Way to be driver!

Congratulations to Arianna Samuelson on winner the Hard Charger of the Month presented by Wedge Motorsport for the month of August!

Arianna was consistently moving forward throughout August, passing a total of 27 cars during the month! 🏁

Her biggest charges came at Sharon Speedway:

🏁 August 15th: Started 15th ➡️ Finished 6th — +9 positions

That’s 16 positions gained in just those two races and a total of 27 cars passed throughout August!

Dont have a fancy bump steer gauge?
You always tearing off rear t bars and have sticks of angle aluminum?

Find your self a sharpie and a piece of paper. Grab your jack and measure it!

If you understand the concept it can be this simple.. a little bit of trigonometry will get you there.

Not sure what I mean? Should we do a video?!

If you suck a math dont worrie Chatgpt doesnt 🤣

Last weekend for the Mod we decided last minute to rebuild the motor. The Bossman barely made it to Freedom to tail the feature but put on a show finishing 7th.

Saturday at Stateline Speedway we ran against some of the best UMPs in the world as the Mafia tour was in town. We got the provisional for the feature, so thank you for all that was involved in that.

Lots of tin work and maybe one less engine rebuild this week lol.

Car felt really really good, cant wait for this weekend.

I guess somebody was trying to be the Hand Crafted Performance of the facebook social media contests lol.

Anyways go vote for Arianna 9G Racing

This will probably upset some half of you, make half of you happy, and probably the other half not make you too happy.

We have discovered discrepancy in voting. We believe due to the increased location and amount of votes from other countries that are primarily outside of our traditional region, along with them not really following the demographics of the other polls, We have decided to over turn the previous Wild Card/Kart/Open Wheel round 3 voting to give the voting to Kelli Shagla. We have analyzed as much as we could using what we can on our end, and the math just aint mathin. This isn't in favor of anybody nor is it to p**s anybody off. We just want to make sure if anybody thinks about doing it again, they will be punished.

We apologize for not checking into this sooner as real life reasonability come first instead of social media as thats what pays the bills.

With that being said. Final Four voting starts again!

Like for Arianna 9G Racing
Love for Kelli Shagla!

A moment to appreciate 🙏

Meet Rob Blickenstaff Blickenstaff, he has been an amazing customer of ours for the last few years with dyno records dating back to 2024. Hes a die hard all motor guy who's love for the game is unmatched...what we mean by that is this dude understands how hard that last 1 horsepower could be. On top of that demands to be able to street use this beast of a set up

Assisting SVTuned with the goals on this car has been challenging and probably one of the most awesome journeys we have had yet.

328 wheel horsepower is 2.24 horse per cubic inch on the TIRE this car also has roughly 17% parasitic drivetrain lost. Putting the engine at roughly 395 crank horsepower which is 2.7 horsepower per cubic inch.. on pump E85 (roughly E70 last night)
Late night discussions, theories and determination is what makes this. 100 dyno pulls helps to! 😆 with all of this we aren't sure where it ends but we know there's more left as we keep pushing through data.

Big congrats to rob 👏 🙌 ✨️

🚨 BMW Enthusiasts... Whether It's Your Weekend Street Car or Your Dedicated Race Car, Stop Leaving Power on the Table. 🚨

After 3 years of development, we've refined our 1738400 BMW 2.5L/2.8L cylinder head into a package that delivers performance where you'll actually feel it.

This wasn't built to chase impressive flow bench numbers—it was built to create a better-running engine.

By combining a carefully developed port design with our custom valve job, we've focused on improving cylinder efficiency and combustion quality. The result is an engine that delivers:

✅ Stronger mid-range torque for everyday driving and corner exits
✅ Harder pull through the upper RPM range
✅ Improved fuel efficiency through more efficient airflow and combustion
✅ Better overall throttle response
✅ 100% hand ported and ChampCar legal

Whether you're carving up back roads, building a fun street car, or chasing lap times on race day, this cylinder head is designed to make your BMW feel more responsive every time you press the throttle.

Every cylinder head is hand ported from start to finish—no CNC shortcuts, no mass production. Just proven craftsmanship backed by years of testing and real-world results.

If you're looking to wake up your M50/M52-powered BMW with performance you can actually feel—not just read about—send us a message. We'd be happy to help you choose the right setup for your goals.

Hand Crafted Performance LLC
Developed on the track. Built for the street. Ready for both.

Weekend update:

Tried hunting another heat win, came up one spot short and hung around in the top 5 and finished 6th in the feature at Stateline Speedway!

We got to race with our sponsored driver Arianna 9G Racing who promised to feed us a door in the heat race, didn't receive that one though.

Track was really good as it has been the last few weeks and our driver and car has been getting better each week.

Griffin Williams would have the house crown vic down at PPMS in his first ever big car start. Showing how good this program is, passed cars in heat and feature and finished one spot out of the top 5!
