What we do
From stock streetcar to strip weapon
Ford and Chevy performance is what we live in — Foxbodies, Terminators, Coyote swaps, boosted trucks. Whether it's a bolt-on and a tune or a full drag-radial build, it gets done right and gets proven on the rollers.
Turbo & Supercharger Installs
Installation and tuning of forced induction done right: HPT twin-turbo kits, ProChargers, Whipple and Kenne Bell superchargers, with the fuel and supporting mods to match.
See boost optionsDyno Tuning
In-house dyno testing and tuning for boosted and naturally aspirated combos — boost control, MAT monitoring, and EFI calibration. You leave with numbers, not guesses.
See dyno servicesEngine Building
Custom engine builds including small block Ford strokers (306, 427ci SBF), Coyote swaps, and high-RPM naturally aspirated combinations built to be leaned on.
See engine workCustom Fabrication
Full-length aluminum exhaust, air-to-water intercooler plumbing, wiring, and chassis mods for drag radial and no-prep competition — fabricated in-house.

Watch it make power
We document our work on camera — dyno pulls, first starts, blower shootouts — so you can see exactly how a build leaves this shop. These are the videos our customers' cars starred in.

The shop
Two guys who race what they build
Streetcar Shenanigans Performance is run by Nick and Dan out of Antioch, IL — a shop built around pushing streetcars to their limits. We're deep in Sick Week, Drag Week, and no-prep racing ourselves, so your build gets set up by people who know what it takes to survive a week of full pulls and highway miles.
We're not a quick-lube, and we're not the cheapest wrench in Lake County. We're a tight shop that takes on builds we can stand behind — and if the schedule's full, we'll tell you straight.
Every major build and dyno session gets documented on video, so you see the work, the numbers, and the results — not just an invoice.
