For Switzer Performance, high-performance builds are anything but foreign. When owner Tym Switzer got started in this industry, he spent countless hours at Buschur Racing tearing apart limitless forced-induction engines to better understand the inner workings and idiosyncrasies of these emerging applications. Through this research, Buschur Racing has become an industry leader for turbocharged DSMs, Evo’s, and more. From there, Tym created Switzer Performance to take a stab at doing what he knows best—creating first-class street cars with top-notch performance-car characteristics.

Through a methodology focused on extreme attention to detail, Switzer has perfected the tuning process through extensive stock development testing, data logging, and dyno testing. By fully understanding the limitations of a stock platform, it provides a baseline for what can be achieved through the implementation of various performance modifications. The crew at Switzer can assess which of these components or combination thereof is best suited to achieve their end goal. From engine fortification to full-engine builds to adding or upgrading forced-induction components to tuning the engine management system, Switzer is capable of gaining notable numbers on a variety of platforms.

Addressing the power plant, however, is just one step in the process. To deliver a reliable build, all other components of the driveline must also be assessed and dealt with as necessary. Especially in high-horsepower/torque applications, the transmission, axles, and traction control software are all areas of poor performance. Through ongoing testing and iteration, all failure-prone components are resolved and you’re left with a dependable and reliable build, which is a must in any performance platform. Switzer has certainly proven their expertise in this respect.

Thanks guys! I guess I am a bit jaded, 800-1000+hp on a GTR seems to be the norm around here. When built and maintained properly these have been extremely bulletproof considering the power levels and performance, it is phenomenal.
