Big week this week at Prestige with the FoxtoberFest car show taking place this Friday and Saturday. Preparing for that along with the normal weekly happenings in our performance shop and engine shop has made it a busy time for everyone. We’ve really got some big things coming down the pike and we cannot wait to share them all with you guys and gals down the road…so #staytuned :).
Summer has officially come to a close, but we’re as busy as ever digging here at Prestige. The engine shop continues to ship out some beautiful stacked injection engines, and the performance shop keeps digging on current projects and accepted a couple new vehicles in the shop as well. We also had a great time and strong presence at Holley Ford Fest last week in Bowling Green, Kentucky!
We hope you’ve been enjoying our blog detailing some of the projects we have going in the shop throughout the weeks. This week we’ve got the Edlebrock Pro-Flo 4 EFI system getting ready for the dyno, and the Gen III 426 Hemi is about ready to be stuffed back in the Challenger drag car. Of course our 1964 Ford Galaxie project is continuing on with custom interior and a custom air cleaner for the cowl induction system. We’ve got some cool stuff cooking this week so we hope you dig it.
It’s been another busy week here at Prestige Motorsports coming off the holiday weekend. It could be tough coming back to work after some extra time off, but with resto-mods and stroker engines to be completed, we got straight to it Tuesday morning. The dyno was roaring first thing with a 598 drag engine, and an old-school looking Inglese stack injected build is assembled for a local GT40. Mike’s 69 Chevelle gets a brake upgrade in the Performance Shop, and the 75 Ford is back from paint and ready for some new wheels! Check out the images and updates below. Be sure to #StayTuned each week for more happenings at Prestige Motorsports!
We are starting a new segment this week to keep everyone informed on the weekly happenings at Prestige Motorsports. “#StayTuned @ Prestige” will be a weekly blog highlighting current projects that week. This will include any exotic builds in the engine shop, updates on our ongoing project cars in the performance shop, and any on-going research and development, something we pride ourselves in.
This week on Hardcore Tech, we port-match the Holley Hi-Ram intake manifold on our 600 HP, 427 Small Block Ford and test the gains. This
One of the benefits we have as a professional engine builder and performance shop is that we get to experience the same scenarios as the do-it-yourselfer. Instead of building an engine, shipping it off, and wishing our customer good luck, we can take our engine, install it in the customer’s vehicle, and experience that process and its hang-ups. Having first-hand experience allows us to pass wisdom onto other enthusiasts in order to prepare them for what may lie ahead.
The best products in the airboat industry don’t come along by accident. Countless hours of testing and development are put in behind the scenes to ensure the utmost of quality, reliability and performance. Prestige Motorsports in Concord, NC spends more time than the average engine company on their engine dyno perfecting their airboat engines. They continue to test new setups and configurations year-round to offer the best possible product to their airboat clients.
Is your car suddenly running rough or stalling out in warm temperatures? Does it need to sit for hours before it’ll start after you shut it off? These issues are common, and they’re often blamed on carburetors. At Prestige Motorsports, we see these symptoms all the time, and the cause is always the same. In our video on vapor lock, Eric LaBore explains how the fuel itself can cause problems and how Prestige Motorsports addresses the root causes of vapor lock.
Integrating nitrous into your vehicle build is all about generating more power via more fuel. Even a small addition of nitrous can get you 100 or 200 more horsepower easily and affordably. Unlike superchargers, which force-feed more air into your engine, nitrous works by chemical reaction to deliver a sudden burst of oxygen. The downside is that your overall build might not be ready for the heightened performance.
The Ultimate Turnkey Package covers every consideration and saves you money with a volume discount and a one-time shipping cost.
