Default New Vendor : D3 Performance Engineering of Houston, TX

Hi Corvette Forum members!

We've been lurking on here for a few weeks and wanted to make an introductory thread before we start posting after we have chosen to sign up here on Corvette Forum becoming a vendor and a more active member of the community.

Most people know us because of our tuning and fabrication, you have probably seen vehicles that we have had the pleasure of building or working on. We are based out of Houston with a small, but extremely experienced and dedicated team of about 10, operating out of our 5,600 square foot climate-controlled fabrication, tuning, and motorsport wiring facility on the North West side of Houston.

We have a team of three full-time fabricators, led by Owner David Donnals, two technicians specifically for motorsport wiring and engine management installation ( We are authorized dealers for MoTec, Pro EFI, as well as Diablosport, HP Tuners, etc.).

We also are very proud to have Owner Chris Delgado as the full-time tuner, and he also has an additional tuner that works alongside of him make up our tuning and calibration department.

With the leadership of active owners, experienced aftermarket service technicians and full-time engineering department are excited to become a part of this online community, and look forward to helping serve some of the desires for reliable, well thought out high-horsepower Corvettes and other high performance vehicles in the Houston area.

We offer everything from dyno tunes, to full turn-key builds, cam packages, superchargers, turbo systems, and we can also make any custom fabrication you can think of become a reality.

We are one of the largest dealers for Pro EFI, we also sell products from fantastic companies like AMS, Precision Turbo, MoTec, Injector Dynamics, and many more, and we fabricate 100% of our D3PE line of products in house with materials sourced in the USA.

Here are a few photos of our shop:

Anyways, we look forward to posting more of some of our projects here at D3PE, and seeing you at events. We are always excited to have the opportunity to visit with fellow car enthusiast and show off our facility and work, so feel free to come by and check us out if you're in Houston, or even by following us along on Facebook!

We will also be posting random project updates to this thread. Again we look forward to immersing in this community and hope to see some of you around!

This is significant praise, and is coming from someone who has intimate knowledge of the Houston high performance scene.

Welcome to the new vendor, D3.

StevenSA, just let me know! We're typically booked up for appointments at least two weeks in advance if you need a tune. If you just need a pull for NASA, unfortunately we have a linked all-wheel drive DynoCom dyno, but NASA requires a very specific DynoJet that has been calibrated by DynoJet within a certain time frame, so we can't do that, but I hear Fast Automotive is where most the CMC/American Iron guys go to get their dyno sheet, but either way come by and check out the shop!

Silvrhand, a lot of us live in this area so that's why we're here, thanks for the compliment though!

I'll have to check about DynoCom, but non dynojet dynos such as a mustang are accepted, just have to use a multiplier to make the hp dynojet equivalent.

Is the DynoCom load bearing similar to a mustang? I have no experience with this brand/model.

Stevensa,

The DynoCom has some pretty advanced features that we use, as well as a link setup so we can make sure the front wheels are rolling on two-wheel-drive cars that require that (the new MP4-12C, Ferrari, and AMG cars are all like this), it's somewhat similar to the DynoJet.

A few years ago when I was looking at getting into CMC they were pretty strict on the DynoJet or nothing policy, good to know!

Check out the information on DynoCom on their site, we also like them because they are based out of Ft. Worth, and we love supporting local business.
