Road Race

Road race engine preparation according to Carl

Time and again it's been proven that peak horsepower is not the answer. For devastating lap times, you need power and torque in the right proportions to give you drivability to fire you out of one corner to the next before the bloke next to you

Our facilities are used by big name teams, but we cannot divulge who they are!

"Even they are surprised at how their motors go after Carl waves his magic wand over them!" ..Rick Kwok (SR500 road racer that shames 350LCs). See this short movie of how Rick's SR500 gets off the line against 1995 model 400cc 4 cylinder bikes.

Years of R&D and discovering the weak points of different engines means Carl can build you the weapon you want without the associated expense of big blowups and failures.

Whether you are racing a multi, triple, V twin or a single, we can make your motor breathe fire on standard pump fuel!

Popular misconceptions

Total loss ignition is the way to go - WRONG! think about it, a weak spark = less horsepower

Big peak power figures = fast lap times - WRONG! torque wins over power, that's why Big Bang engines are winning in MotoGP and WSB

A fast engine can be built by using the best performance parts - WRONG! Unless the parts are all designed to work together you will spend hours chasing the power, only to find out that a camshaft and exhaust combination will NEVER work.

Bring us your engine, preferably in the bike and we will discuss your performance objectives while performing a full diagnostic on the dyno. We can work out a plan for your engine to suit your needs and budget.
