Thread: CalSpeed & Performance - Details on our shop and some of our customers builds etc:

This hasnt been updated for about the last year of builds but I will add some more when I get more than a moment. I wanted to tell a few of you guys about our shop.


CalSpeed & Performance - located in Bakersfield, CA

We've been in the LS1 performance business for over 10 years since 2000 and I've held off advertising online and even locally for quite some time due to worries of handling the extra customer base and high volume of daily phone calls advertising here would bring, but I welcome the opportunity to provide services and help for any customers local or nationwide.

Feel free to give us a call anytime 661-387-0403 mon-fri 10am-6pm.

Our shop is a a full performance, installation and fabrication shop that can handle any build from your daily driver 10-13 second car, to your 7-9 second street/race car/truck. We can chassis dyno tune almost any brand of EFI aftermarket or factory.Specializing in LSx, LTx, any small/big block, mopars from 318-440"+, Ford 5.0/351/etc and 4.6/5.4 modular.

We are also one of the west coasts leading Fbody/GTO/Corvette salvage/parts suppliers. We supplied over 75 complete LS1/LS2/5.3/6.0/LS3/LS7 drivetrains to customers and other shops for their customers. On the average have 3-5 complete drivetrains in stock as well as any/every part you could need from the 50+ Fbodies we salvaged/parted out last year alone. We have dozens of complete front clips/suspension/rearends/interiors/exterior/body panels/wheels&tires in stock.

Custom dyno/street wideband tuning for all GM based cars & trucks (Duramax's as well). I have tuned over 1000+ vehicles since I began LS tuning. I was a beta tester for the first LS1 tuning software: LS1Edit many years ago and Ive been tuning with HPTuners/EFILive since its release. 1/2/3 bar setups. We have two different chassis dynos we tune on, one being a standard Dynojet 248 and the other a Mustang 1100SE load bearing eddy current.
I also do mail order tuning as well.

Extremely competitive parts prices and our labor/install rates are excellent
