Build the whole machine.

Parts do not make a build. The relationship between power, fuel, heat, drivetrain, grip, braking, and the driver does.

Dave builds and races his own track car. DMS brings that whole-car thinking to supercharger and ProCharger systems, turbo upgrades, engine builds, electronics, suspension, big brakes, fabrication, and complete custom projects.

Choose the mission

What are you
building for?

A fast street car and a dedicated track car should not receive the same parts list. Select the way the car needs to live; the priority stack changes with it.

Performance you can enjoy every day

Street performance

Sharper response, stronger acceleration, better sound, and more confidence—without taking away the drivability that makes you enjoy the car every day.

We build street performance around reliability, smooth power delivery, heat management, braking, and overall drivability, so every upgrade works together instead of simply chasing a bigger horsepower number.

Let’s plan your build Talk with Dave about the right street-performance setup for your car.
Build priorities
Reliability
Drivability
Power delivery

Braking & control

Every priority is reviewed against the vehicle, current modifications, intended use, and complete project scope.

About “Stage 1 / 2 / 3”

Build levels should describe the work—not promise a universal parts list.

Those stage labels change between vehicle platforms, kit manufacturers, and calibration providers. DMS uses a vehicle-specific build path instead, so the required hardware, fuel, cooling, braking, and calibration support are written into the plan.

01Foundation

Start with the car you have.

Inspect the baseline, fix existing faults, define the mission, and choose compatible first upgrades without creating a dead end.

  • Vehicle health and leak check
  • Current-modification inventory
  • Brake, tire and fluid baseline
  • First-phase parts and fitment plan
02Integrated Upgrade

Add performance as a system.

Combine the primary upgrade with the fuel, cooling, drivetrain, brake, suspension, electronics, and monitoring it actually requires.

  • Primary power or chassis upgrade
  • Supporting-system capacity review
  • Installation and fabrication
  • Configuration and functional checks
03Complete Build

Plan the whole project path.

Sequence a multi-system street, track, swap, boosted, or custom build around the final use—with serviceability and future phases considered from the beginning.

  • Complete build architecture
  • Parts and dependency sequencing
  • Custom fabrication and integration
  • Final setup and road-use verification
01
Power, airflow & control

Build the system.
Not just the number.

Power parts only work when fuel, cooling, airflow, electronics, and the engine are ready to support them. DMS plans the complete combination around how the car will actually be used.

03 / FORCED INDUCTION

Three ways to move
more air.

The right answer depends on response, packaging, heat, power target, and how the car is used—not which compressor looks best online.

01

ProCharger / centrifugal

Builds boost with engine speed. Strong top-end airflow, familiar street manners, and complete intercooled systems available for many platforms.

  • Belt drive & pulley system
  • Charge piping and intercooler
  • Fuel and calibration support
02

Whipple / twin-screw

Immediate positive-displacement response and a broad torque curve. Packaging, belt drive, charge cooling, and heat exchanger capacity are planned together.

  • Instant response
  • Heat exchanger strategy
  • Drive-system support
03

Turbocharger

Exhaust-driven power with broad sizing and packaging choices. Manifolds, wastegates, charge pipes, cooling, oil supply, and boost control all become part of the build.

  • Single or twin systems
  • Wastegate and boost control
  • Heat and oil management
The whole-car rule

Power never
travels alone.

Every added demand moves through the vehicle. The supporting systems are not extras; they are what makes the result usable.

Dave, founder of Dave's Mechanic Shop, with a DMS performance build
Built from real track experience

Dave races what
he builds.

Build for the complete session—not one impressive moment.

Dave has built his own car for track use. That experience shapes the questions DMS asks before recommending power: how the car stops, how it manages heat, what the drivetrain can hold, and whether the setup still works after repeated use.

Talk directly about my build
From idea to finished system

A build needs
a sequence.

The order prevents mismatched parts, repeated labor, and expensive dead ends.

01

Define the mission

Vehicle, current modifications, intended use, priorities, and real budget.

02

Inspect the starting point

Health, fitment, existing work, and the systems that will carry the new load.

03

Map the build plan

Parts, supporting modifications, dependencies, labor, and practical stages.

04

Install, configure, verify

Complete the approved work, check the full system, road-test where appropriate, and explain the setup.

Before the first bolt

Performance
questions.

Clear answers before the build becomes expensive.

Yes. We install customer-supplied parts after checking fitment, condition, and whether the supporting systems are ready. We will explain any labor or warranty limitations before the work begins.
No. Most projects are street cars that need to stay comfortable and dependable. We also handle weekend, autocross, drag, road-course, and dedicated track builds.
That depends on the platform, power goal, driving style, packaging, heat, and budget. We compare the complete system—not just the compressor—before recommending a direction.
Yes. We can create a complete build plan, prioritize the supporting modifications, and divide the work into practical phases so parts are not purchased twice.
Yes. Calibration, datalogging, revisions, boost and fuel setup, transmission tuning, gauges, and monitoring can be included when the vehicle and project require them.
Project-dependent items can include prototypes, gauge or sensor mounts, switch panels, ducting adapters, trim pieces, and fitment tools. Material and design are selected for the heat and load involved; safety-critical structural parts require a different manufacturing method.
Bolt-on work may be completed quickly, while engine, forced-induction, fabrication, and complete builds take longer. After reviewing the car and parts list, we provide a realistic scope and schedule before work starts.
Ready when you are

Bring the car.
Bring the parts.
Bring the idea.

DMS will help turn it into one complete, practical build plan.
