APA Custom Shop builds real power into Chevrolet LS and LT platforms right here in Queen Creek, Arizona. Whether you are running a Camaro SS, a Corvette, or a Silverado with the 5.3 or 6.2, we handle everything from a foundational ECU tune to full forced induction, all proven on our in-house Dynojet dyno. Call us at (602) 762-4916 to talk through your build.
Built for Chevrolet LS and LT Platforms
The LS and LT engine families respond incredibly well to the right parts backed by the right calibration, and that is exactly what we live for. At APA Custom Shop we work on Camaro SS, Corvette, and Silverado 5.3 and 6.2 builds, from mild daily drivers to serious street and strip cars. Decades of combined automotive and motorsport experience means we know these platforms and where the power actually hides.
Everything happens under one roof. We run ECU tuning with HP Tuners, install cam packages, long-tube headers and exhaust, and handle supercharger and turbo setups. When a project calls for more, we take on engine builds and swaps, custom fabrication, and the supporting suspension, brake, and alignment work that makes the power usable. We also lean on trusted partners like Dynojet, Texas Speed and Performance, and RideTech to spec the right parts.

Stage It Your Way: Tune, Bolt-Ons, Boost
Most Chevy builds follow a natural path, and thinking about it in stages keeps your money working and your combo balanced. A lot of owners start with a tune, add bolt-ons as the budget allows, then step up to forced induction when they are ready for a bigger jump. We help you map the whole road up front so each dollar sets up the next one instead of getting thrown away.
There is no fixed menu here, because your car, your goals, and your budget drive the plan. Ask about current options for your specific platform and we will put together a package that fits where you are and where you want to end up.
- Foundation: an ECU tune to sharpen throttle response, shifts, and drivability
- Bolt-ons: cam, long-tube headers, intake, and exhaust with a supporting tune
- Forced induction: a supercharger or turbo with the fueling and calibration to match
Why the Tune Is the Foundation
You can bolt on all the parts you want, but without a proper calibration you are leaving power on the table and putting your engine at risk. Cams, headers, and boost all change how the engine wants fuel and timing, and the factory tune was never written for your new combo. That is why every meaningful build earns time on our in-house Dynojet dyno, where we can watch real numbers and dial the car in safely.
We tune with HP Tuners on both LS and LT platforms, and we can also unlock and tune Mopar ECUs, so if you have more than one project in the garage we have you covered. Not local? Ask about remote tuning, where we get a calibration dialed in for your car without the long drive.
Get Your Exact Chevy Build Quoted
The honest answer to what will this cost and how much power will I make is that it depends on your car and your goals, so we quote your exact build instead of selling a one size box. Tell us the platform, what you are chasing, and how you drive it, and we will lay out a plan that makes sense. Call APA Custom Shop at (602) 762-4916 or stop by the shop in Queen Creek during the week.
When you reach out you will likely deal with Sean, Tiffany, or Jared. Sean lives on the tuning and build side and loves talking combos, Tiffany keeps the schedule and your project moving, and Jared is hands-on in the shop turning wrenches. We are owner-run gearheads who would rather tell you the truth about a build than oversell it, and our 4.6 star rating across 60 Google reviews reflects that.
