GOOD PARTS ARE ONLY THE BEGINNING. 🔥

We just finished up this set of Big Block Chevy heads for our friend Jeff Ray and his 396. This combination should make for one nasty little street cruiser.

👉 COMP Cams spring package
👉 Manley Performance Products stainless valves
👉 Hydraulic roller valvetrain

Quality components matter—but precision machine work is what makes those parts work together and live.

These heads received the full treatment:

⚙️ Precision valve job
⚙️ Deck surfaces machined flat
⚙️ Chambers cc’d for consistent volume
⚙️ Valve stems tipped for consistent installed heights
⚙️ Every valve spring individually dyno tested
⚙️ Spring installed heights set specifically for his hydraulic roller camshaft

It’s the details you can’t see once the engine is assembled that often matter the most.

Jeff, we appreciate the business, sir. Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your hot rod!

Battle proven. Ready for war. 🇺🇸

THE ROUGAROU IS LURKING IN THE BAYOU. 🐺🌙

In Louisiana folklore, the Rougarou is a legendary werewolf-like creature said to stalk the swamps and bayous at night.

Sounds pretty fitting for this monster.

We built this for our friend Gerald Cosse and his infamous red Silverado 1500, “The Rougarou.”

This truck has become a staple in the truck racing community and for good reason. It’s absolutely lethal on the track.

At the heart of it is a Patriot Performance bullet built to handle 2,000+ HP, and this combination has been doing exactly what we built it to do: take abuse and keep coming back for more.

THE BUILD SHEET 👇

👉 Dart Machinery Aluminum LS block ✅
👉 Tom Molnar billet center-counterweighted crankshaft & connecting rods ✅
👉 Patriot Performance custom pistons ✅
👉 Martin Smallwood custom camshaft ✅
👉 CID Heads LS7 heads ported by Hoopers Heads ✅
👉 Manton Pushrods & Rockerarms pushrods & billet valve covers ✅
👉 Brian Tooley Racing rocker arm trunnion kit ✅
👉 P1 Manufacturing custom head & main stud package ✅

We’re grateful to be a part of this build and this isn’t the only monster we’ve built for these guys down in Louisiana. 👀

Keep your eyes on the bayou. The Rougarou is coming.

443 CUBIC INCHES. N/A. HYDRAULIC ROLLER. READY FOR WAR. ⚔️

This 443ci monster is headed for Brendon Greaves drift car—and while it’s naturally aspirated for now, we won’t rule out a little nitrous in its future. 👀

This wasn’t just another engine build. We teamed up with some of the titans of the industry to put together a combination designed to take serious abuse and make serious power.

And there’s a lot more coming on this one. We’ll have future content featuring this combination with Engine Builder Magazine, so stay tuned.

Want to see it in person?
It’ll be on display in the Hooper Heads booth at Holley LS Fest this weekend.

You can look… but don’t touch. 😎

BOOST? NEVER HEARD OF HER. 😤

New T-shirts are coming in!

This is the first of many designs we’re making specifically around customer cars, and we had to kick it off with Blake Van Thof and his nasty 427ci N/A solid-roller E92 drift car.

We’re taking preorders now, and we’ll also have shirts with us at Holley LS Fest East!

Blake will be bringing the heat in the drifting competition, and needless to say, this thing is READY FOR WAR. 🇺🇸

This car was also featured on DRIFT HQ Behind the Build. Go check it out for all the details on this naturally aspirated monster.

CUSTOMERS THAT BECOME FRIENDS. 🇺🇸 (READ TO THE END AND SHARE THIS. I PROMISE ITS WORTH IT🤣)

Let me introduce you to my good friends John Placko and his Ben.

John has a 2006 GTO and came to me wanting a little more power than the factory LS2 could provide. Legend has it his exact words were, “I want to go fast before I die.”

I figured with the right engine, I could probably help him accomplish both if he wasn’t careful. 😂

Now, John is a legend among legends. His alleged accomplishments include:

🏆 3x Chinese Checkers World Champion
🃏 Former Guinness World Record holder for longest continuous game of Uno
🪨 2009 Southeast Regional Rock-Skipping Champion
🎳 Once bowled a perfect 300 using only a 9-pound ball
🇺🇸 Former Captain of the U.S. National Dodgeball Reserve Team
🏎️ Former Semi-Professional Indoor Kart Racer
🌭 Former Georgia State Mustard-Free Hot Dog Eating Record Holder

If even half of that is true, John may be the most interesting man in the world.

Anyway… back to horsepower.

We built John a 402ci, 11:1 monster with about every bell and whistle we could throw at it. His instructions were simple:

“If it makes horsepower… ORDER IT!”

⚙️ Tom Molnar crankshaft & connecting rods
⚙️ Wiseco Performance Products pistons
⚙️ Total Seal Piston Rings piston rings
⚙️ Martin Smallwood Patriot Performance custom camshaft
⚙️ Hoopers Heads Patriot Performance 11° Rec-Port heads
⚙️ Johnson Lifters lifters
⚙️ Brian Tooley Racing shaft rockers & springs
⚙️ Automotive Racing Products Inc. fasteners
⚙️ Performance Design

Nicolas Performance handled the tuning, and John has been terrorizing the streets with it ever since.

But the best part of this build isn’t the engine.

John still stops by regularly to hang out, vacuum out machines, grab lunch, or meet me for breakfast on a Saturday before we head to the shop.

Customers come and go. Some become lifelong friends.

Thanks for being you, John. I’m grateful for your friendship, your business, and whatever governing body sanctioned that hot dog record. 😂

WE BUILD. YOU DOMINATE.
