The numbers we build to
Power you can verify, not just talk about
Every build gets a plan, a parts list and a tune that proves the result — like a naturally aspirated LS3 making 477 rwhp on 93-octane pump gas, or twin-turbo LS7 Corvettes joining the 1,000 hp club.

What we do
From pads & rotors to 1,000 hp
One shop for the whole build — maintenance, bolt-ons, forced induction, full engine programs and the tune that ties it together.
Turbo & Supercharger Installs
Custom turbo kits and blower installs for LS/LT & Coyote, including twin-turbo builds pushing 1,000+ hp.
Custom Tuning
Dyno tuning to safely extract power from built engines — like 477 rwhp LS3s on 93 octane.
Cam & Valvetrain Packages
Stage 1–3 cam packages with rockers, lifters, pushrods and oil pumps for C6 Corvette and GM platforms.
Transmission & Drivetrain
Sequential gearbox and quick-change rear end installs rated for 1,800+ ft·lb of torque.
Exhaust Systems
Long tube headers, off-road X-pipes and full cat-back systems installed and dialed in.
Lift Kits
Lift kit installation for trucks and SUVs, done with the same care as our race builds.
Brakes
Pads & rotors service — because a car that goes needs to stop. Daily drivers welcome.
Our specialty
Corvette & Mustang builds are our home turf
Some shops do a little of everything. We went deep on two platforms and mastered them — GM LS/LT and Ford Coyote. If it's a C6 Corvette or a Mustang GT, Shelby or Dark Horse, it's speaking our language.
- Corvette C6 performance builds — cams, headers, forced induction
- Twin-turbo LS7 setups and 1,000 hp club builds
- Mustang GT / Shelby / Dark Horse builds & GT350R track prep
- Stroker & stage-cam engine packages, sequential transmissions
We're not the cheapest shop in metro Detroit — we're the one that builds it right the first time.Explore Our Specialties

Straight answers
Questions we get every week
No. We do everything from pads-and-rotors brake service and lift kits to full custom engine programs. Plenty of customers start with an exhaust or cam package and grow the build from there.
GM LS/LT and Ford Coyote (modular) platforms — Corvette C6 especially, plus Mustang GT, Shelby and Dark Horse. If it runs an LS, LT or Coyote, we've likely built one like it.
Yes — custom tuning is how we finish every serious build, extracting power safely. Example: a naturally aspirated LS3 build making 477 rwhp on 93-octane pump gas.
