Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a tune take?

Most standard tunes are completed same-day (2-4 hours). Complex builds, forced induction calibrations, or engine work may require additional time for proper break-in and calibration - typically 1-3 days depending on the scope.

Do you build complete engines?

Yes - engine building is our specialty. We handle everything from mild street builds to full race motors. This includes short block assembly, cylinder head work, cam installation, and complete long block builds with precision assembly and proper break-in.

Do you install superchargers and turbos?

Absolutely. We install and tune Whipple, VMP, Procharger, Magnuson, Kenne Bell, and various turbo systems. Every forced induction install includes proper fuel system upgrades and custom tuning for safe, reliable power.

Do you offer remote tuning?

Yes, we offer remote tuning for customers who can't visit our Houston shop. Using HP Tuners, DiabloSport, SCT, or EcuTek (depending on platform), we deliver custom calibrations via email with full revision support until your tune is perfect.

What vehicles do you work on?

We specialize in American V8s (HEMI 5.7/6.4/Hellcat, LS/LT, Coyote 5.0), European vehicles (Mercedes-Benz AMG, BMW M-cars and turbo platforms), and Japanese imports (Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infiniti, Scion). Contact us if you have a different platform.
