History Speedrun: Prestige Motorsports
Prestige Motorsports was founded back in 2008, the company is based in Concord, North Carolina and it’s developed a nationwide reputation for the quality of their engine builds.
They build engines for race cars and performance street cars, as well as high-end marine engines for offshore boats, pleasure boats, airboats, and workboats. They can build custom Ford, Chevrolet, and Mopar V8s, with power levels reaching to over 1,000 bhp on some of their supercharged offerings.
The company’s engine workshop contains a slew of specialist machining equipment, including a Centroid A560 CNC machine, a Multi Bal 5500 Series CWT balancer, a Serdi Profile CNC seat and guide machine, a Rottler H80 CNC Diamond cylinder hone, a SuperFlow 1020 flow bench, and quite a bit more.
Since the company first opened its doors it has built over 300 custom engines, and this number climbs week by week as more engines are completed, dyno tested, crated up, and shipped out.
