What are people saying about DMPE?

Owner of Stroud Safety

The quality of the parts we get from Darren are second to none. His new hat design is phenomenal. In visibility alone it was worth getting. Our carbon hat was like trying to look around a billboard from inside the car.

Multi Time Pro Mod World Champion

Quality is something I want; honesty is what I expect.  With DMPE, you get both!  Darren and his entire staff are the best in the business and work tirelessly to honor both.  That’s what it takes to make a team like mine…Champions!      

Owner of Sullivan Equipment & Wild Irish Engines

I have known Darren for many years, he is a great friend, mentor and a blower guy. He has always been a big part of my racing.

DMPE is second to none with his products. His team has grown many directions with new talent.

Thank you for your support.

Darren and the whole staff @ DMPE have set the standard in customer service & support. Their R&D and service after the sale are what keeps us running up front and coming back. No smoke and mirrors, just plan old HP.

I have been part of the DMPE family for over 20 years. As a racer, one thing that I have seen time and time again from Darren is he makes it a point to do what he said he will do. That's very rare in life, let alone the racing industry. Darren is fortunate to have a very talented group of people working at  DMPE making his ideas come to life.

Darren Mayer personally reached out to me as a part time Top Fuel team over 10 years ago and offered to take my Supercharger program to the next level . DMPE has been a huge part of SPR and has taken the performance of the team to a level where we are a competitive team . We ran the full NHRA season in 2017-18 and got in the top 10 both years . None of that happens without Darren and DMPE .

“Darren and the DMPE crew have kept Bacon Bits Racing at the absolute front of blower technology for the last 10 years. It’s not just the parts—it’s the service. Any question, any issue, they’re on it fast and right the first time. That’s why we’ve never gone anywhere else.”

Darren and I go back to the early days of Pro Mod. He was crew chief on a very competitive car. Also, he was always curious of my BDS Blue Supercharger. I was lucky enough to learn how important the blower was on a Blower Motor by K.S. Pittman in the early 1960's Gasser Wars match racing.

Darren would work on the blower he was running in Pro Mod and then bring it to my shop and we would test it on our engine dyno. After several trys, he came up with a blower as good as Big Blue or Better.

"I think Darren is one of The Best Supercharger Engineers in the country". 

If you run a Supercharger or Screw Compressor, Darren will eventually make your program better.

Also, who doesn't enjoy "Mondays with Mom".

Thank you Darren for all you do for us.

Darren is a high character guy with strong desire to win! His knowledge of superchargers for all applications is second to none. He has always been a great friend on and off of the race track.

Crew Chief Rick Ware Racing

In the ultra-competitive world of Top Fuel and Funny Car racing, having the most consistent and high-performing supercharger on your 12,000-horsepower nitro-burning engine is one of the most critical keys to success. As a Crew Chief, I’m always searching for that extra edge because in our sport, races are often decided by thousandths of a second.

When I started working with Darren Mayer at DMPE, I quickly realized we weren’t just buying a supercharger — we were joining a family. Darren and his team genuinely care about the products they sell and the people they work with. While superchargers are our main purchases at Rick Ware Racing, I can call Darren anytime with questions about any aspect of an engine.

His knowledge and expertise go far beyond superchargers. No matter what type of drag racing you compete in, having Darren Mayer and the DMPE team in your corner will lead to better performance on the track — and ultimately, more time in the Winner’s Circle.

Owner A/B Motorsports and 4x World Champion

AB Motorsports relies on Darren Mayer Performance Engineering (DMPE) when everything has to perform at its highest level, every single run. When consistency matters most, the Michigan-based company continues to set the standard.

“My life has become much easier in the blower department since we switched blowers to Darren Mayer Performance,” said Brian Corradi, crew chief of the Matco Tools Top Fuel dragster. “I can’t say enough about the quality, and the repeatability - blower to blower, it’s the same, no questions asked. We need it; he gets it done.”

“Darren Mayer is always a phone call away, and he responds to us right away,” said Antron Brown, four-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion and owner of AB Motorsports.

“The customer service equals the results, and we trust him with everything in our arsenal. Without him, we wouldn’t be where we are, we wouldn’t be able to win the races we have, and we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish the championship we did in 2024.

Thank you, DPME, for what you’ve done for us. It’s more than just a part; it’s a relationship, and they treat us like family. Thank you, Darren.”

NHRA Crew Chief

I have been using DMPE superchargers and components for over 18 years. Darren’s quality is unmatched, he’s been a great resource for prototypes and development. The fact that he is a racer himself really adds value. The parts that come out of the DMPE shop are always perfect and  delivered on time. I wouldn’t want to race without his parts and support.

DMPE is a key asset to our racing program, bringing deep experience and insight from the racing industry. Their technical knowledge, work ethic, and ability to perform under pressure consistently elevate the team’s results. Their passion for racing, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence push everyone around them to be better. Beyond their professional value, Darren is also one of my closest friends—someone I trust completely and rely on both on and off the track. That combination of expertise, loyalty, and passion for racing makes them truly invaluable to our program.
