About Tampa Marine Tuning

Tampa Marine Tuning was founded by two industry experts with a passion for boating and fishing. With over 20 years of combined experience in the automotive aftermarket tuning industry, Brett and Jesse have honed their expertise in tuning a variety of vehicles, from streetcars to dragsters, and now outboard engines.

Brett McClelland, the Co-Founder and President, has an impressive track record as the lead instructor of the Tuning School and has been recognized for his outstanding work with SEMA's 30 under 30 program. In addition, he has founded several successful enterprises, including McClelland Performance & Design, which provides aftermarket tuning solutions and build consulting for modified street and racing cars. He currently holds the world record quarter mile time for stock block 6th gen Silverado.

Jesse, the CFO, brings a wealth of knowledge in financial consulting and business development, having worked in investment banking for many years, as well as a background in software development and data systems related to aftermarket automotive performance. He holds a degree in finance from the University of Central Florida and has years of experience in the performance aftermarket automotive industry.

As lifelong residents of Tampa, Brett and Jesse have a deep love for recreational boating and fishing. Their passion for the water led them to partner with Nizpro, a company known for its rigorous testing and superior brand, to bring safe and reliable increases in horsepower and fuel efficiency to their home state and beyond. Tampa Marine Tuning offers direct service and a Remote Tuning Program to reach customers nationwide and is the second largest Nizpro Dealer by volume in the world.
Nizpro as the name suggests was established in the late 1980’s to service the performance requirements of the Nissan car owner, with a specific orientation towards turbocharging.
From humble beginnings the company quickly grew necessitating several moves before purchasing a sizeable facility situated in the outer eastern Melbourne suburb of Bayswater.
Prior to this last move, company owner Simon Gishus embarked on a lengthy planning exercise while adopting the policy that he would only invest in the highest quality equipment. To this end, major renovations took place including the design and development of the company’s own in-house engine dynamometer system. This incredibly sophisticated dynamometer incorporates a soundproof control room and a soundproof engine room all serviced by a massive 75,000-litre recycled water supply system.
A chassis dynamometer was also installed along with an engine ‘clean’ room, large mezzanine storage facility, and two-story office complex.
A desire to keep boundaries of engine performance has seen the Nizpro team involved with all facets of high performance engines from race car preparation, the building of various race vehicles, along with engine development for AUSCAR, V8 Supercar, Nations Cup, GT Performance, Ski Boat and various other categories.
