About Us - Aether Forge Odyssey | Performance Tuning & Custom Fabrication

How We Got Started

Look, I'm not gonna feed you some corporate story about "passion meeting purpose" or whatever. Truth is, we started Aether Forge back in 2012 because we were tired of seeing shops half-ass performance builds and charge premium prices for it.

Started in a smaller bay down the street - just me and two buddies who'd spent way too many weekends at the track. We knew what worked and what was just marketing BS. First year we did maybe 20 builds, mostly word-of-mouth from guys who actually drove their cars hard.

Fast forward to now, we're in a proper facility on Industrial Way with equipment that would've blown our minds back then. Still the same crew though, just older and hopefully smarter. We've built everything from street-legal track monsters to full resto-mods that belong in museums.

What hasn't changed? We still don't do cookie-cutter builds, and we're not interested in slapping on parts just because they're trendy. Every car that rolls outta here gets the same attention whether it's a $2k tune or a complete ground-up build.

What Drives Us

Yeah we got values, but they actually mean something here

Precision

We're talking thousandths of an inch here. A dyno tune isn't just hitting some target number - it's about smooth power delivery, drivability, and making sure your motor's not gonna lunch itself after 500 miles. We use real data, not gut feelings. Every bolt gets torqued to spec, every clearance gets measured twice. Sounds boring maybe, but it's the difference between a car that rips and one that ends up on a flatbed.

Power

Obviously we're about making power - that's literally what people pay us for. But it's gotta be reliable power. Anyone can slap a turbo on and make big numbers for one pull. We build setups that'll handle track days, daily driving, whatever you throw at 'em. Proper fuel systems, cooling that actually works, transmissions that won't grenade. Power's useless if your car's in pieces after one good run.

Craftsmanship

This is where we separate ourselves from the bolt-on shops. Custom exhaust work, one-off brackets, intercooler piping that actually fits right - this stuff takes time and skill. We've got guys who can TIG weld aluminum like it's nothing and fabricate solutions for problems that don't have off-the-shelf fixes. When you're doing a unique build, you need people who can actually make parts, not just install 'em.

The Team

We're a crew of gearheads who've been doing this long enough to know what works. Between us we've got decades of track experience, fabrication skills, and way too many failed experiments that taught us what NOT to do.

Everyone here actually wrenches. No sales guys who've never held a torque wrench. When you talk to us about your build, you're talking to the people who'll actually be working on it.

We've got ASE certs, manufacturer training, all that official stuff. But honestly? The real learning comes from building hundreds of cars and seeing what holds up and what doesn't.

What Folks Are Saying

Don't just take our word for it

"Brought my E46 M3 in for a complete suspension overhaul and some engine work. These guys didn't try to upsell me on stuff I didn't need, which was refreshing. The work was clean, the car handles like it's on rails now, and they actually explained what they did instead of just handing me a bill. Been back three times since for different projects."

Marcus T.

2005 BMW M3

"Had Aether Forge build a custom turbo kit for my 350Z. Was nervous about going custom instead of off-the-shelf but man, I'm glad I did. The fitment is perfect, no rubbing or weird angles. Makes 420whp on pump gas and drives totally normal around town. They tuned it conservative for reliability and it's been solid for over a year now."

Devon K.

2007 Nissan 350Z

"Restoration work on my '72 Camaro. Took about 8 months but they kept me updated the whole time. The attention to detail was insane - they color-matched parts I didn't even know needed matching. Engine bay looks like art. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Worth every penny to have it done right the first time."

Robert S.

1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS

"These guys prepped my STI for track duty. Full cage, seats, safety gear, and suspension setup. They know their stuff when it comes to track work. Gave me realistic advice about what I actually needed vs what's just cool to have. The car's way more confidence-inspiring now at speed. They even came out to my first track day to make some adjustments."
