Check out Andy’s badass V3 build! It came in stock and we decided to “a little more power” just like he asked😆

It began by sending the blower off for Kong’s X-Port. In the downtime we tore the motor out of it and did a full rehaul with a BTR Camshaft, Johnson Lifters, Katech Oil Pump, CHE Trunnions, Manton Pushrods, and of course all the other necessary items. Got the mota stabbed back in and started messing with fueling and cooling. The fuel system is aided by our custom configured Alky methanol system and low side auxiliary pump. The cooling system got upgraded with a DMS heat exchanger & 2 gallon expansion tank hidden in the fender area. Also couldn’t forget a few goodies from DSX, billet lid and flex fuel kit installed somewhere in the mix. Finished it off with a Mighty Mouse ventilation system order to keep the crankcase pressure in check.

After a haul over to , he got it flex fuel tuned at 14psi which put down about 770rwhp/750tq, that makes for an extremely fun driver! Andy definitely has his hands full lol.

Next up, we knocked out an engine refresh on this G8. The owner started to hear lifter tick so he brought it in to get some goodies!

After further teardown we didn’t find anything super exciting, but instead a great example of why to never look at LS cam bearings😆 So anyways after tearing the block down to nothing in order to get all new bearings put in, we could resume the original plan... This motor got all our standard parts, some would say the best ones lol. Johnson lifters, Manton pushrods, CHE trunnions to name a few! Surrounding the engine we have a LSXR manifold, Circle D Converter, BMR motor Mounts, Xforce Headers, and all new accessories.

We got everything wrapped up and loaded ready for a new tune from Shane Hinds. It put down 411/390 on the dyno with this BTR Red Hot cam. That’s a great way to end off the week and Happy Halloween everyone! 👻🎃

It’s wayyyyy past due for a post… so here we have one of our recent projects! Austin came in with his 2021 Hellcat Redeye ready to take a big step up in power!! We set him up with a Kong 2650 Blower and the supporting mods to give him room to grow in the future.

This build consists of:
- Kong Performance 2650
- 2.75 Griptec Pulley
- 130mm Throttle Body
- 4.5” Carbon Intake
- HHP/Kooks Long Tube Headers
- Fuel Injection Depot Triple PWM Fuel Pumps
- Injector Dynamics 1750cc
- Mighty Mouse Ventilation System
- NGK Spark Plugs
- Crank Pin
- DIRS Diff Brace
- JXB Driveshaft Support
- Flex Fuel Sensor/Link
- Mishimoto Coolant Tank
- Barth Tuning

This is a certified ripper, about 20psi of boost on the stock motor/trans should hold him over for a little while haha

Yooo! It’s finally time to unveil the next round of changes on this beast! Jamin has caught the itch that’s for sure😆

We had his 15’ Camaro 1LE back under knife again this year for the following changes:

- LPL 416” Short Block
- Custom Radium Fuel Pump/System
- Cerakoted 2” Headers
- Full Corsa Sport Exhaust w/ V-bands
- DMS 2 Gallon Expansion Tank
- Nick Williams 103TB
- 3.25/10” pulleys

Always a few hiccups along the way, but we got the car over to Shane Hinds to make some revisions, it put down a respectable 960whp/870tq, still on stock heads & a small cam! Good thing there is some room for improvement, because I just know it will be back for more and more, and more after that haha!

Next up we had Elby’s 09’ 4WD TBSS come in with with a knocking noise from the engine, later found to be a spun rod bearing.. No big deal we were already on top of it by having a LS3 shortblock on standby! By the time the motor came out we had the new block fully dressed with an upgraded camshaft, ported LS3 cylinder heads, and the typical LS goodies so everything is fresh! The owner also decided purchase a new oil pan & we added the internal baffle to prevent any oil pressure loss. Brand new square port intake as well as a set of long tube headers still using the stock cat-back which sounds fantastic. Lastly we did a Circle D high stall converter and transmission cooler, on that topic let’s cover what happened next…🤯

Unfortunately, shortly after finishing up the engine work, the transmission said NOPE, no gears no bueno!! 120K miles, an extra 150WHP over stock, it was not ready for the abuse.. Anyways, it needed a new transmission.. soooo as we speak this sucker is getting a stage 6 from RPM Transmissions which should be the last time that will need to be messed with! Should be all finalized very soon and ready for the owner to enjoy.

Take a look at Dan’s Challenger Hellcat we just finished up with an impressive bolt on package!

This build featured the all new plug n play drop in fuel system from Fuel Injection Depot, configurable with dual or triple pumps and PWM controlled. On the engine side we did a set of ID1300 injectors to wrap up the fuel system.

All the extra air is coming from a Kong CNC ported snout, 108mm throttle body, and 2.78 Griptec pulley. To keep everything happy and reliable we added NGK spark plugs, Mighty Mouse Catch Can, 180 thermostat, and also pinned the crank. Then some BMR springs will make sure it’s squatting just the right amount at the drag strip! Tuning was handled remotely with Barth Tuning and it seriously runs like a champ!

Oh booyy do we have a lot to catch up on.. this year has been great so far, so great that we forgot to keep everyone in the loop.. oops!

For time being, enjoy some of these random pics from the last few months haha. Posts should start rolling in soon for those that like the nitty gritty details!

We really need extend a sincere thank you to all of our clients who have supported us in the past and continue to do so. None of it would be possible without a strong support system, loyalty, and referrals throughout these past few years. That said, during this time we please ask for some patience as we are still knocking out ongoing projects for the remainder of summer. Enjoy your Wednesday!🙂

Good evening, here’s one we completed recently. 2016 Hellcat came in to diagnose a drivetrain vibration under acceleration, we found that the 4” CF driveshaft had been making contact with a safety loop, got that fixed. As usual we started to do some preventative maintenance and that led to the discovery of RTV in the tips of the injectors… that’s a first.

Anyways got those cleaned up, did new fuel filter, refit the heat shield, cleaned catch can and plumbed new lines, powder coated brake calipers, extended wheel studs in the rear, and cleaned up a few little things that most shops don’t take the time to do. Got it back on the road in time for the nice weather rolling in. We will likely see this car again this year for some other revisions!

Did someone say Whipple Wednesday?!?😱
It’s crazy we have both the 3.8L and 3.0L in the shop right now. Also word on the street there’s a 3.8 that’s unspoken for if anyone’s feeling spontaneous..😏

Lots of stuff going on behind the scenes right now that we will share very soon!

Well it’s a new year, and we definitely slacked on staying active on here in the end of 2024 but better late than never! Here’s one we have to share, a very familiar ZL1 came in for a Kong Performance x-port supercharger and revised tune, with no other changes it picked up about 4psi of boost with the same pulleys. We swapped in a new set of wheels as well, the fitment is nearly perfect! The owner also had concerns of suspension issues in the front, so we narrowed it down to a blown Magneride strut on the passenger side and decided to replace both up front. Also replaced the front sway bar end links that were on the way out. Topped it all off with a Dedicated Motorsports 160* thermostat and billet housing.

Would like to say thank you to all of our loyal customers since the beginning of this journey, cheers to 2025 making this thing bigger and better!

A very familiar Redeye came back to get a simple window auto-drop feature fixed. With the frameless window design the window drops when the door is opened, turns out that was malfunctioning and dropping while driving down the road😬. After diagnosing, the module needed to be replaced behind the door card and that fixed the issue.

Also its not too often you see TWO Gen 6 Whipple Superchargers bunking together😱 👀
