Centurion Performance & Engines (CP&E) is an Illinois-based manufacturer of custom performance engines and parts. It’s also a custom tuning and install body shop in high demand.

Founded in 2009, the company has a research and development department equipped with advanced tools including a machining center with a SolidWorks station. This comprehensive setup enables the team to design and test the unique combinations of systems and parts that set their products apart, achieving levels of functionality never seen before. Many components and ideas tested here are subsequently integrated into other builds, so the company is continuously improving and innovating for customers.
