Welcome to Magnatron Racing Products, a division of Magnatron NC Pattern & Mfg. We opened for business in 2016 with our main focus to supply the aerospace and metal casting industries with high precision foundry tooling. Soon after, we could not turn our backs on the racing industry.
Magnatron was started by Cary Chouinard, former owner of Performance Induction and Director of manufacturing for Mast Motorsports and ET Performance. Cary was one of the first innovators of aftermarket racing cylinder heads for the GM LS series engine. Released as a product of ET Performance, Cary purchased the intellectual properties of ET Performance in 2008 and started Performance Induction Specialties LLC in 2008. With a fresh start, He moved forward and re-introduced the ETP product line under the Perf- Induction Label. Furthermore Cary designed and built the first canted valve LS race head. The Mozez head was introduced along with the PXR inline cylinder head in 2009. During the transition, Cary also invented and produced the first of its kind, two piece split manifold for the LS series engines. The fully cnc ported manifolds took off real well and became a trend in the industry, with Edelbrock, All Pro, CID and Dart following suit with the 2 piece design. Today, that same manifold is on every ARCA engine running a LS Engine.
In late 2010, Performance Induction was purchased by Mast Motorsports of Nacogdoches, TX. Cary was very excited with the new venture and joining forces with the Texas team of skilled engine builders and engineer Horace Mast. Mast has performed very well in the marketplace and Cary amicably parted with Mast and started Magnatron in 2016.
Recently, Cary and long time friend and fellow innovator John Marcella of Marcella Manifold have joined forces to further build the product line of billet engine hard parts including cylinder heads, custom manifolds and now billet engine blocks. We look forward to supplying some awesome products and introducing a line of engine parts that will raise the par in the performance racing industry. Please check back often for updates on our new and current product line.
