Butler Performance is a family owned and operated business, home grown, from the love of classic cars and racing since the 1960's. Don't be surprised if you call and Jim Butler answers the phone to help you. We are that kind of business where the customer is our main priority. Each customer gets the same friendly small town atmosphere we have grown accustomed to here in the south. Butler built its business on the desire to power the cars they loved to drive and race with high quality cutting edge parts, built by the car lovers and racers that actually drove them. Butler becoming a business naturally came by spending lots of time at the drag strip and car lot with other performance, racing, and classic car enthusiasts.
Over the past 50 years Butler has seen itself go through many changes. With the Butler brothers growing up in the business, it was a natural progression for them to take Butler to the next level in performance parts, engines, and the overall business. From the expansion into a new, larger location with more room to grow, to the addition of an LS team, Butler is set to keep its long standing heritage with classic cars, but also move into the expanding world of high tech engines and performance parts for later model muscle cars as well.
There's lots of reasons to choose Butler Performance ; our history of racing, knowledge of performance engines, professional machine and engine shop, and truly great customer service just to name a few. When you choose Butler Performance you don't just get out of the box parts. We don't take anyone's word for specs, tolerances, clearances, or quality. We put each part through our "Butler Process" to ensure the quality of the part will hold up in race cars, everyday drivers, and classic muscle cars.
Here at Butler Performance we go to the next level with performance engines and parts. We support what we sell and have knowledgeable sales staff that will help answer some of the toughest tech questions. Our heritage started with classic Pontiac's such as the legendary GTO's and Trans Am's from the 60's & 70's. Over the last 25+ years we have progressed into one of the best known speed shops in the world. Our engines have seen the likes of major tv shows, a-list celebrities, sports stars, professional racers, and most importantly, 1,000's of performance enthusiasts just like you. Don't just buy an engine or a part from anyone, buy it from the name synonymous with performance, Butler Performance.
Our Team
First and foremost, we are a performance shop that due to high demand, expanded into the mail order business. We wouldn't be able to skillfully answer your calls and emails simply by hiring "phone sales" people. Our staff consists of former engine builders, shop owners, and racing and engine enthusiasts that have the knowledge you need when you call.
We employ many locals from our community that have the same love for muscle cars, classics, and racing. They have the skills needed to build only Butler quality engines, provide great friendly customer service, and keep the high standards of quality and professionalism you would expect from a world class organization. Our organized, systematic approach to each department and training enables our call center employee's to better answer tech questions, our shipping department can ship and receive faster than before, and our professional engine builders and machinists are better equipped to test and develop Butler quality engines, parts, and services. We are proud to say that our team is what makes Butler the name you have trusted and can continue to trust in the future.
Our Shop
We made the move to a new larger location in 2015. This was big step for Butler in order to accomodate growth and the addition of the LS division to our company. This extra space allowed us to add a substantial amount of inventory and warehouse space. Our customer sales center expanded so we can answer your calls and handle more orders much more efficiently. We expanded our machine shop to include..... as well as a block cleaning room and paint booth. All engines built by Butler will be tested on our state of the art Dyno Center. Overall, the location has enabled us to take Butler to the next level in performance parts and engines. We will be able to handle all of your performance needs for Pontiac engines.
Now days companies come and go. Get your parts, service, and engines from the name you could trust for the last 30 years, plus the next 30 years plus, Butler Performance Pontiac.

Big Chief you're my hero in drag racing, and I absolutely love the show... I love drag racing myself, and I have plenty of time's. However, when it comes to Nascar I'm an Dale Earnhardt Sr fan he was my # 1 hero and he taught me a lot.. I was there when he passed away, and it was terrible I had never heard a crowd of people be so silent as well as the announcer's. You could of heard a pin drop. It was very, very, very devastating. So, please, please, please, please alway's be careful. God bless you, and you're family.. My thought's, and prayer's are alway's with all of you.. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!

What's crazy is this was a few years ago. The NPK cars are now running something like, low 3.80's & 3.70's these days, an their MPH is around 200+. Amazing how the cars just keep getting insanely faster, year after year.

[@matthewvarnam4302]

What's really crazy is that you people really believe that them guy's at NPK are running 3.70's and low 3.80's on a REAL NO-PREP TRACK......listen there's people running 3.60's 3.70's and 3.80's at RVW/ Radial Versus The World which is on a very sticky prepped track and they are full blown promods. Where do you people even get that the NPK guys are running 3.70's and 3.80's on a no-prep track???? There not running that fast on a real no-prep track.

[@matthewvarnam4302]

It doesn't matter if it's 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile racing is racing. But usually people that are so against 1/8 mile is cause they can only go fast on a 1/4 mile cause they don't know how to get there car going that fast in 660' feet they got to have 1,320' feet just to go 120mph or 130mph.

[@MyJc1967]

Big Chief is my favorite racer. He has been a great racer. I miss him on the show but I understand why he’s not going back right now. Network is putting them in a bad position because they don’t race and understand how they do this. Just want them to do whatever they want to do and that’s it

that's about a mid 6 second quarter mile run! about 6.4 actually...... that's QUICK to say the least!

More like mid 5s. Do your math better.

[@rustybritches6747]

@@tahcogunworks it's about a 6.35 quarter @ 234/236mph! I'd really like to see how you came up with your numbers though! 1/4 mile ET=(1/8 mile ET +. 22) /.655 so a 3.994 = about a 6.4336 and if you factor in the ET @ 190.35 mph you can come in as low as 6.33/6.35! but again I'd like to see how you're doing your math! he'd have to run a 3.3825 in the 8th to run a 5.5 quarter!
