Add Some Thump to Your Small Block Ford

FLOTEK’s 185cc Thumper Cylinder Heads for small block Ford pack a lot of performance in an affordable package. The aluminum heads have an intake runner design with a raised floor and roof configuration. This gives the incoming air and fuel a more direct shot at the intake valve, and also keeps the air/fuel charge attached to the runner’s short-side radius. That means more torque over a wider RPM range without sacrificing high RPM horsepower.

Don’t Skimp on Your Electric Fan

Electric fans aren’t glamorous, but without one pulling air through your radiator and removing heat from the coolant, you’ll be at the side of the road or track with an engine spewing steam. So don’t skimp on your electric fan—get a good one like a Flex-A-Lite Flex-Wave fan. It has fan blades with a leading edge profile that cuts through the air to start air movement around the blades. That allows the Flex-Wave fan to move up to 25% more air than a comparable fan.
