Meet The Owner

Welcome to KTR Performance, where automotive passion meets precision engineering. I'm Kyle, the proud owner and driving force behind our journey to redefine automotive excellence.

From a young age, I've been captivated by the inner workings of machines, whether it was dismantling R/C cars or fine-tuning bicycles. As I transitioned into automobiles during my teenage years, my passion only deepened. Before I even had a driver's license, I was knee-deep in engines, fixing friends' cars and seeking to understand every intricacy under the hood.

My journey took a pivotal turn after high school when I proudly served in the Army as a mechanic. There, I honed my skills and developed a keen understanding of vehicle mechanics and precision engineering. It was during this time that my career as a GM technician began to take shape, marking the start of a remarkable journey spanning over two decades.

Over the years, I've earned coveted certifications, including ASE and GM Master Technician, solidifying my expertise in automotive engineering. With a particular passion for powerplants, especially those adorned with the iconic LS, LT, or Duramax insignia, I delved deeper into performance upgrades, powertrain repairs, and the intricate art of ECU calibration.

In 2017, KTR Performance was born—a culmination of years of expertise, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Fueled by a desire to redefine automotive performance, I set out to create a space where passion meets precision, and every project embodies our unwavering pursuit of perfection.

As you explore our past projects and take a virtual tour of the KTR Performance shop, I invite you to join me on this exhilarating journey. Whether you're dreaming of unleashing the full potential of your vehicle or seeking to breathe new life into a cherished project, I'm here to turn your automotive dreams into reality.

Welcome to KTR Performance, where passion meets precision, and every project is a testament to our commitment to excellence. I look forward to meeting you and discussing how we can bring your automotive dreams to life.
