Chavis Engineering built me one the best cars I've ever owned. The process took almost a year, but was smooth from start to finish. They were very hands on and communicative throughout the project, helping me pick through the different options to create something truly special. 10/10 would recommend and would use them again in the future.

Lets be honest, this shop builds a nice kit but their install work is garbage and Tyler the owner will lie to you. Also he doesn't back any of his work. He left parts missing from my car, parts loose . Car broke down had to be towed back and he said too bad. He doesn't warranty his parts he buys from his vendor, even after he told me he would. Him and His guys beat the hubs with hammer .

Chavis Performance & Engineering are the real deal! Tyler is a very passionate enthusiast who takes the time and effort to truly understand your goals and budget and deliver your dream car.I called him after purchasing a 997.1 LS Hot Cam swap that was completed a few years before. Tyler addressed everything I was looking to get done including a number of items like the upgraded oil cooler system, new TPMS sensors, new steering wheel, numeric shifter install, PCCM+ upgrades - several of which had nothing to do with the original CPE LS swap. Tyler is extremely responsive and a great all around dude. You will really enjoy working with him and his team.

I have had nothing but positive experiences working with Tyler and CPE. I purchased my car already converted and several things were not correct. CPE helped me get things sorted out. Lightening fast shipping too! In a niche market, it is nice to know there is someone knowledgeable with high quality parts available to us. Don't hesitate to reach out to them for your next project!

Purchasing experience was great, parts were delivered way faster than I could expect. The billet parts are nicely designed and well machined. I work in professional motorsports, so I’m used to nice billet part, these did not disappoint. Tyler is very helpful. I put my self in a bit of a bind, he went out of his way to bail me out. This kind of service is rare these days. CPE for the win!

Great help these guys. Whenever I have a technical question relating to swaps or just general wiring issues Tyler has helped instantly sending a wealth of info.

Hey guys, I am somewhat of a lurker here, as I don’t really post, but I wanted to give a review of my CPE RS build. I have owned this car for about a month now and wanted to review it so far. This is now my 4th car from the 987/997 generation and my 2nd swapped one, so I feel I have decent seat time and judgment to write this review.My first car was bone stock, my second was a fully built M97 from LN Engineering with a custom TPC Racing turbo kit pushing 550 whp, my 3rd car was a Renegade swapped Cayman S, and now my CPE RS build.Now, I call this a “CPE RS” build even though it may not technically count as one, given the fact that it was built after he purchased it from Tyler.Now onto the review.SWAP FEEL: The car feels OEM in every aspect imaginable, like it came this way from the factory. It’s professionally buttoned up, and you couldn’t even tell it was swapped. There is truly nothing about it that gives it that “swapped” feel, as if the engine was not supposed to be in this car. It has perfect street manners. It even has a Spec Clutch, and it feels surprisingly amazing given their reputation.All user functionality still exists. All dash buttons and gauges work as they normally would, and the rear decklid/hatch closes like it does from the factory. The A/C blows ice cold, and the heat is hot.I have a 997 C4, and AWD is retained! The CPE ECU integration into the Porsche CAN is seamless, and it shows. There were minimal chassis modifications needed to get the LS to fit, and now CPE offers a “cutless” solution, so there is no hacking or chopping of any kind. It is also fully reversible if you decide to go back to the stock engine (but who the hell would do that haha).The car starts up every time and does not leak a drop of coolant, oil, or fuel at all. It’s seriously well done and turnkey just get in and drive without worries.IATs are ambient, coolant temps are consistent at 180 degrees (I recommend the 160 tstat), and oil pressure is perfect. It has the standard CPE wet-sump oil pan.Tyler worked his ass off to ensure everything works as it should.POWER: Like many CPE swaps, this has the 495 GMPP crate motor. Even with AWD, it’s some serious power. My brother has a G80, and my best friend has an Audi R8, and I keep up with them. 500 hp is a lot for any street car, and this is no exception.GEARING: Now, this is a touchy subject for a lot of people but hear me out: it’s not THAT bad.I was one of those people who bashed these swaps because of the gearing, but after really putting it to the test, I realized it’s actually decent. I have 305/30/19s in the rear, and 6th gear can go from 2k rpm at 50 mph up to 2,900 rpm at 76 mph.OUTREACH / SUPPORT: Tyler and Nicholas have both been amazing.I call Tyler and text him frequently, and he responds immediately. Now, that might not be a good thing because he has a family and a life outside of this, but he cares so much about helping his customers and the community that it is probably a full-time job responding to everyone, but he still does it. A lot of shops don’t do that, and for him to still allow that openness this far into doing swaps is quite simply astounding. I couldn’t imagine doing 50 swaps, selling kits, and still responding to everyone. Best customer service I have encountered, and 2nd place isn’t even close.Overall, I am beyond impressed with the car. I can’t rave about it enough. If you want a truly perfect car, then don’t hesitate to go this route. Not many cars will give you the feeling this does. It breaks necks everywhere it goes and gets so much attention. Lambo owners ask me to park next to them at car meets, which is funny because I prefer to be with the other P cars. All in all, I am super happy and think Tyler calling these “conversions” is more fitting than calling them a “swap.”
