PERFORMANCE ENGINE PLANNING & BUILDING

When it comes to performance engine builders, Simpson Racing Solutions is the top choice for race car owners and hot rod enthusiasts alike.  Our knowledge of racing, building, tuning, and dyno testing means that we will provide an engine custom tailored to suit your needs.  We are constantly learning on our in-house chassis dyno and flow bench and apply this knowledge to each and every build we perform.

We will design your project using proven planning techniques,  years of experience, and the best selection of engine parts available to meet the needs of your late model or classic application.

Each engine assembled by SRS includes over three pages of extensive engine blueprint documentation.  

This is the engine that your project deserves!

Dyno Break In & Tuning

Critical components of each build are the break-in procedure and initial testing. At SRS we can break-in and tune a combination on our Superflow chassis dyno before it ever leaves our shop.  Options are available for engine dyno testing as well.  Learn more about our in-house  dyno tuning!

Dyno testing allows us to tune several variables including:

• Optimum ignition timing and advance
• Proper intake manifold selection
• Carburetor spacer selection
• Carburetor size and jetting
• Camshaft profile and timing
• Header tube diameter and length

Break-in Tuning

Before turning over your new engine, we have the ability to perform a proper break-in procedure on our in-house chassis dyno. This is an important first step for any new engine to ensure proper piston ring seal and camshaft break in. It also allows us to properly set up the fuel curve with our wideband oxygen sensors and optimize ignition timing and fuel jetting.  Rest assured that when your new combination leaves our shop, it is ready to hit the track, strip, or street.

FAQ's

Is a Custom Engine Better Than a Crate Engine?

A custom built engine lets you build an engine to specifically meet your performance goals and budget.  We have modified crate engines because they fell short of the customer's expectations.

How Much Does it Cost for a Custom Engine?

The price of a custom engine build varies depending on the customer's budget and/or performance goals.  Prior to starting your custom engine build at SRS, you will be provided with a formal estimate that outlines the goals and anticipated cost of the project.    

Are you an Experienced Engine Builder? 

Absolutely, we do it all in terms of building your engine from scratch or rebuilding it from a pre-existing engine that worked before and now needs repairs.  We have been building and modifying engines for more than 25 years.

Break-in Testing & Tuning

Before turning over your new engine, we have the ability to perform a proper break-in procedure on our in-house chassis dyno and/or on an engine dyno at our partner facility. This is an important first step for any new engine to ensure proper piston ring seal and camshaft break in. It also allows us to properly set up the fuel curve with our wideband oxygen sensors and optimize ignition timing and fuel jetting.  Rest assured that when your new combination leaves our shop, it is ready to hit the track, strip, or street.
