When planning for a high performance engine, there are several things one must consider. Using quality parts is key to building exceptional power, but even the very best parts may fail if not installed or machined correctly. Likewise, you can own the most advanced machining tools available, but they are easily rendered useless without an operator who understands exactly how to get the most out of them.

Not all machine shops are created equal and not all performance engine builders are equally qualified. Despite what some may argue, we believe that engine building isn't something you can learn in a book, and it certainly isn't something you can know after doing it a couple of times. The qualities of a performance engine builder must be molded slowly over time. Like artists, their skills develop through apprenticeship, creative thinking and practical experimentation.

Pete Costa and I both have 20+ years experience in the automotive industry. Additionally, we have both been active in several types of racing since the early 80's. Together, we have assembled with us a team of dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced staff, all with a passion for high performance engines.

Throughout our time building and racing, we have seen it all! We've seen engine combinations work, and seen others fail. We've seen combinations hold together under exceptional punishment, and others shatter into millions of pieces at the slightest hint of abuse. We spend our days, evenings, and sometimes nights re-visiting vintage ideas, building proven combinations, experimenting with new technologies, and testing our very own conceptual innovations. Then after all that, we spend our weekends at the track racing what we build, testing the limits, and learning how we can do things even better.

We can build a custom combination for you. Whether you're a budget sensitive performance enthusiast, someone looking for a solid, proven combination, or someone looking for the latest and greatest, we will tailor an engine to suit your needs, taste, and budget. There are several ways to build a performance motor. Believe it or not, there are many WRONG ways to build one. A Best Machine Racing motor will be put together correctly, or it won't be put together at all!

The Best Machine equation is simple, the correctly selected parts + the best machining tools + a knowledgeable, experienced engine builder = HAPPY CUSTOMERS; and happy customers is one of the things we're all about.

We call ourselves Best Machine Racing Engines for a reason. It may be bold, but we believe it's accurate!
