What do you think: could we hit 550 hp in a 408 with these Brodix LH17 heads? We pulled them from a 12-second ‘65 Mustang coupe (a typical street machine) and they gave us 466 hp with a relatively conservative cam. We bet we can do it. What do you think?

Our thoughts go out to Grant’s family and friends. He was a great student, mentor, and friend. Rest in peace Grant.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the untimely passing of our coworker and friend, Grant Holcombe.

Grant was a Design Engineer here at JESEL Valvetrain Innovation and a valued member of our team for nearly 12 years. His contributions, knowledge, and dedication helped shape countless projects and made a lasting impact on our company and everyone who had the privilege to work alongside him.

Grant was more than a coworker, he was part of the JESEL family, and his absence will be deeply felt throughout our company.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

You will be truly missed.
