What Supertech Performance Products does

Supertech Performance Products (legal entity: Supertech Performance Inc.) is a privately held manufacturer of high-performance and racing-grade engine components, headquartered in Morgan Hill, California, with an engineering heritage the company describes as spanning more than 40 years. The firm produces a comprehensive portfolio of valvetrain and bottom-end components: forged one-piece engine valves in stainless steel and Inconel/Nimonic 751 alloys, Chrome Silicon Vanadium valve springs rated to 9,000 RPM, multi-stage forged aluminum pistons (4032 and 2618 alloys), H-beam and I-beam 4340-steel connecting rods fitted with ARP fasteners, and laser-cut MLS head gaskets with polymer coatings and optional fire rings. Manufacturing is supported by in-house CAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) design optimization, alongside proprietary processes including phosphate dry-lubricant piston coating, gas nitriding, shot-peening, and black-nitride valve treatment to approximately 800 Vickers (52 Rc).

The catalog covers more than 20 performance engine platforms — Honda K-Series and B-Series, Toyota 2JZ/4AGE/B58, BMW S54/S55/B48, Nissan SR20/KA24, Subaru FA20/EJ25, Mitsubishi 4G63/4B11, VW/Audi 1.8T/EA888/EA113, and Ford Ecoboost/Coyote — addressing drift, drag, track, endurance, and powersports use cases (motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs). The company supports both engine builders and individual enthusiasts, with custom valve manufacturing available at a 50-piece minimum run and a wide range of supporting valvetrain components including retainers, valve guides, valve stem seals, cam followers, lash caps, shims, valve locks, spring seat locators, piston rings, wrist pins, circlips, block guards, and locking pins.

Supertech generates revenue predominantly through direct-to-consumer e-commerce at supertechperformance.com, supplemented by an authorized dealer network and international shipping to customers globally; pricing is not publicly disclosed and buyers are routed to cart or sales contact for quoting. Top-of-funnel brand building is driven by sponsorship of professional motorsport drivers and teams — Ryan Tuerck, Fredric Aasbo, Prayoonto Racing, Dylan Hughes, Kazuya Taguchi — alongside Instagram and Facebook engagement. The company is founder-led by Willy Tagliavini (Founder, Owner, and Managing Director), privately financed with no disclosed institutional capital, M&A activity, or public listing.
