Traditional balancing methods have been used for decades, but they don't account for every variable that affects engine performance.

From bearing loads to counterweight design, understanding what happens inside an engine requires more than a formula.

That's why SAM Tech teaches students to understand the "why" behind the process, not just the procedure itself.

to December 2001, when Car Craft Magazine featured SAM graduate/ Instructor Patrick Topolinski and his 1979 Chevy Malibu. The article highlighted the craftsmanship, performance, and dedication behind a project that evolved into a 9-second drag car. Through countless days and nights in the shop and a passion for racing, Patrick and the students built a car that earned a feature in one of the automotive industry’s most respected publications.
