1967 Buick GS - Fast with Class
Background
Over the years SMG Motoring has performed a number of upgrades (5 speed transmission, Moser 12 bolt rear) to this car but the car retained its original 400 cu in Buick engine.

The Results
- Before - 280 WHP and 369 WTQ
- After – 468 WHP and 448 WTQ

ProCharged 2018 Mustang GT
Background
Like so many of SMG Motoring’s customers, the owner of this Mustang was looking to increase their car’s performance with the addition of a proven, reliable power adder. The obvious choice was a ProCharger supercharger.
Wanting to keep the clean, understated look of the Mustang’s engine compartment, the owner chose the optional black powder coating for the supercharger and its mounting brackets.
The Details
- ProCharger P1X supercharger
- Billet by-pass valve
- Verified vehicle calibrations of the completed upgrade using SMG Motoring’s Dynojet chassis dyno
The Results

Supercharged 2007 Corvette C6
Background
The owner of this Corvette had purchased a number of parts to improve the performance of his otherwise stock C6 and didn’t have the time to install them himself. As a result, he went looking for a performance shop with the knowledge, experience and reputation for quality workmanship required to install the parts he purchased.
The Details
- Customer supplied AFR heads
- Customer supplied custom ground cam
- Customer supplied supercharger kit
- Customer supplied Mighty Mouse catch can
- Verified vehicle calibrations of the completed upgrade using SMG Motoring’s Dynojet chassis dyno

ProCharged 1959 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck
Background
This truck came to SMG Motoring with a GM LS engine already installed but the owner wanted a little more power and the WOW factor of a power adder. The owner discussed his goals with SMG Motoring and the decision was made to add a ProCharger supercharger.
As you might expect ProCharger does not make a complete kit to install one of their superchargers on an LS engine in a '59 Ford F-100, this where SMG Motoring’s extensive background with ProCharger superchargers paid off.
The Details:
- ProCharger P1X supercharger
- SMG Motoring designed supercharger installation kit using ProCharger components
- SMG Motoring spec’d custom EFI fuel system
- Verified vehicle calibrations of the completed upgrade using SMG Motoring’s Dynojet chassis dyno
The Results
- Before - 246 WHP and 255 WTQ
- After – 408 WHP and 353 WTQ
Perfection '35
Perfection '35
With the desire to have a one of a kind vehicle and the vision of a hot rod truck in their minds, Chris and Pam came to SMG Motoring in early January of 2019 with an idea. After brainstorming with Fred Jr. and the SMG Motoring team the build we now call "Perfection" was born.
The Idea – To create a killer hot rod truck that is understated at first glance, yet draws you in with its attention to detail. To build a truck that is subtle yet aggressive, tame but mean, all in one killer chassis with tire smoking horsepower on demand. That is the recipe for Perfection.
The Build – A Factory Five Racing '35 Truck kit is the basis for the project. Couple the race inspired chassis with a Procharged LS3 engine, sticky Nitto tires, adjustable coil over suspension, its clear to see how Perfection got its attitude.

* Factory Five Racing 35 Truck Kit built and customized in house at SMG Motoring
* Blue Print Engine 530 hp LS3 Crate Engine (without Procharger)
* Procharger 10 Rib Race Supercharger kit with P1X Blower (boosting engine to 800hp)
