Katech Performance knows the first step to enhancing the durability of production LS engines is to upgrade the connecting rod bolts.  Compatible with the LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 and LS7, Katech’s new replacement (and reusable) connecting rod bolt is a simple and cost effective form of insurance against failure.

Held to the highest J-rolled thread specification, the bolt offers ultra-high yield strength (240 ksi) and is produced exclusively for Katech Performance by a certified aerospace fastener manufacturer.

Katech Performance has engineered a Chevrolet Camaro performance package (KAT-A4693) that allows owners to drive their car to the track, run 10s and drive back home.

“We’ve put together a complete package with custom fabricated parts available nowhere else that will allow Camaro, Trans Am or Firebird owners to not only run 10s, but do it safely and consistently,” said Caleb Newman, vice president, director aftermarket operations, Katech Performance.  “Best of all, the vehicle is a daily driver.  You can fill-up with premium fuel, take it for a cruise with the air conditioner on and not worry about overheating.  It’s a 10-second street car that’s ready for track day.”

The Camaro/Trans Am/Firebird package starts with a Katech “Street Attack” LS7 engine featuring Katech forged pistons, rebushed connecting rods, upgraded camshaft, enhanced valvesprings, ultra-light retainers and ported cylinder heads.  Other modifications include Katech powdercoated valve covers and a coil relocation kit.

Katech Performance has introduced its “Sneak Attack” LS7 5.7L engine package (KAT-A4725) for fast car fanatics who revel in hidden horsepower.

Engineered to leave competitors loathing, the track-ready LS7 boasts 346 cubic-inches of displacement (4.125-inch bore; 3.268-inch stroke), spins to 7,800 rpm and pumps out 575 horsepower.

“If you’re looking for high-revving power or are displacement limited our ‘Sneak Attack’ LS7 is for you,” said Caleb Newman, vice president, director aftermarket operations, Katech Performance.  “It was inspired by the awesome power of the early Cadillac CTS-V factory race engine.”

Katech Performance is now your best source for off-road racing performance."Off-road racers can tap into Katech’s world-renowned engine building expertise,” said Caleb Newman, vice president, director of aftermarket operations, Katech Performance.  “We can arm your vehicle with the same technological advantages that have propelled Katech race teams to more than 50 championships in major motorsports competition since 1978.”

In 2006, Katech Performance and UMI Racing partnered to develop incredibly powerful and durable LS7 engines for off-road competition.  Per the agreement, new engine builds and rebuild responsibilities were exclusively assigned to Katech Performance.
