Butler Performance is a family owned and operated business, home grown, from the love of classic cars and racing since the 1960's. Don't be surprised if you call and Jim Butler answers the phone to help you. We are that kind of business where the customer is our main priority. Each customer gets the same friendly small town atmosphere we have grown accustomed to here in the south. Butler built its business on the desire to power the cars they loved to drive and race with high quality cutting edge parts, built by the car lovers and racers that actually drove them. Butler becoming a business naturally came by spending lots of time at the drag strip and car lot with other performance, racing, and classic car enthusiasts.
Over the past 50 years Butler has seen itself go through many changes. With the Butler brothers growing up in the business, it was a natural progression for them to take Butler to the next level in performance parts, engines, and the overall business. From the expansion into a new, larger location with more room to grow, to the addition of an LS team, Butler is set to keep its long standing heritage with classic cars, but also move into the expanding world of high tech engines and performance parts for later model muscle cars as well.
There's lots of reasons to choose Butler Performance ; our history of racing, knowledge of performance engines, professional machine and engine shop, and truly great customer service just to name a few. When you choose Butler Performance you don't just get out of the box parts. We don't take anyone's word for specs, tolerances, clearances, or quality. We put each part through our "Butler Process" to ensure the quality of the part will hold up in race cars, everyday drivers, and classic muscle cars.
Here at Butler Performance we go to the next level with performance engines and parts. We support what we sell and have knowledgeable sales staff that will help answer some of the toughest tech questions. Our heritage started with classic Pontiac's such as the legendary GTO's and Trans Am's from the 60's & 70's. Over the last 25+ years we have progressed into one of the best known speed shops in the world. Our engines have seen the likes of major tv shows, a-list celebrities, sports stars, professional racers, and most importantly, 1,000's of performance enthusiasts just like you. Don't just buy an engine or a part from anyone, buy it from the name synonymous with performance, Butler Performance.
Our Team
First and foremost, we are a performance shop that due to high demand, expanded into the mail order business. We wouldn't be able to skillfully answer your calls and emails simply by hiring "phone sales" people. Our staff consists of former engine builders, shop owners, and racing and engine enthusiasts that have the knowledge you need when you call.
We employ many locals from our community that have the same love for muscle cars, classics, and racing. They have the skills needed to build only Butler quality engines, provide great friendly customer service, and keep the high standards of quality and professionalism you would expect from a world class organization. Our organized, systematic approach to each department and training enables our call center employee's to better answer tech questions, our shipping department can ship and receive faster than before, and our professional engine builders and machinists are better equipped to test and develop Butler quality engines, parts, and services. We are proud to say that our team is what makes Butler the name you have trusted and can continue to trust in the future.
Our Shop
We made the move to a new larger location in 2015. This was big step for Butler in order to accomodate growth and the addition of the LS division to our company. This extra space allowed us to add a substantial amount of inventory and warehouse space. Our customer sales center expanded so we can answer your calls and handle more orders much more efficiently. We expanded our machine shop to include..... as well as a block cleaning room and paint booth. All engines built by Butler will be tested on our state of the art Dyno Center. Overall, the location has enabled us to take Butler to the next level in performance parts and engines. We will be able to handle all of your performance needs for Pontiac engines.
Now days companies come and go. Get your parts, service, and engines from the name you could trust for the last 30 years, plus the next 30 years plus, Butler Performance Pontiac.

@Jay Adams so basically 405 started it because other area codes were scared? 405 stepped up and showed other area codes wtf was up and then people like you came along, “this area code started it first” But they didn’t give it the exposure like 405 did! 🤣💪🏽🔥

I feel feel like the rest of the 405 just jump on the band wagon of the fastest guy... Chief was that guy and then Ryan came along, then one day when someone faster than Ryan comes along they stand behind that guy. 100% agree his channel is really cool and he goes into detail about how things are done under the hood
Always love a gto!!!!!!!

When I was growing up, my 2 older brothers had built almost all the street rods in my home town!! We had a 2 bay car repair shop in our Front yard!! I started at age 7 and into my teens I built quite a few high Horse Power Engines in that time period! The hottest ran on Methanol and Nitrous injected! To this day it still gives me goose Bumps when I hear the fire up then rev up!! At age 18 I became a Diesel Mechanic!
Try that with your hybrid
Gotta love Jerry's hood scoops. Always bigger than his cars haha

Enough to put a tear in your eye when the good old boy is whoo whoo whoo, and he's almost there, and when he wins the guy is just screaming "405","405," 405!
I miss them on the tube!!!
People sleep on how slick Chief is on the laptop. That deep into the rounds and nobody’s got anything for him. He’s got both lanes down packed.

Man...I miss my 71 GTO Judge with it's 67' 400 , high rise manifold and ( yes it was real and rare ) 3 speed Borg Worner transmission . The drive train wasn't original but it was fast enough to keep up with an L86 Corvette from the rolling stoplight start to over 120 mph . He let up...I didn't. That car was awesome ! PK
God he always wins every single time. Sure it’s good for him and good on him for having a well made car but it got old a while ago
That(Pontiac GTO) Judge done dealt some JUSTICE ⚖️👍😁
1/8 mile racing sux...You can damn near dump your laundry at the hit and still set a record. Been a big fan since day one. I wish they'd get back to more like the original show.

Keep kickn ASS BIG CHIEF. You made Street outlaws what is WAS. Thanks and take care of that sweet beautiful little woman....Jackie.
