There are arguments for both sides of the Electric Vehicle craze that was supposed to hit North America hard over the past few years...
As it turns out, it didn’t gain the traction the industry thought it would and many large companies pulled back from production numbers and certain stock prices fell. Whether it’s the cost of an EV itself, the carbon footprint involved in large scale mining for battery raw materials, or the third-world country labor wages, expected sales just haven’t happened… yet. There’s no doubt that an alternative fuel source for transportation is in the future, but taking a quick glance around our roads, it’s most likely a little more distant future than some expected.

Greg Ward has a little different approach for his street/strip project, but make no mistake, ”It’s No EV”!
Ward started racing dirt cars when he was 15 and continued racing a number of different things for 30 years. During that time he immersed himself in all things horsepower, including doing
chassis fabrication and repair and sheet metal fabrication on mainly dirt and asphalt late models race cars. With a firm grip on what it takes to build and race, Greg took a break from the industry for a number of years and when he got his second wind, he decided that drag racing would be his next mountain to climb.
When he found it at an online auction, Greg Ward’s 2015 Tesla Model S had a broken strut, flat on the right front and missing bumper cover. The body, however, was near mint and Ward was able to keep the factory paint and even found a matching front bumper cover.
A trick removable front grille to enable massive airflow when needed makes going from street to strip a snap!
The Best Value in GM LS Performance.
If you’re looking for affordable LS performance, look no further than Trick Flow GenX 220 cylinder heads for LS1/LS2. Features include: Cathedral ports; 13.5° valve angles; decreased valve shrouding; increased mid-lift airflow; bowl-blended and CNC-profiled combustion chambers; improved rocker arm and valve cover clearance; and a super rigid casting design. What truly makes them special is their “Fast As Cast®” runner design that duplicates the profile of fully ported heads for near-CNC-ported performance for hundreds of dollars less! And since heads that don’t pass emissions are no good on late model cars, Trick Flow made sure the GenX 220 heads are fully emissions-legal (CARB E.O. #D-747) for 1997–present GM vehicles with 5.7L and 6.0L engines.
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.
