he humble Californian got an early start as a young boy watching his uncle Baja racing.

“He had a ’28 Ford truck that was in the magazines and was modifying Baja bugs and dune buggies and always took the time to involve me,” Travers remembered. As he grew up his appreciation of cars grew as well. His best friend’s dad had a ’67 Camaro, and

being typical car-crazy teens, when his buddy’s dad was out of town, they would regularly disconnect the odometer, throw some slicks on it, load the backseat up with three or four people and go look for races around town. Travers continued to enjoy cars, but ventured into most anything with an internal combustion engine; getting his first car (a 1968 Camaro) at 16 and

He installed a 250-shot of nitrous oxide on his first jet boat and that would firmly set the hook for his love of nitrous, and he’s been dedicated to it ever since. By 25, he had built a mid-9-second Camaro drag car, but after12

As his kids grew and went off in their own directions, Travers knew he wanted to get back in the driver’s seat of something fast. Since he still had the Camaro, he and his buddy Johnny made

Test Engine: GM 6.2L LS3 short block with 10.43:1 compression, Trick Flow GenX® 255 square port cylinder heads (TFS-3261T002-C01), Trick Flow Track Max® hydraulic roller cam (TFS-32603001), stock L92 intake with 90mm throttle body, Kooks headers with 17⁄8" primaries, and dual exhaust with 3" Flowmaster mufflers.

Tests conducted at 28" of water (pressure).

Bore size: 4.065"; exhaust with 2" pipe.

Your Recipe for GM LS Performance!

New heads are just one component of the horsepower recipe. To make it complete, you’re going to need some more ingredients.

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.
