Have you heard of CFE Racing Products? If not, and you’re a drag racing enthusiast, you must have been living under a rock for the last 25 years or so. Carl Foltz’s career began back then, when someone brought him an engine to be freshened up, and Foltz spent dozens of hours porting the heads and testing his designs on a flowbench – which resulted in 60 more horsepower than the engine had when it came through his shop door.

That first engine has blossomed into a company that provides cylinder heads and fabricated manifolds to some of the biggest names in racing – names like Allen Johnson, Erica Enders, and Vincent Nobile – all of whom, not coincidentally, have entered the winner’s circle in NHRA Pro Stock in the still-young 2013 season. In addition, CFE heads are atop many NHRA Competition Eliminator winner’s engines like those of David Rampy and Bo Butner. Mark Micke even used a set of their 11-Degree BBC heads on top of Jason Carter’s Malibu engine to win the recent NMCA race in Outlaw 10.5. CFE keeps a running tabulation of winners who have succeeded using their cylinder heads and custom sheetmetal manifolds on their website – which just so happens to be a wealth of information in its own right.

They offer a large product line of cylinder heads, covering small-block Chevrolet, big-block Chevrolet, and even small-block Ford, in a variety of configurations ranging from wedge-style heads to symmetrical heads to even mirror-port and canted-valve heads, depending upon application. For example, if you’re running a big-block Chevrolet powerplant, you can pick from their 11-Degree, 14-Degree, 18-Degree, and 18-Degree Nitrous Special cylinder heads – and that’s just for cast cylinder heads and a 4.84 bore space block. If you’re serious about making horsepower, you owe it to your racing program to give them a call. After all, if they can put Pro Stockers into the winner’s circle – don’t you think they can help do the same for you?
