Testimonials
I purchased a turnkey 1914cc stroker & tranny from Chico Performance Racing and have been blown away by the power and performance she puts out. Chico was great to work with, allowing me to make changes to the initial package deal as he built the engine. Chico helped me put together an engine that would throw your head back yet give me the reliability to drive +/- 75 miles a day as my daily driver. I own a few air-cooleds and always love the conversations I strike up with strangers on the cars. Now when I lift the deck lid everyone takes a step back in awe! Chico's engines are works of art down to the smallest detail. I am 150% satisfied with the product and customer service and would recommend anyone looking for an engine builder to call and just chat with Chico. You will be pleasantly surprised with your experience. - 64Karmann
I am very pleased and impressed with my new CPR 1914 + pro-street transmission. Chico was very polite and prompt when I called him for help and status updates on the build process. He helped me decide what the best combination of power plant options for my driving habits. Now that everything is installed and running perfectly, I can't rave enough about his attention to detail and skill. He is a true master at what he does. He even offered to lend me some of his tools to make the engine install go easier. My 1961 Bug now runs smooth and is very fast. The engine starts right up and idles perfectly. I did not have to make any adjustments, just turned the key and go have fun! The engine looks great too, it could easily take a best engine trophy home from the VW shows I attend. Thank you Chico! - vdub6173
