Baseline
A free 30-minute consult. Then a paid 2-hour dyno block. Three pulls, AFR sweep, knock log. You leave with a printed baseline. We don't quote a build without one.
We're not a shop that wants to tune everything. We're a shop that wants to tune a few platforms exceptionally well. And back the work up with data, dyno graphs, and lap-time deltas you can hold us to.
Marco spent eleven seasons as a performance engineer in IMSA. Three with a GT Daytona team running a 992 GT3 R, and another two with a customer Audi RS LMS program. He started Apex Tuned in 2019 to bring that same engineering discipline to street and HPDE cars in Southern California.
Every customer build runs through the same workflow we used trackside: data log → hypothesis → controlled change → re-log → verify. Nothing leaves the lift without a printed result.
"If a shop can't show you the data, they didn't do the work. We show you the data."

IMSA · 2014 – 2024 · GTD & GT4
This is the process we run on a customer M3 and the process we ran on the GT Daytona car. The scope changes; the discipline doesn't.
A free 30-minute consult. Then a paid 2-hour dyno block. Three pulls, AFR sweep, knock log. You leave with a printed baseline. We don't quote a build without one.
A written build sheet: parts, labor, dyno hours, fuel type, expected gain range, edge cases. If the budget doesn't match the goal we tell you in this step, not after we've started.
Daily photo updates. The same tech who scoped the build does the install. Every fastener torqued to spec. Every fluid logged. No "we'll come back to it."
Final dyno, road test on our 12-mile validation loop, and (for track cars) a check-out session at Streets of Willow. You leave with the graph, the log file, and a delivery checklist.
We share the back of the building with an aerospace machine shop. Climate-controlled. ESD-safe floors. Tools you can eat off of.
A shop is only as good as its measurement tools. Here's what we measure with. And the calibration cadence so you know the numbers stay honest.
Every Apex Tuned tech has competed, instructed, or engineered at the club-racing level or above. We hire from the paddock, not the parts counter.
11 yrs IMSA performance engineer. Mechanical engineering, UC Irvine. Holds an SCCA Pro racing license.
Bootmod3 and MHD certified. Eight years in BMW-specific tuning, two seasons running data on a Porsche Cup car.
Former Continental Tire SportsCar team mechanic. NASA TT3 driver. Lives on the alignment rack.
Certified welder. 12 years with a top-tier brake distributor. Builds custom ducts and cooling solutions in-house.
Your point of contact. Coordinates parts, schedules, transport, and HPDE event support so you never wonder where your car is.
On call for Buttonwillow, Streets, Big Willow and Chuckwalla weekends. Brings the support trailer and the spares.
If we can't prove the gain on our own roller, we won't quote it. "Other shops claim 600 hp" is not data.
Stage 3 numbers on stock LPFP? No. We'd rather lose the sale than blow up your motor.
For a track-day driver under 1:50 at BW, brakes and dampers are almost always the next $5K. We'll tell you that even if it costs us the engine work.
If we touched the engine management, you leave with a fresh dyno graph in your hand. Always.
Every customer gets a named tech, a direct phone number, and daily progress photos. No anonymous service queue.
About this design template
This is a design template that shows how Albertson Designs approaches motorsports websites. The structure, photography, typography, and copy were built around how a real motorsports business actually operates. Generic about-services-contact patterns are not here.
When Albertson Designs builds your site, we use designs like this as a reference for color, structure, and category vocabulary. Every line of code, every photo, and every word is custom for your business. Most full builds ship in four to eight weeks depending on scope.
