Bulldog Performance
Among the earliest of Bulldog's aluminum cylinder head efforts is the Oldsmobile variant. Proprietor Dick Bradshaw tells us that the lack of real estate within the confines of the stock Olds head made Bulldog's goals of retaining compatibility with stock parts while substantially improving performance a challenging proposition. Despite this, the Bulldog head does indeed outshine stock castings by a large margin, flowing 292 cfm at 0.700-inch lift, (279 cfm at 0.500 lift) on the intake side.

Mondello Performance Products
The name Mondello has been closely associated with Olds V-8 performance since the days when W-machines were still factory fresh. Today, Joe Mondello is also known as a master cylinder head porter, even instructing others in the elusive art. Mondello was involved with the development of the Edelbrock aluminum head, and now Mondello Performance has teamed with Glenn Knowlton to produce an ultra high-performance Oldsmobile aluminum head. These heads can be configured for street engines or ported for serious drag racing and are sold with a port-matched Mondello Posiflow Air Gap intake manifold.

Rocket Racing & Performance
Dedicated to the pursuit of Oldsmobile performance, Rocket Racing offers a full line of performance parts and services aimed at increasing the performance of Olds-powered vehicles. The complete approach to Olds performance led Rocket Racing to team with Kayenel Machine to create a high-performance aluminum Olds head. Of course, it also led RRP to design the head to cover a broad range of applications, from street/strip to full-race. RRP also offers its own intake manifolds and valve covers along with other unique Olds performance parts.
