Cylinder Head Innovations-HeadsIt's no secret that increasing airflow to your engine is the biggest single improvement you can make to produce more torque and horsepower.
Cylinder Head Innovations (CHI) knows from its success in the Engine Masters Competitions that the key to making excellent torque and horsepower comes from using the smallest port for a given amount of airflow. This results in excellent power, drivability, and fuel efficiency.
CHI has been working with the automotive industry's top engine builders and designers worldwide to bring you the best heads possible. These relationships have put CHI products in a league of their own. Success at the Engine Masters Competitions in both 2002 & 2004 testifies to the performance and quality advantage offered by CHI.
No other manufacturer can lay claim to having been the sole manufacturer of any make of cylinder head in these competitions. Add to that the fact that these cylinder heads were on the most powerful small-block Fords in both competitions and you can see why CHI is often the choice in cylinder heads.

Fel-Pro-GasketsEngine gaskets are hardly a glamorous part, usually only attracting attention when they fail. What the average guy may miss is what the professionals of the Engine Masters Challenge all know, that gaskets are no place to skimp on quality. Engine gaskets must seal against fluids such as oil and coolant, as well as being under pressure, a critical task assigned to the head gasket. At the least, a faltering gasket will result in embarrassing oil leaks, while at worst, it will allow water contamination of the oil system or loss of critical cylinder pressure. The stakes are too high for builders to simply roll the dice and hope things will hold together. Fel-Pro continues to be a popular choice for the competitors who know how important gaskets are to their powerful motors. That's a resounding vote of confidence and for good reason. Fel-Pro is continuously advancing the construction and materials used in automotive engine gaskets, and they are the first choice of many of the country's leading engine builders.
Fel-Pro Gaskets are engineered to deliver a perfect seal on every engine.That's why virtually every NASCAR Winston Cup and NHRA Winston Drag Racing team-as well as a vast majority of professional engine rebuilders choose Fel-Pro over every other gasket brand.

Royal Purple-Synthetic OilRoyal Purple was founded in 1986, but its roots go back much further. Founder John Williams was a pioneer in developing synthetic lubricants as far back as the 1940s and 1950s. He used his expertise in chemical engineering to found two other successful lubricant companies prior to founding Royal Purple.
Williams had officially retired in the 1980s, yet he continued to pursue his passion for lubrication by serving as a consultant to numerous companies. In 1986 an oil production company asked Williams to solve chronic bearing failures in their large compressors. Williams found that there was simply not a lubricant available that could handle the demands of the equipment. He immediately began to put his extensive lubrication background to work with long hours and late nights in the lab. The result of his efforts was the development of a new lubrication technology. Because this oil was like no other in how it worked, Williams decided to make it look like no other oil as well. Thus, the company Royal Purple was founded and has become a supplier of high-end lubricants for engines that demand the best.
