PROFORM Parts help NMCA/NMRA Racers Find the Winner’s Circle
 
By the NMRA/NMCA Staff
 
PROFORM has long been known as a leader in the high-performance automotive aftermarket industry, largely because it engineers and manufactures creative products that began as intelligent concepts. The company, which is based in Warren, Mich., has a long-stated goal to provide performance enthusiasts with innovation, quality, and affordability to give each customer maximum value.
 
To that end, it’s no surprise that successful racers in the Red Line Oil NMCA Drag Racing Series and the Holley NMRA Drag Racing Series rely on PROFORM products to help them win—both on the track in the show arena. 
 
The number of products that fall under the PROFORM banner is vast and includes carburetors, radiators, alternators, starters, gear drives, harmonic balancers, fasteners and gaskets, shifter and timing lights, as well as valvetrain and cylinder head components. And let’s not forget about the line of tools designed for enthusiasts and racers.
 
PROFORM is also a factory source for Chevrolet Performance Licensed engine dress parts, Ford Performance Licensed products, carburetors, HEI distributors, electric water pumps, electric fans and engine components.
 
When comes to innovation, PROFORM holds the patent rights to dozens of parts and product designs and there is continuous development of not only new products, but also expanding and improving the current product line.
 
PROFORM was the first to make widely available affordable, non-remanufactured electric parts and accessories; the first to offer the 2-piece timing chain cover, the 2-stage in-line fuel filter, HEI distributor tune-up kits, and direct-replacement carburetor main bodies; and the first to popularize GM Officially Licensed parts bearing the popular Chevrolet® and Bow Tie® trademarks.
 
While PROFORM is known for the quality parts they offer, its involvement in drag racing goes much deeper.  PROFORM is the title sponsor of NMCA PROFORM Parts Rumble, an Index-style class designed to showcase modern GM engines. The class is designed for participants wishing to run slower than 9.00-seconds with no electronics or transbrakes permitted. Any make or body style is permitted, as long as it is powered by a GM LS, LT or LLT power plant. 
 
Last year, Tim Poston was crowned the champion of PROFORM Rumble, holding off Nick Massengale, Keith Vaughn, 2022 class champ Regina Puckett, and DeWayne Massengale.
 
Of particular interest to NMRA/NMCA racers is PROFORM’s line of high-torque starters and alternators, which are perfect for racers who are likely to make many runs over the course of a weekend, as well as those who compete in the True Street classes, where they must complete an exhausting 30-mile street cruise before making three-consecutive runs on the dragstrip. 
 
PROFORM makes more than 30 different starters to fit just about any make of engine with almost any compression ratio. PROFORM alternators are also available for nearly every application from GM, Chevrolet, Ford, or Dodge with outputs ranging from 50 to 160 amps 
 
PROFORM Parts are also designed to provide an optimum combination of high-quality and affordable value. PROFORM prices are the result of experienced and efficient global manufacturing, not cutting corners. The company employs a team of experienced managers, product designers, engineers, and production personnel, who work to serve its customers.
