Tiesto makes a 9.3 and takes the win @ IFO!!!!!!
Well guys this past weekend the Jotech Performance team was out in Brandenton,FL attending the Import Face-Off event. There was a variety off all the classes and tons of competition to pass around. Yet this time the Jotech crew prevailed and took home the gold, well the trophy anyways.

Having issues with the third gear going in correctly and blow off valve leaking boost; the True Street Class Acura Integra “El Tiesto”, driven by Christian “TI-tec” Gomez, pulled out an amazing 9.37 at 155mph!!!

Project Blacksnow success!!
So these past couple of weeks Jotech Performance took on a returning customer and friend, Mark Kluge and his 8th Gen civic to make an amazing build. Mark Kluge originally had the stock K-series w/ bolt ons producing some heavy power. Yet he still seemed unsatisfied, Mark decided to begin his build on his own by adding his cosmetic upgrades and some stance work. After seeing the power that the “Black Widow” produced, he was set for sure on what he wanted to build. Kluge, decided to pick up his phone and give us a call. Shortly after that the car was put in a transporter and sent down from South Carolina to our shop. The only words after the car arriving in Kissimmee,FL from Mark was “Take care of my baby please!”. Guess what? That is exactly what we did, we took care of his baby and made produce an amazing 298HP/212Tq All-Motor on pump gas!! Dropping in the k20/k24 ERL- sleeved block and the Jotech touch is what created this daily driven beast called the “Blacksnow”. Here are some of the pictures from the build so you guys can enjoy!
