpm, and a cylinder head that delivers
maximum power at the crack of the throttle. Coupled with the
correct valve train, intake, and short block, these Racing Heads
are exactly what small displacement drag racers have been
looking for. The GM Performance Parts engineers have dramatically altered the valve architecture in this head to improve airflow
and maximize efficiency. Weve also left some of these heads
unported, so that your favorite aluminum artist can go to work on
them to perfect your given application. Buy a set of these heads
from GM Performance Parts, and the only thing youll have to
worry about is the driving!
