Only the Highest Quality Materials

The new HP blocks use only the highest quality materials for maximum strength and reliability. These blocks will be delivered with cross bolted steel billet main caps, improved lifter valley design that improves strength in this area, and many other engineered quality and strength improvements. The engine design will allow the use of the original stock performance intakes, heads, exhaust, starters, water pumps, oil pans, and standard internal oiling systems.


The Driven Man is now a proud new distributor of

Fidanza designs and builds Billet Aluminum flywheels with extreme precision. Light weight, high strength and high-heat dissipation will give you the high performance and power you're seeking and give your engine that needed edge. You'll see an increase in usable horsepower, and engine life can be extended with less stress on the crankshaft.

Flywheels are milled from high-quality 6061 T-6 Billet aluminum or 2024 T3 aluminum, depending on the model. The friction surface is 1050 high-carbon steel, secured with Grade 10 Aerospace military-grade fasteners.  Fidanza flywheels can mate with any type of clutch material, including Kevlar, ceramic, organic, metallic and sintered iron. The ring gears are heat-treated for durability and are made from 1050 steel, shrink-fitted, and secured with Grade 8 button screws. The friction surface is also incredibly strong, using 1050 steel. Most flywheel applications use a stepped dowel system, locking them into place, which ensures that the dowels cannot be removed once the pressure plate is installed. 

Fidanza Flywheels

These flywheels are SFI-approved.
