A performance car is a special and very personal vehicle. We understand that. That’s why we have won best of show for our installations. We began in Costa Mesa in 2000, installing over 100 motors for Superformance customers, including Lance (the owner’s) personal Coupe and #5 Race Car. We also installed the first Roush 427 motors (001 and 002). Our new facility is dedicated for our performance installation
I was born and raised in Orange County, CA. I have over 40 years in the automotive industry. My first car was a 1967 VW Bug. In high school I took automotive and found working on cars came natural to me. My first job was at a German Automotive Repair Facility where I learned the art of German Engineering. I decided to continue my education and became a licensed smog, brake and lamp technician. This led me to seek more education in wiring and diagnostics.
In 1992, I was hired by a Cadillac dealership in Chico, CA. The dealership sent me to GM trainings and I was certified in AC, electrical repairs, and diagnostics.
Upon returning to Orange County in 1997, I worked for an independent repair shop and was the crew chief for a Grand American Alcohol Car and Speed Truck race team.
In 1999, I opened a Range Rover and Jaguar shop in Newport Beach, CA. This shop was next door to Hillbank Motorsports where I met Lance Stander, current owner of Superformance. I started building award winning custom installations for cobras. Originally, I built the engine from a 351W long block. I then collaborated with Roush Performance and helped design the crate engine program for the Superformance car lines.
In 2006, I sold the Range Rover business and moved my shop to Fullerton to focus entirely on custom high performance vehicle modifications, upgrades and installations. I have built hundreds of Superformance vehicles (Cobras, Coupes and GT40s). I have built thousands of vehicles throughout my career.
In 2019, I worked on “Overhaulin’ with Chip Foose” season 10.
In 2021, I worked for Netflix’s “Car Masters: Rust to Riches” season 4 as the supervising producer.
Currently, my shop is in Placentia, CA where I am a Superformance Installation Specialist.
s. We assemble every powerplant with the finest quality components and expert know-how. Every detail is checked and inspected down to the final Test Drive. While each engine manufacturer has its own warranty, we also guarantee our work. Best of all, we are a private, custom shop, where every customer’s vehicle is treated with great care. So all you have to do is choose your engine and we’ll do the rest.
Since then, we have become a major installer and fitter of custom and after-market high performance products on Rods, Muscle Cars, Classics and other High Performance Vehicles, such as Shelbys, Panteras, and GT40’s.
