About Fair Valley Performance:
Fair Valley Performance (FVP)was established in 2001 marketing and selling data acquisition systems to the pulling industry. Dennis Frey had been working in the diesel fuel injection industry since 1991, and in 2007, founded and started the diesel fuel injection and turbocharger side of FVP, building and servicing diesel fuel injection pumps, injection lines, injectors, and turbochargers. Although no longer involved with the data acquisition business, much emphasis has gone into offering fuel supply and water injection systems as well. To enhance the fuel and air side of the business, in 2021, FVP acquired the Columbus Diesel Motorsports division which included the parts inventory, tooling, and test equipment. Also in 2021, FVP acquired Midwest Machining which included CNC and EDM machining equipment along with the owner’s expertise. Since then, FVP continues to emphasize more on and grow the pulling diesel performance side of the business, now servicing the pulling industry throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. Dennis, Jenny, and Ridge Frey, along with the rest of the FVP team, look forward to growing with and servicing the diesel pulling industry.
