Tuning Packages Bump Vehicle Performance ENGINES At an age when most kids were playing video games Tyler Czipar was rebuilding lawn mowers and garden tractors with blown engines that his dad would buy from the local hardware store and repair shop “Growing up and working on small engines I always knew I wanted to make a career out of performance tuning for a wide range of engines and equipment ” Czipar says After small engine repairs he began building garden tractor-pulling engines then eventually moved into performance tuning He learned first-hand skills working alongside his dad who has an engine-building background After high school he earned an associate degree in electrical technology and since then he’s mastered his skills by self-study and applying what he’s learned Since 2011 Czipar and his wife Katelyn have built Czipar Performance & Tuning into a nationally recognized performance tuning business They’ve grown from tuning vehicles for local customers to bumping horsepower and performance for customers across the U S Canada and other parts of the world “We made a name for ourselves with excellent work for local guys who spread the word and it’s really taken off from there ” Czipar says “Most of our work is for people who just want better performance whether it’s from a truck car or even farm equipment ” Their reputation for exceptional work has even brought them prominent customers such as podcaster Joe Rogan prestige car builder Chip Foose and Ryan Martin of Street Outlaws Czipar says pickups and cars are their main focus but they’ll also tune tractor and combine engines for improved fuel economy and more horsepower Their tuning packages include cam kits Holley tuning and installing performance parts such as intakes headers and manifolds Fuel systems can be upgraded and for extremely high performance they can specify and install several brands of superchargers Tyler’s wife and father Steve are integral to the business Says Katelyn “I’m in the shop every day either ordering parts or handling billing Sometimes Tyler calls out ‘Hey I need a smaller hand to reach in here and put this bolt in ’ We work together to make this business successful ” Czipars also provides a remote tuning package for vehicles that aren’t in their shop This service includes analysis equipment recommendations and step-by-step installation instructions Tyler says their tuning improves power throttle response and gas mileage along with smoother shifting For example modifications such as a GPI HL3 Johnson lifters a Katech oil pump and timing chain GPI hardened push rods a new head manifold ported throttle body and converter produce outstanding power and performance in a 2017 Silverado pickup with a 6 2 V-8 They tune other brands of trucks and cars such as Camaro Mustang Corvette and Dodge Chargers Katelyn says the best way to start a project is to look at their website and Facebook page then contact their office for ideas pricing and a schedule Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Czipar Performance & Tuning 8610 Route 52 S Dubuque Iowa 52003 ph 563-599-8492; cziparperformance@gmail com www cziparperformance com
