Performance & tuning · Sacramento · since 2016
Dyno tuning, turbo builds, suspension, brakes and exhaust for the car you love to drive — measured before and after, explained in plain English, and smog-legal in California.
Where the power is
The eight upgrades — hover, tap or tab through all eight
Upgrade 01 · The tune
Fuel, timing and boost mapped for your car, your fuel and your parts, one pull at a time on our in-house chassis dyno. You leave with the before-and-after sheet.
Upgrade 02 · Intake
More air, cooler air, less restriction. On its own it is a few horsepower and a better sound; with a tune, it is how the rest of the build breathes.
Upgrade 03 · Boost
Hybrid and larger turbos, supercharger kits and the fuel system to feed them — sized for the power you will actually use, not a number on a forum.
Upgrade 04 · Intercooler
Keeps intake temperatures down pull after pull, so the power you made on the dyno is still there on the third lap or the fourth on-ramp.
Upgrade 05 · Exhaust
Mandrel-bent stainless, tuned for a sound you can live with on the freeway — and only parts with a CARB Executive Order on a California car.
Upgrade 06 · Suspension
Ride height, damping, corner balance and a performance alignment, set up for how you drive: commuting, canyon roads or a weekend at the track.
Upgrade 07 · Brakes
More power means more speed to shed. Multi-piston calipers, two-piece rotors, track pads and high-temperature fluid, bled and bedded in before you leave.
Upgrade 08 · Wheels & tires
Lighter wheels, stickier rubber and the right offset — mounted, road-force balanced and checked for rub at full lock and full bump.
Every build starts with a baseline pull and a health check — compression, boost leaks, fuel trims — because power added to a tired engine is a breakdown waiting to happen. We tell you what your car needs first, and what it doesn’t need at all.
Services
01
Custom calibration · baseline & final pulls · one day
Every tune starts with a health check and a baseline pull, and ends with a printed sheet that shows exactly what changed. Pump 91, E85 flex fuel or race gas — mapped for the fuel you will actually buy.
02
Turbo · supercharger · fuel · written timeline
Bigger turbos, supercharger kits, injectors, pumps and the cooling to keep it all alive. Planned in writing, built in stages, tuned on our dyno.
03
Coilovers · corner balance · track alignment
Height and damping set for your roads, a corner balance on our scales and an alignment that makes the car turn in like it means it.
04
Calipers · rotors · pads · fluid
Big-brake kits, two-piece rotors, track pads and fluid that will not boil on the second session — bled and bedded in.
05
Cat-back · downpipes · smog-legal
Stainless systems tuned for tone, not drone, with the paperwork to pass smog on a California car.
06
Pads · fluid · nut-and-bolt · tech form
Brake pads and fluid, a torque check on every fastener that matters and your tech-inspection form signed, the week before your event.
The board
On the lifts this week · next open dyno slot in about two weeks
Dyno time books up about two weeks out. Maintenance, brakes and alignments usually get a bay the same week — and we look after stock cars too, with the same care as the builds.
The team
Head tuner · ASE Master Technician · best pull 1,046 whp
Fifteen years on the dyno, from rotaries to twin-turbo V8s. Tunes for the car you drive every day first and the number second, and will not flash a map he would not run in his own car.
Chassis & suspension · ASE A4 · best lap 1:58.4
Races a Miata on weekends and sets up coilovers like a race engineer during the week. Corner-balances every car he touches, and will talk you out of springs that are too stiff for the street.
Engine builder · ASE A1 & L1 · best pull 682 whp
Builds the engines that make the big numbers survive: bearings, rods, oiling and cooling, measured twice and logged. Will show you the clearances on paper before he shows you the dyno sheet.
The sheet
My STI made 312 at the wheels on E30 and it still idles like stock. Andre walked me through every pull and sent me home with the sheets.
They talked me out of the expensive coilovers I came in for, set up the ones I had properly, and the car is a different animal. Who does that?
Passed smog with the intake and full exhaust, because every part they fitted had the paperwork. That alone was worth the drive from Roseville.
Rod bearings on an M3 is a scary invoice. Written estimate, photos of the old shells, done when they said, two-year warranty. Zero drama.

Questions
It can. A manufacturer can deny a claim on a part your tune affected. We tell you plainly what is at risk on your car before we start, and we can flash it back to stock before a dealer visit.
02Is it smog-legal in California?We only install emissions-related parts that carry a CARB Executive Order for your car, and our tunes keep every monitor working. Your car passes smog, or we make it right.
03Do you work on stock cars?All the time. Oil changes, brakes, alignments and diagnostics on everyday cars are half our week, done with the same care as the builds.
04How long does a tune take?A Stage 1 dyno tune is usually one day: drop off in the morning, pick up in the afternoon with your sheets. Bigger builds get a written timeline before we start.
05Can I watch my car on the dyno?Yes. There is a window into the dyno cell and a couch beside it. Bring ear protection or borrow ours.
