About Adams Performance

Adams Performance was built on a shared passion for performance and precision by Carl Adams and his son, Coby Adams. With roots in racing and hands-on engineering that go back to the early 1990s, the Adams family has spent decades designing, testing, and refining components that racers and performance enthusiasts can truly rely on. What began as a focus on solving real-world problems at the track evolved into a company dedicated to building lighter, stronger, and more efficient performance parts. Carl Adams brought years of practical racing experience and mechanical insight to the foundation of Adams Performance, while Coby grew up immersed in the world of engines, fabrication, and performance tuning. Today, Coby leads the company with the same principles it was built on: quality workmanship, honest guidance, and products that perform. Since officially launching the business in 2003, Adams Performance has become especially known for its high-performance water pumps and engine components, designed to reduce weight, improve cooling efficiency, and deliver reliable results under demanding conditions. From street-driven sport bikes and dirt bikes to go-karts and micro sprints; every part, engineered towards performing better than standard and every engine built to be the best on track. Based in Mooresville, North Carolina, Adams Performance continues to innovate while staying true to its family-driven roots.

Our Roots & Heritage

The Adams Performance story starts with precision water pumps and racing components for high-output small block Chevy engines. Those early pumps earned a reputation for exceptional machining, high flow, and durability under extreme conditions. That heritage in automotive performance laid the foundation for the quality-driven machine shop we operate today.

In-House Manufacturing

Unlike brands that outsource production, Adams Performance designs, machines, inspects, and assembles its products in-house. Our capabilities include CNC milling and turning, TIG fabrication, fixturing, prototyping, and full inspection. Every part is built with tight control over tolerances, materials, and quality.

Engines, Heads & Tuning

We build and support performance engines for Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, KTM, micro sprints and kart platforms. Services include complete engine builds, cylinder head porting and valve work, resurfacing, airflow optimization, and dyno tuning. Every engine is assembled, balanced, and validated with the same attention to detail we bring to our manufactured parts.

Performance Parts With Purpose

From billet oil pans and swingarms to suspension components, chain guards, brackets, and micro sprint accessories, our parts are engineered to solve real problems at the track. We design for fitment, strength, and longevity—using the same components on our own machines that we ship to customers.
