My actual life started in 1986 along with my love for cars trucks boats etc thanks to my Pops! My racecar and performance custom life started in 2012 when I could finally afford to get my feet wet! My YouTube social media riff raff started in 2020!

When I could finally afford to go racing around 2012 it was just enough money to go bracket racing while trying not to ever break any parts! Thanks to my Dad and tons of great family and friends and racers in the Northeast United States and their collective experience I hit the ground running in multiple bracket classes! I also hit the ground running in the drivetrain department with the LS based 6.0L motor along with first a 4L80e trans and currently a th400 all from different junk yards and various ads on craigslist and all that! The car itself a 1993 Formula Firebird originally t56 car cost me $300 just had to yank it out this field in central Jersey. First full pass was 12.70@108.... that was with just a tune from the great Race Proven Motorsports long tubes some other odds and ends parts to simply make it safe and a custom wire harness from Current Performance. With tons of seat time and racing/driving on the street plus a swap to a th400 and Moser 12 bolt rear from the great Ron Rhodes I got that car down to 11.88@113!! Since the drivetrain of this car is basically equal to a 3/4 ton landscape truck and the performance tune was done spot on one time by a professional the rest was assembled by me with parts provided by some of the best shops around naturally I was able to drive the wheels off the car for years on a budget just changing the oil and keeping the tank full of 93!!! Maybe a couple air filters and a set of plugs along the way!!
Rest is history....
My family and I are missing one family member these days to enjoy this with us ...my beliefs however say they didn't miss a second of any of this possibly even contributed! With that aside my living family and I had a blast racing that Pontiac for years and we really never missed too many race seasons or many races period!!! Thats thanks in part to the performance and reliability of the Chevrolet LS motor as well as the brand overall.... mixed with my Pops getting my family and I to become Chevy freaks from day one!!
This last year or so I spent building a very quick and very reliable 1985 Monte Carlo SS!! This car is setup just like my Firebird with touches added along the way from close friends and family throughout the build including my cousin Mike and good freind Charles.... I must mention before all of this my good friend Gunner aka the previous owner assembled this car originally with some of the best parts imaginable including an LSA Supercharged LY6 6.0L that didn't survive and sort of caused me to end up with the car as a roller !! A roller she was and easily the best starting point I've ever been presented. I have just recently "finished" this Monte Carlo project and one of my goals for it would be to unload it and make as much money as possible to build more cars and trucks and expand my business potential possibly have some better raffles! Please check out the home page of this site as well as my YouTube and Social Media for pics and or info on the car!!! Another goal of mine was to learn everything possible about building my own custom wiring throughout the entire car as well as learning as much as I can about tuning the 6.0 motor and 4L80e trans! I cannot take all of the tuning credit for the Monte Carlo ....the tune in the Firebird has an amazing 4L80e tune so I built my tune based off of that and tuned the engine from scratch based on the cam I installed as well as the Nitrous installed! I feel like I knocked it out the park!!!
I'd like for you to decide and I'd like your feedback!!! @ChevyNewt396 @ChevyNewt (302)893-3854 
Unfortunately I had to "barrow" parts from my Firebird to build the Monte..... present day the Bird just sits in my backyard under a car cover missing parts bird pooped on it my dog Bo pees on it etc etc....
One day soon I'll get her back out there!!
Thank you for any and all support!
