Hand Crafted Performance

08/19/2026

I guess somebody was trying to be the Hand Crafted Performance of the facebook social media contests lol.

Anyways go vote for Arianna 9G Racing

This will probably upset some half of you, make half of you happy, and probably the other half not make you too happy.

We have discovered discrepancy in voting. We believe due to the increased location and amount of votes from other countries that are primarily outside of our traditional region, along with them not really following the demographics of the other polls, We have decided to over turn the previous Wild Card/Kart/Open Wheel round 3 voting to give the voting to Kelli Shagla. We have analyzed as much as we could using what we can on our end, and the math just aint mathin. This isn't in favor of anybody nor is it to p**s anybody off. We just want to make sure if anybody thinks about doing it again, they will be punished.

We apologize for not checking into this sooner as real life reasonability come first instead of social media as thats what pays the bills.

With that being said. Final Four voting starts again!

Like for Arianna 9G Racing
Love for Kelli Shagla!

A moment to appreciate 🙏

Meet Rob Blickenstaff Blickenstaff, he has been an amazing customer of ours for the last few years with dyno records dating back to 2024. Hes a die hard all motor guy who's love for the game is unmatched...what we mean by that is this dude understands how hard that last 1 horsepower could be. On top of that demands to be able to street use this beast of a set up

Assisting SVTuned with the goals on this car has been challenging and probably one of the most awesome journeys we have had yet.

328 wheel horsepower is 2.24 horse per cubic inch on the TIRE this car also has roughly 17% parasitic drivetrain lost. Putting the engine at roughly 395 crank horsepower which is 2.7 horsepower per cubic inch.. on pump E85 (roughly E70 last night)
Late night discussions, theories and determination is what makes this. 100 dyno pulls helps to! 😆 with all of this we aren't sure where it ends but we know there's more left as we keep pushing through data.

Big congrats to rob 👏 🙌 ✨️

🚨 BMW Enthusiasts... Whether It's Your Weekend Street Car or Your Dedicated Race Car, Stop Leaving Power on the Table. 🚨

After 3 years of development, we've refined our 1738400 BMW 2.5L/2.8L cylinder head into a package that delivers performance where you'll actually feel it.

This wasn't built to chase impressive flow bench numbers—it was built to create a better-running engine.

By combining a carefully developed port design with our custom valve job, we've focused on improving cylinder efficiency and combustion quality. The result is an engine that delivers:

✅ Stronger mid-range torque for everyday driving and corner exits
✅ Harder pull through the upper RPM range
✅ Improved fuel efficiency through more efficient airflow and combustion
✅ Better overall throttle response
✅ 100% hand ported and ChampCar legal

Whether you're carving up back roads, building a fun street car, or chasing lap times on race day, this cylinder head is designed to make your BMW feel more responsive every time you press the throttle.

Every cylinder head is hand ported from start to finish—no CNC shortcuts, no mass production. Just proven craftsmanship backed by years of testing and real-world results.

If you're looking to wake up your M50/M52-powered BMW with performance you can actually feel—not just read about—send us a message. We'd be happy to help you choose the right setup for your goals.

Hand Crafted Performance LLC
Developed on the track. Built for the street. Ready for both.

Weekend update:

Tried hunting another heat win, came up one spot short and hung around in the top 5 and finished 6th in the feature at Stateline Speedway!

We got to race with our sponsored driver Arianna 9G Racing who promised to feed us a door in the heat race, didn't receive that one though.

Track was really good as it has been the last few weeks and our driver and car has been getting better each week.

Griffin Williams would have the house crown vic down at PPMS in his first ever big car start. Showing how good this program is, passed cars in heat and feature and finished one spot out of the top 5!

Good run fellas

‼️70th Stateline Celebration results!‼️

Pill draw: 14

Heat 1: 3rd->3rd
Track was super tractioned up and if anyone knows us, knows that ain’t our go to! But Dustin went to work and had some solid runs into 2nd but ultimately crossing the line in 3rd!

A-Feature: 2nd->3rd
The team went to work, watching the track and trying to make adjustments accordingly, to put the best pieces we had together!
Soon enough Dustin took the lead with a caution plaguing us 2 laps in, with all the odds working against us he held on to the lead until about lap 6 or 7 i believe until the 67 capitalized on a mistake made going into the corner!

Tried to hang on to 2nd but ultimately just didn’t have the fastest car! Crossed the line in 3rd! All in all a solid night! Another top 3, at a tracked that seemed to founder us the last two years!

Super proud of Dustin for racing his heart out and giving it his all on a surface that wasn’t bad by any means! Just not a surface we thrive on!
