Very excited to see this one hit the race track in a few weeks. Chris brought us this engine to be the first Begler’s Performance 632 BRX 18 engine that’s built for super comp racing. We’re very happy with the horsepower and powerband! We’re pretty loyal to the brands we use here and this engine is no different!

We would like to congratulate Bill Reeves on being chosen as the Grand Marshal for this year’s Memorial Day Parade this Saturday, May 23rd in Wilmington. 🇺🇸

Bill has been a tremendous supporter of our shop and someone we truly appreciate more than words can say. This honor is very well deserved, and we are proud to see him recognized in such a special way.

We encourage everyone to come out and support the parade and ceremony as we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

💨💨 Back at it after a few weeks off from having our baby girl!

This is a 427 Bracket Engine we got wrapped up. It could quickly become our go to combination moving forward! It made 704hp at 7200rpm and 570tq at 6000rpm. It was run on 114 race gas but could be run on 112 as well.
