A long time ago, in a building not so far away...
CSP Opened Shop!
CSP stands for Complete Street Performance. It got its name because when I started by street tuning late model GM vehicles, I did what I felt was a "Complete" Street Tune. Since completestreet.com was too expensive for my blood back then, I simply added performance to the name and CSP was born.
In 2010, what began as a street tuning service, had finally found a shop to call home.
It wasn't much, 2400 square feet with only about 1000-1500 usable for car things. But it was the start of something special.
In May, we began the install of our USED dyno. Thanks to my buddy Bart, we were able to complete the install without any special help... just with some special equipment.
And just like that, sometime in June 2010 the dyno install was complete and we were off to the races.
Truthfully, I felt like this was still a hobby in 2010. In fact, I still had my day job and I was tuning on nights and weekends. It wasn't until a year later that I took that major leap and quit my day job to do CSP full time. And boy, while it's had it's ups and downs, I look back at where it started to where it is now... and it's something that far exceeded anything I ever thought was possible.
There are so many people to thank for this. While it was my brainchild, CSP was a team effort. A bunch of "car guys" doing "car things" and making some pretty wild memories along the way.
Today, our facilities have grown to something much bigger.

Not that everyone enjoys it... like that silly kid in the picture.
We have a ton of great relationships in the industry, like Magnuson and Kooks. In fact, Kooks is helping us celebrate by giving an extra 10% off from June 16-June 23! (End Shameless Plug)
There's too much to list. But I'll tell you, I'm thankful for all of it. It's been a heck of a ride that when I look back at it, I am so very proud of all the accomplishments.
15 Years in and hopefully many more to go!
