Some Of The Brands We Carry Include...
TURBOS & SUPERCHARGERS
Turbos and superchargers are forced induction systems that significantly boost engine power by compressing air and forcing more of it into the combustion chamber. A turbocharger uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which drives a compressor that increases air intake, allowing the engine to burn more fuel and produce more power. This setup delivers substantial performance gains, especially at higher RPMs, making turbos a popular choice for both street and track builds aiming for high horsepower output.
Superchargers, on the other hand, are belt-driven directly by the engine, delivering immediate power without the lag sometimes associated with turbos. This results in quicker throttle response and a consistent boost across the RPM range. Superchargers are ideal for those looking to enhance acceleration and torque, particularly in muscle cars, trucks, or street performance builds. Whether you choose a turbo or supercharger, both upgrades dramatically improve engine performance and deliver the thrilling driving experience that enthusiasts crave.
INTAKE & EXHAUST
Upgrading your intake system is one of the most effective ways to improve airflow to your engine, resulting in better throttle response, increased horsepower, and enhanced engine efficiency. Performance intakes replace restrictive factory airboxes with free-flowing filters and smoother intake tubing, allowing cooler, denser air to reach the combustion chamber. This not only boosts power but can also improve fuel economy under certain driving conditions. Many drivers also enjoy the more aggressive intake sound that comes with these upgrades, adding to the overall driving experience.
Exhaust upgrades complement intake improvements by optimizing how air exits the engine. Performance exhaust systems reduce backpressure and increase exhaust flow through wider piping, high-flow catalytic converters, and less restrictive mufflers. This leads to gains in horsepower and torque, a more refined or aggressive exhaust note (depending on your setup), and often a slight reduction in overall vehicle weight. Together, intake and exhaust upgrades form a balanced performance package that enhances both the sound and power of your vehicle.
DYNO TUNING
Dyno tuning is the process of optimizing a vehicle’s engine performance using a dynamometer—an advanced tool that measures power output, torque, air/fuel ratios, and other key metrics in a controlled environment. By simulating real-world driving conditions, dyno tuning allows precise adjustments to be made to fuel maps, ignition timing, boost levels, and other engine parameters. This results in improved horsepower, torque, drivability, and overall engine efficiency, whether your vehicle is naturally aspirated, turbocharged, or supercharged.
At our shop, we use a state-of-the-art Mainline hub dyno for unmatched accuracy and repeatability. Unlike traditional roller dynos, our hub dyno connects directly to the vehicle’s hubs, eliminating wheel slip and drivetrain loss variables for more precise data. Our experienced tuners work with top-tier software platforms including HPTuners, Motec, and other advanced tuning systems to tailor each tune to your specific setup. Whether you're dialing in a street car, off-road rig, or full race build, our dyno tuning services ensure your vehicle is running at peak performance with maximum reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger?
A turbocharger is powered by exhaust gases, providing high-end horsepower but often with some lag. A supercharger is belt-driven from the engine, offering instant power and better low-end torque. Both significantly boost performance but deliver power differently.
Will adding an aftermarket intake really make a difference?
Yes, a performance intake improves airflow to the engine, which can increase horsepower, throttle response, and efficiency. It also enhances engine sound and is often a first step in a larger performance build.
How does a performance exhaust system improve my vehicle?
A performance exhaust reduces backpressure and improves exhaust flow, allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently. This can lead to noticeable gains in horsepower, torque, and a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note.
What is dyno tuning and why is it important?
Dyno tuning is the process of calibrating your engine’s parameters using a dynamometer to optimize power, efficiency, and reliability. It ensures your modifications—like turbos, superchargers, or exhaust upgrades—are working in sync for the best possible performance.
What tuning platforms do you use for custom calibrations?
We tune using industry-leading platforms like HPTuners, Motec, and several others, depending on your vehicle’s needs. Combined with our Mainline hub dyno, we deliver precise, customized tunes for everything from daily drivers to fully built performance machines.
