The cam was combined with new lifters
(PN SUM-HT214) and trays (PN SUM-
150132) supplied by Summit Racing.

After installation of the camshaft and
cam retaining plate, we set the engine
at TDC then bolted the Comp 4X timing
gear set (PN 3172KT) in place using ARP
hardware (PN 134-1002).

To further maximize flow,

the TFS GenX heads also

featured full CNC porting

on the intake, exhaust, and

combustion chambers.

To ensure the boost stayed inside
the engine, we installed a set of ARP
head studs (PN 234-4344) and JE MLS
head gaskets.

The Trick Flow GenX 215 heads
(PN TFS-30610001-C01) featured
13.5-degree valve angles, a 2.040/1.575
valve combo, and 64cc combustion
chambers. Changing the valve angle from
15-degrees decreases valve shrouding for
increased mid-lift airflow and improved
rocker arm clearance.
