    The Biggest power gains for your 400-430-455 engine are with TA’s aluminum cylinder heads, without question! We offer multiple cylinder heads to fit every performance combination. TA heads are cast from 356 aluminum and heat treated to T-6 specification. TA then machines the castings in house, on state of the art CNC milling machines, resulting in the highest degree of quality. TA Performance has been manufacturing cylinder heads for nearly 20 years and have gained an excellent reputation not only within the Buick community, but within the entire automotive aftermarket, for quality of craftsmanship as well as performance. Over the years, through our own testing as well as feedback from our dealers and customers, we have and will continue to update and expand our cylinder head offering. By doing so, Buick Big Block powered cars utilizing TA’s aluminum cylinder heads will continue to out perform more popular engine makes. TA Performance operates one of the few full service head manufacturing facilities in the automotive aftermarket and the only one within the Buick community

    TA's Stage 2 Track Eliminator (TE) series heads, again as with the Stage 1 TE heads, we have incorporated the Stage 3 intake runner into the Stage 2 heads, producing one of the most powerful cylinder heads in the performance market. When the oversized intake valve is used in conjunction with the superior exhaust runner of the Stage 2, horsepower gains are very impressive out of the box, and phenomenal when fully ported. These heads were bred on the track but are also the perfect head for the ultimate street/strip combination. Track Eliminator Series Heads with the oversized intake valves andporting have flowed almost 380 CFM at high lift and an amazing 340 CFM at .500”! Stage 2 exhaust ports can be ported to 260+ CFM. Please inquire about these incredible upgrades.

    TE heads require a raised runner intake manifold from our SP-2 series. Use of these heads does require Stage 2 style headers. Headers or manifolds used on Standard, Stage 1 or TA’s Stage 1 aluminum heads will not work. You will also need to use TA 1136 head studs or TA 1131 head bolts.

    On 10:1 Compression engines out of the box performance is
usually 70+ HP. These heads can support pump gas combinations
up to 700+ HP and race combinations up to 900+ HP.

NOTE: When using TA Aluminum heads on 400 and 430 engines, you must use pushrod oiling, i.e. 455 Lifters and Pushrods. Please inquire.

Perfect Match For Stroker Engines!

Due to the airflow potential of these heads with porting and oversized intake valves, this head is ideal for stroker combinations where the engine will demand considerably more air. These heads flow the additional air required by large displacement engines through the entire RPM range, not just top end!
