Coy Miller Race Engines, (CMRE) is dedicated to providing their customers with the highest quality competition machine shop service and precision engine preparation. Originally established in 1987, CMRE has and will continue to provide cutting-edge technology to the performance oriented customer. CMRE achieves this objective by combining excellence in automotive craftsmanship with state of the art machine shop equipment, and one of the most advanced research & development programs in the engine building industry. CMRE is a small company by today's standards of mega giant companies that have grown out of the automotive after market, and we feel that this is what makes us far superior. We stay focused on not only engine building but with quality control.

The shop itself is not your fancy modern NASCAR type building, but was once Coy's grandfather's chicken barn that has been remodeled. Spike the guard dog roams freely through the shop area letting visitors know that he too has an important job to do. There is a new addition that has been added on in the last year, that is off limits to Spike. This contains the engine assembly room and dynamometer cell. Don't let this barn type building fool you, the equipment inside is what you would find in a modern NASCAR type engine shop. The shop is supported by milling machines, a lathe, boring machine, honing machine. rod resizing machine. sophisticated computer equipped engine balancer, a new Winona CMC 30 cylinder head machining center, a computerized SuperFlow 600 flowbench. and one of the most advanced engine dynamometer systems in the industry, plus all of the other equipment you would find in a competition engine shop.

Coy Miller is one of the hardest working men in the engine building business. The average work week for Coy is 80 hours, sometimes more. Coy doesn't have time for hobbies such as golf or fishing. Coy's main hobby is racing, but outside of the race world he enjoys hunting, However, in the past five years he has put hunting aside due to the demand of his race engine business. Coy's personal race car has also sat idle for the past two seasons, due to the expansion of t he business. As Coy put it, "It got to the point were we had to have the dyno and R&D program to move our engine program to the next level. and if it meant giving up my personal racing for a while then that would be a sacrifice I would have to make." One might say Coy eats sleeps and drinks race engines. Although he has had no formal engine building education, he has spent his entire adult life pursuing the perfection of the internal combustion engine, and his engines show it! Coy spends most of his "free" time reading trade publications, text papers, and various books pertaining to engine theory. There is a 900 plus page copy of the book, Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals, with very well worn pages, that he keeps on his desk for reference. He also tries to attend all of the trade seminars that his schedule will allow him to. Coy has very little patience for the (B.S.) type engine building and theory. To those that personally know Coy he is what one would classify as the serious type. Coy himself will be the first to tell you that he doesn't know it all, and even if he did he couldn't remember it all. If he doesn't have the answer he will tell you he doesn't know; however, he will then try to find the answer. Coy's engine practice is through "science not science fiction". Coy is currently in me process of fine tuning his new computer aided engine design program which will give him yet another tool to perfect his engines, and also save many hours of research and development time versus trying to find things out through trial and error. All CMRE engines are designed, honed, assembled, and dvnoed by Coy himself, and most of the cylinder head work is also performed personally by Coy because he feels that these procedures are critical to precision engine performance. These are some of the reasons why a smaller operation like Coy can deliver a better end product. Each engine is custom built one at a time.
