About Shrader Performance

Who are we?

Our primary business is providing custom built 4.6L and 5.4L modular Ford engines, as well as the new Coyote 5.0L engines, for various levels of high performance, mainly for use in street/strip applications. All engines are meticulously inspected for accurate tolerances and clearances during the build process, and are hand-assembled in a temperature-controlled clean shop. No detail is left untouched and our customer’s engines speak for the quality of our builds, and the reputation we are quickly gaining in the modular Ford industry.

REAR SEAT DELETE kits

In 2002, we began building and selling our own product line of Rear Seat Delete Kits for Mustangs. Over the years, we have sold thousands of our popular kits that has expanded to include Mustangs, Camaros, GTOs, Mini Coopers, Ford Focus, and more. We are the only manufacturer to use ABS Plastic instead of wood to create a high quality durable product. Our goal is to provide increased performance by dropping weight, while retaining a high level of style and convenience in the interior. Beware of knockoff competitors selling inferior kits on the market.

Yellow Mustang Registry

Shrader Performance was originally established over a decade ago by Steve Shrader as the foundation behind the Yellow Mustang Registry ( also known as YMR), a Mustang club dedicated to yellow Ford Mustangs that grew to over 7000 members worldwide. We handed over the YMR to new owners in 2006 so that we could concentrate on our engine business, but are still very involved with the club that still runs strong.

You may have seen our yellow E85-fueled Mustang in action on Speed TV’s PASS TIME and PINKS ALL OUT shows, We’ve also been on multiple magazine cover features in recent years and are always working on getting more exposure for our shop and our customers. We like building vehicles that are different, so if you have a strange project you want us to handle, we are up to the task.

E85 ETHANOL

We are also heavy promoters of E85 ethanol fuel. We have done a great deal of testing on our project vehicles as well as customer cars. E85 gives the advantages of race fuel, without the added cost and inconvenience. Read more on our dedicated site at www.e85mustangs.com
