Performance upgrades
LS and LT cam installs are one of our most common larger jobs. Drivers bring their cars from Myrtle Beach, Conway, Longs, Wilmington, Charleston and Charlotte, and cars ship in from across the U.S.
One of our most common larger jobs, including checking and measuring necessary clearances. After the install the car gets tuned: $450 in person or $400 remote, or a $250 major revision if we already tuned it.
Headers and full exhaust systems installed at the shop in Tabor City, NC. Exhaust work is one of the most common things customers call us about. We do not offer exhaust fabrication at this time.
Intakes are installed at the shop regularly. We recommend proven, name brand components for fueling, ignition and throttle control, because the whole combination has to work together.
Our Rule
One of the biggest problems we see is customers trying to save money in the wrong places. Performance vehicles depend on the entire combination working together, and inexpensive components or improperly performed work can end up costing significantly more to correct later.
We recommend proven, name brand components for critical systems such as fueling, ignition and throttle control. A tune can only work with the mechanical combination it’s given.
Townsend has built Mustangs, Camaros and Corvettes, and completed the engine work on his own C6 Z06, now the Outlaw shop car. After an install, see how we tune.

They took the time to thoroughly explain what was needed, why it was recommended, and provided a clear, itemized quote with no hidden surprises.
Best shop around South Carolina and North Carolina. I’ve gotten a Whipple, full suspension, chassis, fuel system, headers and a lot more installed by this guy and I’ve never ran into any problems.
Townsend and his crew were very honest and transparent, with no surprises on my invoice. I have a highly knowledgeable and trained mechanic for life.
