High Flow Dynamics are dedicated to enhancing the performance characterisitics of the Ford 429/460
engine family. Our background includes years of formal training in automotive and firsthand experience
in the machine shop and at the racecourse. After a component is conceived and engineered, it is proven
at the racetrack prior to being brought to market.

Who We Are
High Flow Dynamics was born from the increased need for quality, specialty performance parts for the 429/460 engine family
at a time when the engine's notoriety for high performance is gaining momentum.
Not long after its introduction and during the time most had mistakenly dismissed this engine design as little
more than a low performance luxury sedan motor, the primary designers of our performance products were disassembling Ford
460's and finding themselves impressed with the overall engine design, and subsequently experiencing success with them at
the drag strip. The instant promise of performance from the Ford 460 warranted creating custom fabricated, race
oriented componentry for their own personal use, as almost no performance parts for these engines existed at the
time.
The uniquely engineered 460 performance parts of these machinists/race car fabricators evolved into the very products High
Flow Dynamics offers to you today. Our products are designed in house, by the very same machinists/fabricators
who began exploring the possibilities of this engine as far back as the 1970's and which continues to this day.
At a time when performance parts for american V8 engines are increasingly being manufactured overseas in
places where the final product is often sub-par in quality, High Flow Dynamics rises to the occasion to make
available many different quality, race proven, american made performance parts for the Ford 429/460.
Our Business Philosophy
The objective of our business is to provide a high quality product and reliable service for our customers. We hope you
will enjoy visiting our web site, browsing over our performance prep tips, and using our products as much as we enjoy
providing these things for you.
Our Company
We are happy to have taken our business to the web, thereby providing high performance 429/460 engine builders another
place in cyberspace to turn for performance parts and information. We are proud to be here for our fellow enthusiasts.
Our Employees
Our employees play an important role in our business. Each and every one brings meaningful firsthand experience
to the table and enable us to create great products, bring them to market and get them to you. We bring our
passion for the 429/460 engine family to you through our business, our performance parts and the information on this
web site.
Our Shop
Our in-house machine shops are located in southern California where our newly born products may be brought to any
of the several nearby race courses for repeated real world testing prior to offering the design for sale.
We have also established a secondary, back-up machine shop in northern California which will allow
us to keep supply up with demand on certain products.
Our inventory is currently kept in northern California where it can be readily shipped anywhere on short notice.

Our Test Vehicles
Over the years, our products have been proven in many vehicles. One of our earliest test vehicles was this
Mustang drag car that managed 7.20's in the quarter mile using cast iron passenger car block, heads & crank.

Later came the famed "Nightmare," a race car that ran in Fuel-Altered trim with a Model T body (shown directly below) and
also as a Funny Car (Nightmare II, next lower photo). This vehicle used almost every product High Flow Dynamics
currently offers. With this car, we eventually moved up and experimented with aftermarket aluminum heads
and blocks, but found we could almost manage similar time slips with the production parts.


For continued testing, we are currently constructing a front engine dragster for Nostalgia Top Fuel. Next, we are
building the newest "Nightmare," which replaces the previous Nightmare race cars and will run as a Nostalgia
Funny Car.
Another vehicle proving our products is the dry lakes racer. The motor in this car is generating so much power
that the primary focus is currently getting the rear tires to hook up better with the clay. Nevertheless, top speed
for the 2009 season improved a whopping 14 mph, to 228 mph on the El Mirage's short 1-1/3 mile course; then in 2010 it
reached 244+ mph at Bonneville Speedway's 3 Mile course. We feel there's a significant amount of additional
speed still remaining.

New for the liquid quarter mile, we introduce our drag hydro, "Sick & Twisted," which will serve as our test platform
in drag boat racing.
