Mike "The Pirate" Pruitt Wins IMCA's Northern SportMods
at Super Nationals With EQ Cylinder Heads
BOONE, IA (October 12) - Mike Pruitt led the distance in winning the 25 lap
Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod main event at Boone Speedway during the
IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals.
Pruitt, nicknamed The Pirate, changed to the EngineQuest (EQ) spec Chevy
350 cylinder heads in his SportMod and has produced multiple wins this year.
EQ is an exclusive supplier of spec Chevy cylinder heads for IMCAs Northern
and Southern SportMod, and Hobby Stock classes, and the title sponsor of the
EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Modified Tour.
"Mike is a great racer and an even better person. We're very pleased that he
changed to our Spec Chevy 350 cylinder heads (CH350I) this year. The
dramatic increase in wins and top 5's is proof he made a good choice." says
Mark Moore, EQ's director of sales. "As the only cylinder head manufactured
in Australia by a tier 1 supplier, our heads provide numerous benefits that
translates to wins on the track.
Utilizing proprietary Flow Cast Technology, these high performance cylinder
heads have a thicker deck for added strength, Dura-Bond exhaust seats for
greater resistance to cracking, and a redesigned water flow system for
improved thermal conductivity. With CNC machined guides and seats, a
superior port finish for increased flow, and a three angle valve finish,
EQ's cylinder heads offer the best of both worlds - OE fit and improved
performance.
