What Is SHOP.CHOP?

The build series that shows the real work

SHOP.CHOP is APA Custom Shop's build series documenting real vehicles, real upgrades, and real shop work. Instead of guessing what a cam package sounds like, what a dyno tune involves, or what goes into a forced-induction build, you can watch the process and use it as a starting point for your own performance plan.

Every video is an actual car that came through the shop in Queen Creek: the install, the dyno pulls, the tuning, the sound, the drivability, and the final numbers. It is proof, not a brochure.

  • In every SHOP.CHOP build:
  • The install, done to spec
  • Baseline and after dyno pulls
  • The tune dialed in under real load
  • The sound and the drivability
  • Real, measured results

Questions about the videos and the shop

What is the SHOP.CHOP series?

SHOP.CHOP is APA Custom Shop's build series documenting real vehicles, real upgrades, and real shop work. Instead of guessing what a cam package sounds like, what a dyno tune involves, or what goes into a forced-induction build, you can watch the process and use it as a starting point for your own performance plan.

What kind of videos does APA Custom Shop post?

Real builds from the shop floor: cam installs, long-tube headers and exhaust, supercharger and turbo installs, engine swaps, diagnostics, and custom dyno tuning, with before-and-after results. Every video is an actual car that came through APA Custom Shop in Queen Creek, not stock footage.

Does APA Custom Shop offer dyno tuning?

Yes. We run an in-house Dynojet dynamometer and tune with HP Tuners, so every calibration is measured under real load rather than guessed. You can watch that process in the SHOP.CHOP videos, including pro tunes and E85-versus-91-octane comparisons.

Does APA install cams, headers, superchargers, and turbos?

Yes to all of it, plus engine builds and swaps, custom fabrication, exhaust, suspension and brakes, and performance diagnostics. We handle single upgrades or full builds, and we back the physical parts with a tune.

Can I book a build like one I saw in a video?

Absolutely. Send us the video or mention it when you call, and we will map what applies to your specific vehicle, your goals, your fuel, and your budget. The videos are a great way to point at exactly what you want.

Where is APA Custom Shop located?

APA Custom Shop is at 22375 S Scotland Ct Suite 105, Queen Creek, AZ 85142, open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Call (602) 762-4916. We serve Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and the greater East Valley.

Do I need to know exactly what parts I want before calling?

No. Bring us your vehicle, how you drive it, and what you want out of it, and we will build the plan. We would rather steer you toward the right combination than sell you parts you do not need.

Can APA help with daily-driver performance builds?

Yes. A lot of our work is street-driven cars and trucks that need to start cold, idle clean, and behave in traffic while still making real power. We can build one upgrade at a time or a full package, dialed for drivability.

Seen enough? Let's talk about your build.

Bring us your goals, your vehicle, and the kind of driving you care about. APA Custom Shop can help map the right next step.
