Re:high performance engine building schools
 

I start at UTI in Phoenix on the 30th, they also have campuses in cali, illinois, texas, Everything on the east coast is specialty schools like nascar academy and jaguar, porche is in Georgia. Check out their website

My friend goes there, there is a hot girl that goes there too and she drives a nice supra

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

Which is the best reason to go to school there, right? :P


Not everything on the east is specialty schools.. there's quite a few that are in collision, engine rebuilding, etc..

They do have a campus in Blairsville, PA. But if you wanted to go into the high performance field, you would have to take there auto mechicanics (sp?) then take an add on class of high performance. the person who talked to me said the auto mech. class is a complete over view of everything automotive, from brakes, to HVAC, to electrical. everything. nothing specialized though, they give you a basic overview of everything. then you could take an add-on class of the high performance. they have a 98% placement rating right now, which bacially means, if you graduate and cant find a job, you dont want a job.

I also looked at UTI in Ohio, they have a 100% high performance school, but the placement rating is only like 60-something percent. Not a big demand for only performance minded mech.

something to think about...

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

you get free dyno time @ UTI and free track days

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

wheres uti at in ohio

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

Actually theres not a campus in Ohio the nearest one would be Illinois. I'm just hoping that UTI won't suck I mean ---- school everyday and ----! oh well atleast i'll be done in less than 2 years. And yeah free dyno time, track day, use of equipment on weekends and major companies are always there hiring new people and $1500 dollars worth of snap-on tools at a discount baby!

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

You get all your parts @ dealer costs too

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

Wasn't it called AEBS?

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

im taking engines 101, preformance engine building, and race chassis fabrication this year at comunity college as electives and its no where neer 22k and theres a dyno and everything you can use for your car.

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

---- UTI I'm not about to pay $20-30K for the same certificate I can get at my local Community college for $11 a unit.

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

---- school. Find a good shop, and get a job there.

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

here are there locations...
http://www.uti-auto-tech.com/locations.asp

and I think anywhere you go you can get tools at dealer cost. I know at WYO TECH, you are givin a snap-on starter set upon graduation, worth like 4grand, so bacially a few screw drivers, wrenches, and a tool box. but then you can spend up to $10,000 more dollars at dealer cost to buy more tools. and wyo tech also has dyno days and track days.

if you choose a school from the discounts and track and dyno days, you are a ------ idiot. ::)

see the thing I looked at was I didnt wanna be specialized in one area. i didnt wanna just train for ford, or GM, or Chrysler, because then your limited. I think that is something alot of people should look at.

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

Yeah man obviously anyone who goes to school for tools and track days is a ------- idiot i was just mentioning a few bonuses that came with going to UTI thats all. I also looked into the community college route but it just didn't seem as good :P

Re:high performance engine building schools
 

Penn Tech, Williamsport PA

Re:high performance engine building schools

Re:high performance engine building schools
