HOT ROD Pump Gas Drags Presented By COMP Cams® In the Record Books

Weather-extended Pump Gas Drags won by Jim Plimpton of Franksville, Wisconsin in his supercharged ’89 Thunderbird

Extreme engine temperatures and severe weather were unable to slow the efforts of Jim Plimpton and his impressive ’89 Thunderbird which took top honors at the fifth annual HOT ROD Pump Gas Drags sponsored by COMP Cams®. After hitting an incredible 300-degree engine temperature during the challenging 30-mile drive from COMP Cams® headquarters to the Memphis Motorsports Park, Plimpton ultimately converted that heat into power and cranked out a final round win. Plimpton’s supercharged, 572cid Ford-powered T-Bird recorded an impressive 8.536-seconds, 163.06 mph speed and defeated the ’70 red Nova of Ray Doughty, which logged a valiant 8.674 second, 160.14 mph effort.

The HOT ROD Pump Gas Drags is a unique event designed to challenge high performance race/street cars to not only pass a rigorous tech inspection and race on 93-octane Rockett Brand “pump” gas, but to drive from the tech inspection area at COMP Cams® corporate headquarters to the Memphis Motorsports Park (MMP) without the aid of support vehicles.

The two-day event was highlighted by the first ever Beale Street Bash at the Coyote Ugly Bar on the legendary Beale Street in downtown Memphis on Friday night, May 9. The Pump Gas Drags competition then kicked off on Saturday morning, May 10 and was extended to two days when severe weather shut down the race track after the first round of competition on Saturday. Racing resumed Sunday morning at 11 a.m. with four rounds of fast action culminating in the final race between Plimpton and Doughty.

The staff of COMP Cams® would like to thank all competitors and attendees for participating in the 5th Annual HOT ROD Pump Gas Drags – we hope you had as much fun as we did.

RHS™ Pro Action™ Small Block Ford 160cc Cylinder Heads Are Easy Bolt-On Upgrade For Popular Ford

rhsproactionsmallblockford160ccaluminumcylinderheads2.pdf | proactionsbf160cc.jpg

High performance heads fit both 289-351 Windsor style and 5.0-liter Ford Small Block engines without piston modifications

The Ford Small Block has become one of the most popular performance engine platforms chiefly due to the wealth of 5.0-liter engines available today. RHS™ Pro Action™ Small Block Ford 160cc Cylinder Heads are a perfect performance upgrade for your street or race vehicle because they incorporate the smaller 1.940-inch intake and 1.600-inch exhaust valve combination to avoid piston interference. Simply bolt them in place and go.

Available in high-quality aluminum, bare or assembled with COMP Cams® components, RHS™ Pro Action™ Small Block Ford 160cc Cylinder Heads feature Clean Cast Technology™, making them excellent performing heads right out of the box without porting or other modifications. The more efficient water jacket design generates greater thermal conductivity and reduces the risk of detonation. Premium bronze intake and exhaust valve guides provide extended valve sealing and durability.

COMP Cams® Introduces Five New GM ZZ4 Power Packages

COMP Cams® and RHS™ join forces to eliminate the “performance dysfunction” that plagues GM ZZ4 crate engine owners

GM’s ZZ4 engine has great performance potential straight out of the crate; but in today’s realm of high performance engines, 350hp is not exactly something you brag to your buddies about. COMP Cams® is dedicated to producing top quality components that draw the most power and torque from any engine platform. As a result of this effort, COMP has designed bolt-on GM ZZ4 power packages that dramatically improve the horsepower, torque and “fun factor” associated with this engine.

Test results prove that carefully selected combinations of COMP Performance Group™ products can transform your stock ZZ4 into a small block powerhouse with bullet proof reliability. Each COMP Cams® Performance Package has been dyno tested in-house to demonstrate real world, repeatable results. After completing Stage 1 of the five performance packages, select the level of horsepower you desire from the four remaining stages to deliver dependable, streetable power.

*All tests were performed on a brand new GM ZZ4 engine which achieved baseline performance of 344 HP @ 5300 rpm and 390 lb./ft. @ 4300 rpm – both figures slightly less than the factory ratings. Our dyno tests utilized a Demon 650 cfm carburetor, 1 3/4–inch primary tube headers and the factory dual plane intake manifold (performance dual plane intake utilized for Stages 2-5 to supply adequate airflow).
