    At this time we have stepped back from the company for some restructuring and possible location change. I am still performing small jobs out of my garage on weekend when time allows. I will update this page with details as they come. Thank you.

    So here is the official Arizona Performance Engineering page. We are an Arizona based company, specializing in design, product development, engine/ systems integration, off-road fabrication, sales, service, and installation, exclusively for Total Chaos, DMZ, Maxtrax America and GM Performance. We also offer full prep for race/prerunners , cnc laser etching and engraving (switch plates, number plates, aluminum panels, etc), cad (Solidworks,Solidedge), 3d printing/ rapid prototyping, and turnkey GM LS3/drivetrain conversions. I personally have been a member on this forum for quite some time and have done a fair amount of work for members. Feel free to comment and add your experience with me or the company. AZ Performance strives to be a niche, relationship rooted company, not only with our customers, but with our select vendors, especially collaborative efforts with other local businesses. All quotes with be provided via pms, Instagram DM, or email. Thank you all!

    My build would not be what it is without the knowledge and help from Jason. It started with my 08 and is now my 15. I couldn't be happier with what he has helped me accomplish in this build and still what we have left to accomplish.

    Jason was a huge help during the troubleshooting of my trans/torque converter.

    He walked me through and showed me that tearing out a transmission isnt as bad as it seems. He knew exactly what needed to be done, and he did it. The shop was WELL equipped with everything we needed. Dont know how I would of gotten this done without a vehicle lift.

    Thanks again Jason for all the help!!

    Jason is the man and fixed my truck more times than myself! Also he is always there to reply whenever I bugged him with random questions on how to make my truck stronger and faster off road and more reliable on/off road.

    I Thought I tweaked my shock tower so we added some gussetts in there.


    After I cracked my LCA mounts he installed the TC gussett.

    Jason @AzPerformanceEngineering has been the biggest "behind the scenes" part of my build! :cheers: Even though there's not much on my truck that shows off his work, it's his true friendship and guidance that has helped me along the way. Rinzler and I have been through a lot, but when this build all first started to come together, I had to learn everything about my truck as I went. This of course lead to breaking things and learning the hard way, then asking him for help. :cool:

    Jason first helped me install my sport hood with scoop, then fixed a stripped bolt in the rear differential (had to take the entire rear end apart), repaired my old Light Racing UCAs, installed my new ICON UCAs, and then another newer set of LCAs. I've called him repeatedly for quick, on the spot help while doing my own maintenance and installing suspension parts. He's also welcomed my fiancée and I to crash at his place numerous times when we needed a place to stay since we live in Tucson. The best part about all of this is he doesn't just do the work... He teaches me along the way, breaking down the process and explaining in great detail the answers to all my newb questions!

    Recently I got the chance to see the official shop. I had blown my ring and pinion in the rear differential so time was of the essence to get my DD back on the road! AZ Performance Engineering is definitely the place to go in Phoenix and get all those difficult projects done. On his anniversary he still showed up after work and installed my new 3rd member with 4.88s from ECGS :thumbsup: He was also a great help while I tried to figure out what to buy for gears beforehand.

    Not sure if every customer can be so lucky BUT I got to drive the absolute coolest rental vehicle evar!!

    @AzPerformanceEngineering was also there to provide me with a nice smooth transaction while ordering my @DMZ Fab & Race Prep Spring Under Kit!:thumbsup: Their knowledge base seems to be endless, and I highly recommend you talk to them before you begin building your truck!
