About G-Force

G-Force Engineering Development unofficially started in 1989 after Mike Norman had to leave racing with a back injury. His skills as a motorcycle race mechanic and engineer quickly gained him fame as he upgraded a CBR600F-1 from 61 hp to 90 hp.

In 1999, G-Force opened its first Performance Center in San Jose, CA. However, only four years later, the Performance Center closed after the dot-com crash. Mike worked for several high-profile motor vehicle companies over the years before finally reopening G-Force as G-Force Engineering in Rancho Cordova.

G-Force Engineering has built high-horsepower engines that have won over 40 awards since 1994. Mike and his team take pride in getting every ounce of performance out of an engine they can, not just as engineers, but as racers and racing fans.
