Top it Off!

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

In this video series, V8TV is  upgrading a 1969 Camaro SS 396 for better performance using an Edelbrock Top End Kit consisting of E-Street Heads, a RPM intake manifold, a mild street camshaft, and the required hardware and gaskets to put it all together. They are also adding a Holley Street Avenger Aluminum 670 carburetor for fuel, and an MSD Digital E-Curve distributor for spark. The Camaro will breathe better with a dual MagnaFlow stainless exhaust system, and it will run smoothly on Royal Purple Break-In Oil and Max Gear transmission oil. They’re also adding a Centerforce clutch for more grab. Under the car, they are detailing the subframe and suspension with Eastwood Underhood Black paint, and installing Global West Del-A-Lum bushings up front. A Baer Track disc brake kit is going on for better stopping power, and a Chassis Engineering front sway bar will help this car corer better.

ROX Heads – A Serious Casting for All Out Competition

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

1 ROX Heads   A Serious Casting for All Out Competition

Engineered for all out competition, Edelbrock’s ROX Pro-Port Raw cylinder head, #777669, offers a high quality casting that is ideal for extreme circle track and drag racing applications.

The all-new Victor ROX Pro-Port Raw cylinder head is designed for serious dirt track and drag racing competition applications. It has been cast with extra material in the intake ports, exhaust ports and combustion chambers to allow for application specific professional CNC or hand porting. It also features raised exhaust ports to improve flow efficiency and the deck includes extra material to allow fine tuning of the combustion chamber. This head is designed to accept GM SB2 style valve covers. The ROX Pro-Port Raw is the first cylinder head to market that is exclusively designed for engine blocks with 4.5″ bore spacing.

The Edelbrock Victor ROX Pro-Port Raw is treated to a Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) process to ensure the finest and most durable casting quality possible. HIP processing is a forming process that combines heat and pressure to consolidate the metal and press out any gaseous material. The end result is a dense casting, comparable to billet material. Resulting in minimal distortion when used in forced induction and extreme duty applications.

    Features Include:

  • Pro-Port Raw design with extra material in the casting for custom porting
  • Raised exhaust ports for improved flow
  • Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) process treated for the ultimate extreme duty casting
  • Accepts GM SB2 style valve covers
  • Features 4.5″ bore spacing
  • Valve seats and guides included but not installed
  • Part-No: #777669

Butler Performance Delivers

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Congrats to Butler Performance for their stellar runs at last weekends Pontiac Event at Norwalk in Ohio.  We love to hear how well our products perform on our customers/enthusiast built cars.

Here are a few words from butler Performance…

1964 Pontiac Tempest

1963 Pontiac Tempest

Just wanted to give you an update about last weekends Pontiac event at Norwalk, Ohio.

Rodney brought out his twin turbo 1963 Tempest Outlaw Promod car for it’s first 1/4 mile runs. His first full 1/4 mile pass ever was 6.42 @ 222 mph. His fourth pass was 6.27 @ 228 mph! This is by far the quickest and fastest traditional Pontiac powered drag car of all time.

We have the Edelbrock 60509’s on this car – not bad for a Performer RPM head! ( 2720 lb. raceweight ) This was in the final round of the Butler Performance sponsored heads up race at this event, which Rodney won by beating one of our engine customers, John Welter-he ran a 6.92 and also runs our CNC wideport Edelbrock heads. (we believe this was the first ever 6 second side by side competition run by traditional Pontiac powered cars). There are usually 1000+ race and show cars combined at this event and over 10,000 spectators, so a great place for us to run well. On another note, we had GREAT response at our booth for both the Victor high port head and the new D-Port Performer head (thanks to Rick R. and crew for getting it to the show on Saturday). Hope to have both castings here soon.
