Ron Robart, Fox Lake's owner, started working for Trick Flow as a cylinder head porter in 1988. Ron was the very first individual to grind on a set of Trick Flow heads and his extensive research and porting time has helped him to develope many porting packages and have a great understanding of the cylinder head airflow business.
In 1992, Summit Racing purchased the entire Trick Flow company. Ron Robart then opened up his own shop, now known as Fox Lake Power Products. Fox Lake has been on the leading edge of cylinder head developement and airflow research ever since. Fox Lake is housed in a new state of the art 5,000 square feet facility with a full engine shop in house to meet any of your engine needs.
Fox Lake is a relitively small but efficient operation, employing only 2 people not including Ron himself.
Jim Tomassetti has been at Fox Lake for over 15 years doing the hand porting and polishing of cylinder heads. Jim knows his job as well as anyone in the business and has ported on just about every cylinder head imaginable. Jim also handles valve jobs, valve guide and seat replacment, Bridgeport work, milling, port matching, flow testing, as well as many other shop assignments.
