Expert Custom Engine Rebuilds for High-Performance Vehicles

When you want real, measurable horsepower gains, it all starts with the heart of your vehicle, the engine. At The Pitstop Performance and Dyno Shop, our custom engine rebuilds are engineered for strength, reliability, and maximum output. Every rebuild is more than a repair; it’s a redesign. Our performance specialists evaluate every detail, block condition, compression ratio, valve train geometry, and airflow to create an engine that’s stronger, faster, and more responsive than ever.

We specialize in Chevrolet and GM performance engines, including both classic and modern powerplants. From small-block and big-block builds to LS and LT performance platforms, our custom engine work combines precision machining with expert assembly to deliver power that lasts.

Performance Engine Specialists

Few names carry as much performance heritage as Chevrolet and GM, and our team knows how to get the best from them. Whether you’re rebuilding a vintage small-block, upgrading an LS3, or pushing an LT4 to new limits, we deliver engine builds that exceed expectations. Our expertise extends to:

  • Chevrolet LS and LT series engine builds
  • Classic small-block and big-block Chevy performance upgrades
  • Custom cam packages and head work
  • Forced induction engine builds (turbo or supercharged)
  • Engine swaps and conversions for performance and classic applications

From old-school muscle to modern performance, we know what it takes to turn GM power into pure performance excellence.

Custom Exhaust Fabrication and Performance Upgrades

An engine can only perform as well as it breathes, and that’s where a custom exhaust system makes the difference. We design and fabricate high-performance exhaust systems that enhance flow, improve power, and deliver the aggressive sound every driver craves.

Our technicians use advanced fabrication techniques and premium materials to create exhaust systems that balance performance and tone with precision fitment.

Performance and Precision Working Together

Our custom engine and exhaust work go hand in hand. Every build we complete is carefully tuned and tested to ensure both systems complement each other perfectly. The result is a vehicle that not only produces exceptional horsepower and torque but also runs smoother, sounds better, and performs with unmatched efficiency. When your goal is total performance, we make sure every part of your vehicle’s powertrain is engineered to deliver it.
