“My parents always said my first word was ‘car’,” Corey said with a smile, “My dad was always working on cars or the house and I was familiar with tools, etc. So, once I was old enough to get in trouble, I was constantly taking things apart to see how they worked or if there was a way to ‘soup’ them up.”

Growing up, he was heavily influenced by TV shows like Tool Time and generally anyone who was into making cars fast. He saw all the photos of his father’s Mustangs and Corvettes from before Corey was born and his dad’s buddies would always slip in a story of how they raced on the street during high school.

His dad sold the 2-seater toys, but just before Corey was born in fall of 1989 he found a “family” car he had to have, a brand new 1990 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe.

GenX® 260 square port GM LS7 cylinder heads from Trick Flow are your best choice for several reasons.

The A356-T6 aluminum castings feature more material for increased rigidity and strength. Valve angles and port locations work with existing LS7 intakes and pistons. Modular billet aluminum rocker arm mounts enhance valvetrain stability and are removable for shaft rocker setups. CNC Competition Ported runners deliver maximum airflow. Plus there’s clearance for 3/8" pushrods and through-deck coolant holes that fit all GM LS gasket and block combinations.

So take advantage of the huge power GenX 260 heads make and get ready to show your opponents your taillights.

Your Formula for GM LS Performance!

New heads are just one part of the horsepower formula. To make it complete, you’re going to need some other components.

Track Max® Camshafts

Give your GM LS an even bigger power boost with a Track Max camshaft. Available in several hydraulic roller designs up to 230°/238° duration and .625"/.625" of lift, they are dyno proven to produce significant power increases over the entire RPM range.

Active Fuel Management and Variable Valve Timing Delete Kits

The problem: most performance camshafts don’t work on engines equipped with AFM or VVT. The solution? Ditch them with these delete kits! They include everything to completely remove AFM and VVT the right way so your engine will make the power you expect with no hiccups.

Cylinder Head Bolt Kits

Keep combustion where it belongs! These high-quality cylinder head bolt kits provide consistent clamping force. The bolts are made from premium quality alloy steel with cold-formed heads and rolled threads. The kit contains all the bolts you need to install a pair of heads.
