STAY AWAY From Superior Automotive!!!


You can try Vaca Performance In downey. I believe Chris and John Just Got HP Tunners and they have a DTS Wheel Dyno in house to tune on. Nice bunch of guys. John usually does all the Dyno stuff. Good bunch of guys to deal with.

Just my opinion, do yourself a favor and get the software yourself. Buying EFI live from Justin is one of the best things I've done.

Sadely enough there all True!!! One of there most recent victims spent 20k On a custom new style Hemi engine with DARTON Sleves and what not. Any way when it blew up not to long after, they blamed it on the car owner, Said he must have messed with the tunning or Has been reving it up while it was cold. The car was in the owners possesion... After getting the typical run around from them He went to chris at Vaca... They tore it apart, because obviously it wasn't running right and guess what... Superior Strikes again....They used an off the shelf piston and fly cut the crap out of it... The fly cut for the valve relief was paper thin over the ring land area and the top of the piston came apart... they had it set up to run like 12:1 A/F Ratio wich also caused excessive wear in the cylinders since it was washing out the rings. Keep in mind this is a new engine with only tunning time on it. It's never been driven yet because it has never actually run right.

To this day I have never Personally seen a car that they have built or worked on Succesfully make a full pass at any track!!! There own comercial shows Joe Jill's car go up on the back bumper off the starting line and slam down on the Oil Pan. But they dont show him crossing the Finish line... Gee I wonder Why... The also have never successfully competed in any Class of drag racing for more then 1 event. They may go to 1 event with there car or a customers car but they don't compete in a specific class for a title or points over the course of the racing season

Carry on.

Keep us posted when you get to that point.

To bad you don't live up here, Rick at Synergy Motorsports does an awesome job I would recommend him to anyone.
