I am looking to become a high performance/racing engine builder and i figure since i already know what i like to do i might as well go to school for it,
First choice is SAM, which is the school of automotive machinists. There, they supposedly teach block building/machining/blueprinting and head machining/porting/building/blueprinting, etc. and engine assembly and then test the student-built motors on a dyno.
Second choice is the WyoTech High Performance Powertrain program. They teach,
Engine block design
Rotating and reciprocating assemblies
Performance camshaft and valvetrain variations
Fuel injection management systems
Ignition control systems
Systems upgrades
Electronic engine management system
Computer reprogramming and calibration for outcome parameters
Modifications and power train tuning for improved performance
Chassis dynamometer verification of performance outcomes
Now what i was wondering was, which one would work out better for someone who would like to end up working in a shop like Mainstream or FORGED or any of those places? Or should i go to both of the schools?:thinking:
