High-Performance Powertrains

Learn how to tune an engine and peak its power.

The art of increasing horsepower & efficiency.

Obsessed with figuring out how to increase horsepower and the performance of your engine? Consider this a class in engine performance, covering the fine art of making things go fast from both a mechanical and an electronic perspective. Show up, put in the work, and walk out at the end of 12 weeks with the basic knowledge of tuning both E.F.I. and carbureted engines.

(Note: At this time, we’re working with gasoline-powered vehicles only.)

What You’ll Learn in Just 12 Weeks

Tuning Basics

Everything you need to know to increase performance from both a mechanical and electronic side.

Improving Engine Packages

Make the most of what’s already in place.

Week
01‐06

Phase I

Learn the mechanical side of performance with the basics of how engines operate. Then move into component matching, selection, modification, and measuring. Next, you’ll learn ways to improve existing packages, getting hands-on experience with porting and polishing cylinder heads to improve airflow; and interpreting data using state-of-the-art software.

  • Engine operations 101
  • Cylinder head porting
  • Tuning carburetors
  • Engine rebuilding

Phase II

Phase two is the electronic side, where you’ll put your knowledge to use tuning our WyoTech shop vehicles. First, you’ll learn about fuel delivery to include carburation and EFI (electronic fuel injection) tuned by the proper software; then, you’ll jump into building a map, setting parameters, and building a timing and fuel curve before getting the car on our in-shop dynos to finish being tuned.

  • Explore electronic fuel injection
  • Build a timing & fuel curve
  • Tune on the in-shop dyno
  • Tuning carburetors (including proper matching and how to modify/change them)
  • Opportunity to work on a personal project
