CVR Performance: Race-Proven Parts Built for the Serious Enthusiast

CVR Performance has been a trusted name in the high-performance and racing aftermarket since 1990. Founded with a mission to supply racers, street rodders, and performance enthusiasts with the finest aftermarket components, CVR has grown into a go-to source for precision-engineered engine and electrical parts. All CVR products are manufactured in Ontario, Canada, with the majority of components designed and machined in-house — a commitment to quality control that sets the brand apart from competitors who rely on offshore sourcing.

CVR's philosophy is straightforward: build parts that can withstand the extreme demands of the track and translate that durability to the street. The brand actively supports and participates in professional motorsports, including both NHRA and IHRA competition, which means every product is validated under real-world racing conditions before it ever reaches a customer's build.

A Full Lineup of High-Performance Engine Components

CVR's catalog spans a wide range of engine systems, making it easy to source multiple performance upgrades from a single trusted manufacturer. The brand is particularly well regarded for its vacuum system components — their vacuum reservoirs and vacuum pumps are popular choices for race cars and high-performance street builds where consistent brake booster and accessory vacuum pressure is critical, especially on engines running aggressive camshaft profiles.

On the rotating assembly and bottom-end side, CVR offers high-strength engine oil pumps machined from billet aluminum to ensure reliable oiling under the punishing conditions of high-RPM racing. For builders who want a clean, show-quality engine bay, CVR's engine timing covers are CNC-machined from T6-6061 billet aluminum, hand-polished to a brilliant finish, and engineered to prevent camshaft movement that can cause timing inaccuracies.

CVR also produces a broad range of engine coolant thermostat housings and water necks in polished and anodized finishes, giving builders a functional and visually striking solution for cooling system connections across Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, and other popular applications.

Why Performance Builders Choose CVR
