We are a high-end
horsepower performance shop.
AV Tuning & Development is Charleston’s premier automotive performance facility. We are a high-end horsepower performance shop that caters to exotics, domestics (classic + late model), and imports. Our Owner, Anthony, started AV Tuning & Development in the early 2000’s after completing his Mechanical Engineering education at Clemson University. He saw the void of professionalism in our industry and used it as an opportunity to combine his education with his passion for speed. We are firm believers that things should be done right the first time and we refuse to cut corners. We love what we do and it shows in our final product time and time again.
We are fortunate to have a very skilled team of technicians and calibrators on board who are all like-minded individuals. We strive to maintain a clean and organized environment while operating in a 10,000sq-ft facility. Our shop utilizes dedicated area’s for fabrication, dyno tuning, engine assembly, and installation bays.
Modern engine management tuning is half science, and half art.
We take our time with each calibration, to ensure maximum performance and safety across the entire RPM range. Unlike other dyno’s found, we are the only facility to offer the Eddy Current Load Absorption Unit, Torque Cell, and dynamic load control software. With this unit we can perform loaded tests, including step, sweep, and wind drag simulation. What does that mean for you the customer? Better fuel economy, more midrange power, and no hesitation issues since we can hold your engine at a steady load and calibrate any parameter/cell as needed. We offer tuning for a wide array of both piggy back and stand alone engine management services.


No corners should be cut
… especially when it comes to something as complex as an engine. Unlike some other shops, we do not offer back-yard builds or deal with cut-rate machine shops to machine or assemble our engines. We believe that every engine should be spec’d out per our client’s wishes as no 2 set-ups are ever the same. We have partnered with such reputable companies in the industry such as T1 Race Development, Texas Speed & Performance, & IAG Performance to provide the highest caliber of machine work and engines that are available on the market. We also provide in-house engine assembly based on the application. Whether you are looking for a reliable 300whp street vehicle to a 2000whp race monster, AV Tuning & Development has your project covered from start to finish!
