About Us
HTR Performance Engineering is the next frontier in my performance endeavors. The last 32 years I have been the owner and operator of National recognized Redline Motorsports where we specialized in full-service GM Late Model Performance builds. My focus now is solely dedicated to engine development and engine management calibrations.
My performance upbringing started almost 38 years ago when GM got away from the carburetor and began to incorporate electronic management controls into vehicles. This was back in the days of the Camaro IROC-Z which first started to use port fuel injected controls. Since that time, I have not stopped having my hands into the evolution of engine management control systems which today have led into such advanced platforms as the as the C8 Z06 Corvette which is at GM’s leading edge.
Engine Development has also been a multi-decade addiction fed by the results from finite details needed to build powerful and reliable power plants. Being involved with the intimate details of engine blueprinting and power development has also been a big asset on the calibrations side of my career. Experience in engine physics, chemistry and calibration knowledge is a winning combination.
My time in the performance industry has provided many great opportunities to advance my career. Relationships within GM, numerous racing events and having great customers all around the world have further solidified this path. I have also been fortunate to be surrounded by some of the best manufacturers and suppliers in the industry.
My recent integration with well-known Vengeance Racing is my focus point forging forward. The combination of this collective experience and passion will prove to get customers on the winning team!

With the technology of Direct Injected engines well ingrained into our operations, since its introduction in 2014; we are now deep into the latest GM performance variant, the mid-engine C8 Corvette. The new level of electronic integration with these new platforms is our next frontier in keeping Redline always on the cutting edge of performance!
