The world of high-performance engines is filled with the sounds of inline-six engine revs. It’s enough to get your blood pumping. Fortunately, high-performance engine technicians are some of the most in-demand, highly paid technicians in the automotive industry. If you’re considering a job that lets you work with high-performance engines on a daily basis, you first need to acquire the knowledge and skills required to pursue a rewarding career in the fast lane.

From The Racetrack To The Streets

While you may think of turbochargers and superchargers as the driving force behind a racecar, a full range of muscle cars, trucks and even compact cars feature these horsepower-boosting components. Because turbochargers and superchargers are becoming increasingly available on the market, many technical programs dedicate courses to both types of high-performance engines. In turn, high-performance training is an essential skill needed to succeed in the automotive industry.

Boost Your Salary

High-performance mechanics are needed in the automotive industry, and as a specialized technician with more training under your belt, you’ll have greater opportunities to earn a larger salary. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), automotive service technicians and mechanics in the top 10% earn more than $64,070 a year. And this particular tier encompasses a large number of high-performance mechanics.
