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:

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. :cheers:

Thanks guys, we look forward to being more involved and posting more of what we do here in the near future, as well as hosting more meets.

If you haven't already, make sure to swing by our Facebook page and follow us on there!

danieloneil01 09-08-2014 09:47 PM

I go in for a dyno tune tomorrow. I got plenty of questions and maybe you guys can fabricate a top cover and a air dam below.

stevensa 09-09-2014 09:15 AM

Is this the same Chris Delgado from SSA and the old ectune testing days?

D3PE 09-09-2014 11:56 AM

Stevensa, yes sir!

stevensa 09-10-2014 09:15 AM

Awesome, great to know he is still in Houston. I may have to come use the dyno in the next month or so for NASA classing.

silvrhand 09-10-2014 09:30 AM

really wish someone would open a decent performance shop on the SOUTH side of town.. England Green is the only repuatable one that I know of and they are packed.

D3PE 09-10-2014 05:15 PM

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!

smurfkiller 09-11-2014 10:01 AM

D3PE 09-11-2014 11:57 AM

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.

D3PE 09-11-2014 01:43 PM

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.
