Refreshing, different, outside the box… no matter how you word it, seeing something like Dwayne Lile’s 1965 Malibu 300 Wagon 2 door is a memorable experience. And watching it bang off mid 7-second ¼ mile hits on the strip is definitely unforgettable!

So many horsepower junkies were inspired by their dad or a close family member when they were young, but how many can say that they actually started wrenching at 4 years old? “At the age of 4, my father brought home an old bus engine and told my older brother and I to take it apart and put it back together. That is where it all started for me,” Lile recalled.

This Wicked pass by Dwayne Lile will shock you!

Dwayne’s dad was a mechanic by trade, and ran and owned service stations in Oklahoma and Alaska, of all places, and by the age of 12 Dwayne was helping at the station on weekends. It wasn’t long before he started working on motorcycles

and snow machines and eventually cars. He started as an apprentice mechanic in 1988 with Barney's Repair Service in Anchorage Alaska and his path would eventually lead to racing under the guidance of Stan Barney.

Fox Bodies!

Everything on the car, from the rear ’chutes and wheelwells to the front exhaust cutouts was executed to perfection, and the original lights, trim and roof rack are over-the-top cool.

Show Them Your Taillights.

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 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.
