Has anyone here used Katech for their build, or performance improvements?

I haven’t used them but have heard but good things about them. Appear to top notch. I would not hesitate to use them for a NA engine. They wouldn’t do my blower motor years ago.

Katech has a good reputation. I’ve never had work done by them. I’ve used cartek, ECS, RPM, and redline in the past. Katech is one of very few shops I wouldn’t hesitate to use.

I had them CNC my heads, add a cam, ATI balancer, C5R chain and oil pump and tuned. Car has a nitrous system and the car came back better than when I dropped it off. Cleaned up my wiring on the nitrous solenoids, never had a worry the whole time they had it.

Over 16 years ago they were the first one I made contact with but they don't do blower work. They probably have more work than they need but I sure wish they would expand.

They rebuilt my N/A engine in my z06 last summer, top notch outfit a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. 😎Now my z06 is special

Default Just beware!

Katech, use to be a great shop to have work done, The shop still does great work but the front office management is questionable. Steve Spurr ex president of Katech has left the company, He was great to deal with and an honest person. Now they have hired a guy from that company named after a local Detroit area street and guess what! Just be carefull!!
