Forged Performance :
Part Sales /Performance Installations / Custom Fabrication / Race Prep / Dyno Tuning / Drivers Instruction /

Many of you already know us from the years of service in the tuner community. But with a new waves of new members we wanted to reintroduce ourselves to you on this forum. We want to thank all of you for your warm hospitality, business and friendships over the years.

Forged Performance is a full service parts, distribution, installation, tuning, and fabrication facility located in the heart of Marietta, GA. As one of the largest Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and Porsche specialty shops in the eastern half of the USA, we are uniquely positioned to offer the highest level of performance and customer service in the industry.

Forged is owned and operated by true motorsports enthusiasts. Our staff of 12 full time employees are highly trained and experienced in all facets of high performance automotive work. From our in-house engine builders, to fabrication specialists, sales associates, and certified tuners, we all love what we do each day.

Our consistency and high ethical work standards are well documented throughout the industry. Dozens of our builds have been featured in numerous publications, including Turbo Magazine, Modified Magazine, Import Tuner, and Nissan Sport Magazine. We are extremely active on most of the major Porsche, Nissan, Subaru, and Evo forums, and gladly share our knowledge and experience with anyone that asks. Helping the community is our way of giving back, and we enjoy the satisfaction of helping others with their issues.

Specializing in the Porsche, Nissan 350Z, G35, GT-R, 370Z, G37, Subaru WRX, STi, and Mitsubishi Evolutions allows us to concentrate our knowledge on a select line of vehicles, and master their intricacies and nuances. Producing high quality performance vehicles each day is no easy task. Many parts require specialized knowledge, experience, and resources to insure a perfect job. But over the years Forged has assembled a dream-team of employees and support personnel to make this happen each and every day.

We promise you the highest level of customer service and support in the industry. Ask around on the forums and you will find that the Forged Performance reputation is stronger than ever.

PART SALES & DISTRIBUTION:

Forged Performance has over 15 years of performance parts sales experience. Through our vast experience in the performance industry we have established ourselves as the "Go To" company to get the parts you have been searching for. At Forged not only will we find you your parts we will offer them at always great prices, and service. We don't just take orders; we interview each customer and insure they are getting the right parts for their modification strategy. Customer service is very important to us! We strive to give you the absolute best possible service. You will find that we answer 99% of phone calls immediately on the first attempt. Promptly respond to e-mails, and private messages. We are often responding to emails and phone calls after-hours, and on weekends.

Behind the scenes at Forged Performance for this past 8 months we have been diligently working away on new cutting edge racing products that will be a must have for anyone who tracks their Nissan GT-R. The products that have been developed are track proven for absolute customer satisfaction. Official press releases will be available in a few weeks.

Forged Performance is Direct with all the leading brands in the tuner industry such as Aeromotions, AMS Performance, Arias Pistons, Brian Crower, Carbonetic, Carbotech, CBRD Speedfactory, Champion Motorsports, CJ Motorsports, Cobb, Cosworth, Crawford, CT Engineering, DBA Rotors, Deatschwerks, Dodson Motorsport, Driveshaft Shop, Fabspeed, Fast Intentions, Forced Performance, Forge Motorsport, Full-Race, Gopro, Eisenmann, Evolution Motorsports, Greddy, HRE Wheels, HKS, Injector Dynamics, JRZ Suspension, Manley, Mines, Ohlins Suspension, Performance Friction, Porsche Motorsport, PPG, Rotora, RSS Supply, SSP Performance, Supertech, Stoptech, Stillen, Swift Spings, Tein Suspension, Tomei, Tialsport, TPC Racing, Volk Wheels, Whiteline, Willall Racing, Wilwood, and more! We have earned our customers trust from countless business transactions domestic, and international. Our shipping and receiving department handles dozens of packages on a daily basis. Want a pallet shipped overseas? No problem! We safely wrap up all packages and secure them with numerous straps, and stretch wrap to insure your package arrives to you flawlessly with all customs documents prepared for easy entry into your country.

PERFORMANCE PARTS INSTALLATION:
Forged Performance is a full-service facility, with seven lifts and a fully-equipped, clean workshop for any needed services. Our dealer certified and experienced technicians are here to professionally install all of your parts and accessories. Oftentimes, bolt-on parts, are anything BUT bolt-on. Over the years, we have "seen it all", and are confident in installing, fabricating, and adapting the most complex parts for the best fitment possible.

Unlike some shops that simply throw a part on a car, our techs go above and beyond, such as discretely looming and routing lines, soldiering and heat-wrapping electrical connectors, and using grommets and heat wrap where appropriate. Vehicles leave our facility in the same or better condition than when they arrived. Each car is thoroughly washed and detailed inside and out prior to delivery. Although we are one of the largest stocking parts dealers, we will gladly install parts that are purchased elsewhere.

Forged Performance is one of a handful of shops, that builds their own race winning engines in-house for maximum quality control. With a zero failure rate, our engines have proven themselves both on the road and on the racetrack. And having pioneered many of the standard engine building parts and practices in the tuning community, our engines are second to none.

Forced induction is our specialty, and we have completed more forced induction installs on Nissan's, Subaru's, and Mitsubishi's than just about any other shop in the country. Experience, safety, and maximum reliable power are our motos's.

CUSTOM FABRICATION:
Forged Performance's in-house fabricators can handle your most demanding and intricate custom projects. Whether it's fabricating a simple mounting bracket, custom intercooler piping, exhaust, or suspension components, we have the experience and skills necessary to quickly complete the job.

Using industrial Miller Tig and Mig welding equipment, and a complete assortment of metal working machines we are able to fabricate anything our customers or technicians can dream up.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE & REPAIR:
Forged Performance offers full manufacturer approved maintenance services and general repairs. From oil and filter changes to a complete 60K service, our technicians perform all dealer recommended maintenance routines in our clean, state of the art facility.

Unless otherwise stated, we use only original equipment replacement parts. Our prices are typically 30% less than comparable services performed at the dealership. We treat each vehicle as if it was our own...really we do. Working surfaces are protected from scratches or stray tools. Floor mats, and seat covers, along with a full exterior wash and interior vaccum are performed prior to vehicle delivery. Just a few of the small extras that sets Forged Performance apart from the others.

DYNO TUNING:
Forged Performance's facility is equipped with a 1200whp capable Dyno Dynamics AWD load based dyno; one of the few in this part of the country. Fully trained and certified in a dozen engine management systems, chances are we can tune it!

Among the top Nissan, Subaru, and Mitsubishi tuners in the country, Sharif Abdelbaset, has well over a 1000 dyno tunes under his belt. In addition to years of experience tuning Haltech, HKS , AEM, Motec, Hydra, UTEC, Cobb, and ECU based reflashes, we are also HKS Pro-Dealer certified by HKS to tune the coveted HKS Fcon Vpro. Only a select group of facilities are authorized and licensed to tune these sophisticated engine management systems and we undergo a rigorous recertification process each year by HKS. Sharif was among the first tuners in the country to write custom maps for the R35 GT-R back in 2008 so his library of knowledge and data makes him a very sought after GT-R tuner.

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. Many "tuners" simple load up a map, and make 3 dyno pulls and call it done. Our approach is entirely different, whereby a unique calibration is created in real-time for each vehicle. With a flat rate approach to tuning, we'll take as much as needed to perfect each tune. And our load based Dyno Dynamics ensures we can hit each load cell, and optimize part throttle mapping, rather than just wide-open-throttle blasts on the typical inertia dyno that many shops utilize.

Our dyno is available for outside tuner's use, and engine break in routines as well.

RACE CAR PREPARATION:
Much of our success has come from track testing and racing many of the products we sell, and pressure checking our tuning and building strategies in the most competitive environments. If you are looking for a dual purpose track car, or a dedicated Time Attack car, Forged Performance can manage it's creation from start to finish.

NASA, SCCA, and Time Attack sanctioning bodies have strict rules on preparing cars for racing. We do all the research to make sure you're car is prepared in a safe and professional manner. We make sure the car meets the requirments of your class. We specialize in fire suppression systems, custom roll cages, seat mounting and driver placement, driver safety gear, chassis stripping, stiffening, and major exterior modifcations.

We offer in-house suspension setup, race alignments, corner balancing, and pre-track inspections as well.

Our services also include complete track side racing support with a full compliment of technicians, spares, and equipment needed to maintain your race car. If you want an "arrive and drive" service, just ask!

DRIVER COACHING:

Motorsports and track day/HPDE's have never been more accessible, but attending an open lapping session or a structured HPDE can be a little bit daunting. If you are ready to experience the benefits of dedicated one-on-one instruction, a private instruction session just might be the ticket to faster lap times.

In addition to his tuning and General Manager responsibilities at Forged Performance, Sharif Abdelbaset is also available for HPDE driver coaching or track car testing. In addition to holding a NASA competition license and instructor certifications from several organizastions, Sharif earned 5 podium finishes in the Redline Time Attack series in 2008. In 2009 Sharif took 3rd place overall with 4 more podium finishes with his Nissan GT-R all across the country. This year he has continued his victories in NASA Time Trial events throughout the country and has reset a couple track records in the process! If you you near a NASA South East event, you owe it to yourself to watch the GT-R in action on the track. It's an amazing site to be seen, and consistently the fastest thing on 4 wheels!

While instructing, his students point out his ability to communicate clearly and effectively, and his ability to tailor the training session to each student's style and their vehicle. Sharif has seat time and racing experience in many vehicles, including Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and many others. His ability to articulate feedback and direction while focusing on the track is very comforting to his students. Oftentimes, focusing on just one two skills will yield seconds of lap-time improvement. Using a data acquisition system installed on each each car makes it easy to quantify results and benchmark improvements. Contact Sharif directly with any questions or to schedule a training session.

As you can see Forged Performance has a wide range of services in house. We are here to help you. Please give us a call and talk with the friendly staff of Forged Performance.
