The Comp Cams new Elite Race solid roller lifters are built to withstand even the most demanding racing conditions. They feature an REM-polished 8620 alloy body with a modular design that allows the pushrod seat inserts to be swapped for centered, left or right offsets. This patent-pending design also includes oversized (0.400) axles that are dual-pinned with a small gap in between for better oiling, along with center and top axle oil inlets for lubrication through the axle, directly to the needles. Finally, the captured link bars offer maximum control and durability for race and high rpm applications.

Dart's new CNC-machined Pro 2 aluminum cylinder heads with 380cc intake ports are just what the doctor ordered for large displacement big-block Chevrolet racing engines. With the growing popularity of Top Sportsman, Quick 32, and other go-fast classes, engine displacements have been steadily escalating. Dart's new 380cc Pro 2 heads have the airflow capacity to feed these massive motors. Based on Dart's Race series 355-T6 aluminum head casting, the new Pro 2 head's 380cc intake runners are paired with 144cc exhaust ports. Intake valves are 2.300-inches, and the exhausts measure 1.880. Brass head bolt tubes are inserted between adjacent intake runners to allow the ports to be widened.
