Ford Performance Specialists — Vancouver, WA & Portland, OR
We Work On Mustangs, Broncos, Raptors, Lightnings, F-Series Trucks & More
Fast Specialties has been the Pacific Northwest’s trusted Ford performance shop since 2005. While we’ve earned a reputation for expertise across multiple domestic and import platforms, our roots run deep in Ford performance. From classic carbureted Mustangs and Broncos to modern Coyote-powered monsters, Raptors, and late-model F-150s, we’ve spent decades building, tuning, and refining Blue Oval V8 platforms of every generation.
Whether you drive a Fox Body Mustang, SN95, S197, S550, a restored F-100, a first-gen Lightning, or a new Bronco Raptor, no shop in the Portland/Vancouver region has more hands-on Ford horsepower experience than Fast Specialties.
Decades of Ford Knowledge — From Classics to Current Models
Our team has worked on virtually every Ford V8 and performance-oriented platform produced since the 1960s, including:
- Fox Body Mustang 5.0 (hundreds built and tuned)
- SN95 Mustang GT & Cobra (forced induction and NA specialists)
- S197 & S550 Mustang GT / Coyote 5.0
- Modern 5.0 F-150s
- F-150 Raptor & Bronco Raptor (engine, exhaust, tuning, and suspension upgrades)
- Classic Bronco & modern Bronco performance upgrades
- F-Series trucks (F-100, F-150, F-250) running small-block, big-block, or Coyote V8s
- F-150 SVT Lightning
- Ford Performance crate engines & custom swaps
- 2005-2006 Ford GT
If it says Ford on the badge and has a V8 under the hood, we’ve built it, swapped it, wired it, plumbed it, or tuned it.
Superchargers, Turbo Kits & Forced Induction
We are one of the Northwest’s top installers and tuners for Ford forced-induction systems, including:
Whipple Superchargers
We’ve installed and tuned dozens of supercharger systems on Mustangs and F-150s — including Whipple kits, which are a popular high-performance upgrade. It’s important to understand that while Ford Performance superchargers often include a limited parts warranty when registered with Ford, the installation of these and other aftermarket forced-induction systems does not automatically extend or maintain the vehicle’s factory powertrain warranty and warranty considerations vary by dealer and vehicle.
Other systems we support:
- ProCharger systems (Stage 1 & Stage 2)
- Vortech supercharger kits
- Turbo setups for Fox Body, SN95, and modern Coyote platforms
- Custom turbo/supercharger fabrication for special projects
From 450 hp daily drivers to 1,000 hp street cars, we’ve seen it all and know which combinations actually work for drivers in Portland and Vancouver
Classic & Modern Bronco Performance
We provide performance solutions for both Classic Broncos and 2021+ Broncos, including:
- Engine upgrades and V8 swaps
- EFI conversions (Holley Sniper II, Terminator X)
- Exhaust and intake improvements
- Suspension and ride-height upgrades
- Bronco Raptor performance and off-road setup
- Drivetrain improvements and gearing
Bronco owners, classic or new, get a massive performance bump with the right combination of parts and tuning, and we’ve built dozens of setups for real-world use. Check out this Bucking Awesome Bronco Build
F-Series Truck & Raptor Specialists
Ford trucks are one of our strongest categories. We routinely work on:
- F-100 restomods
- Classic small-block and 460-powered F-Series trucks
- Modern F-150 5.0 and EcoBoost
- F-150 Raptor (exhaust, tuning, suspension, steering upgrades)
- Bronco Raptor (power upgrades, suspension tuning, exhaust, and performance packages)
Whether it’s a mild towing tune, a full engine build, or off-road suspension upgrades, we know what keeps Ford trucks reliable and powerful.
Carbureted & EFI Ford Tuning Experts
From early pushrod V8s to modern dual overhead cam Coyotes, we tune them all:
- Carbureted 289/302/351W Mustangs
- Holley Sniper II conversions
- Holley Terminator X for classic swaps
- Factory Ford ECU tuning (HP Tuners, SCT)
- Custom harness integration for swaps
- Idle, drivability, and cold-start refinement
No matter the generation, we make your Ford run better than stock.
Injector Data — The #1 Ford Tuning Must-Have
Unlike GM or many import platforms, Ford ECUs rely heavily on precise injector characterization. For proper tuning, we need:
- High/low slope
- Breakpoint
- Offset vs. voltage curve
- Short pulse width adder
- Flow rate vs. pressure
Cheap “42 lb” or “60 lb” eBay/Amazon injectors often lack proper Ford injector data, leading to:
- Erratic idle
- Poor cold starts
- Fuel trim drift
- Tip-in hesitation
- Surging and drivability issues
We see this constantly. It almost always costs customers more in diagnostic time than buying quality injectors with complete data from the start.
Engine Swaps, Transmission Swaps & Custom Builds
We routinely complete:
- Coyote swaps into classic Mustangs, Broncos, and F-100s
- Automatic-to-manual conversions (T56, TR6060, MT-82, etc.)
- Performance builds (NA, boosted, and stroker combinations)
- Cooling, driveline, fuel, and exhaust upgrades
- Track-ready suspension fabrication and alignment
Our lead tuner started his career building engines for Aldridge Motorsports, one of the Northwest’s most respected Ford engine builders — giving Fast Specialties technical depth most shops simply don’t have.

Frequently Asked Questions on Ford Performance
What kinds of Ford vehicles do you work on?
We work on a wide range of Ford performance platforms — from classic Fox Body Mustangs and Broncos to modern Coyote-powered Mustangs, Raptors, Lightnings, Broncos, and F-Series trucks. We also handle crate engines, custom swaps, and performance builds of many generations.
Do performance upgrades like superchargers void my Ford factory warranty?
Installing Ford Performance Parts (including supercharger kits) does not automatically void your factory warranty. Ford Performance Parts come with their own limited warranty and are engineered for compatibility, but if an aftermarket part directly causes a problem, coverage related to that issue may be denied. Warranty determinations are made on a case-by-case basis.
Do Ford Performance superchargers have their own warranty?
Yes — Ford Performance/Whipple supercharger kits typically include a limited warranty (often 3 years or 36,000 miles from installation) on the supercharger components when purchased from an authorized dealer and registered. Warranty specifics vary by kit
What is injector data and why is it important for Ford tuning?
Ford ECUs depend on precise injector characterization (like high/low slope, breakpoint curves, voltage response, etc.) for correct fueling. Without proper data (which cheap injectors often lack), you can see drivability issues like erratic idle, poor cold starts, and fuel trim drift — costing more in tuning time than quality injectors upfront.
Can you tune both carbureted and EFI Ford engines?
Yes — we tune everything from carbureted 289/302/351W engines to modern Coyote 5.0s. We use proven tools (HP Tuners, SCT) and custom wiring/harness integration when needed to dial in idle, drivability, and full performance.
Do you offer forced induction installations like turbos and superchargers?
Absolutely — we install and tune Whipple, ProCharger, and Vortech superchargers, as well as custom turbo systems for classic and modern Ford platforms. We also build custom forced induction setups for unique projects.
Do you do engine swaps and transmission conversions?
Yes — including Coyote swaps into Mustangs, Broncos, and F-100s, automatic-to-manual conversions (T56, TR6060, MT-82), performance builds (NA, boosted, stroker), cooling upgrades, driveline improvements, and full suspension fabrication.
What performance upgrades are typical for Broncos?
We support both classic and 2021+ Broncos with V8 swaps, EFI conversions (Holley Sniper II, Terminator X), intake/exhaust systems, suspension and ride-height upgrades, gearing and drivetrain improvements, and Bronco Raptor-specific performance setups.
Do you offer dyno tuning and testing?
Yes — in-house dyno tuning is part of our process to ensure power goals are met and the engine runs safely and efficiently after modifications.
Why should I choose Fast Specialties for Ford performance work?
With 20+ years of Ford-focused experience, deep Mustang and truck expertise, certified supercharger installations, honest guidance, and hands-on dyno tuning, we help customers avoid costly mistakes and get real performance results.
