| We're not just about drag racing, if you've got a muscle car or street rod that needs a "NEW TUNE" , an all out "ENGINE REBUILD" or just want some "BOLT ON GOODIES" installed to make your Ford, GM, or Mopar "GO FASTER" than it ever has, -give us a call!
Get the Extra "EDGE" for the Street or Strip. Racing and building engines has been a part of GARY BOX's life ever since he was a teenager. As a junior at Westlake High School in 1970, at 16 years old, he built his first engine, a W30 400 ci motor; for his '66 442 Olds and it went 12.20's at the dragstrip. As the years went on, Gary became known for his string of '67 - 69 Camaros, all of which had big block motors, all of which were painted Black and all of which were "Bad to the Bone". During the 70's, while most hot rodders were still running their cars with the tires stuck out of the wheel wells, Box was one of the first in the Cleveland area to have a tubbed street car.
Cleveland Cavalier basketball star, Larry Nance first met GARY BOX in the spring of '89 and asked him to build a performance engine for his '67 Camaro street car. Gary set out to build a 509 ci motor out of 454 internal parts and bored out bowtie block, it now made enough horsepower to run in the 10's. Larry Nance liked going fast so much, he went on to campaign his "Catch 22" 200 mph ProMod Camaro.

Engine performance building is the art of utilizing every possible trick to make an engine build horsepower and do it more efficiently. Gary learned about the importance of air flow and head development at an early age from his father who worked at NASA. Today, GARY BOX is one of the few street performance engine builders who has a Flow bench at his shop, which he regularly uses to test cylinder heads for air flow. It's taught him - big is not necesarily better...... you can make a small block go just as fast as a big block.
 Box has applied that technology to his '65 (Black) Corvette, which combines lots of horsepower in a street legal car. It not only picked up the first Ohio's Fastest Street Car honors (2001) winning the race with a 8:19 ET/166 mph; this year he set both ends of the track record for the fastest ET/MPH with a scorching 8:074 and 171 mph.
Recently Gary has branched out to offer area hot rodders a chance to have their cars run better on the street. BOX PERFORMANCE is not just about drag racing engines .... it's about installing bolt on performance parts for any application whether it be a 5.0 Mustang, a Deuce coupe or Mighty Mopar. Don't think you've got to be a drag racer to benefit from Gary's experience. He understands fully, about starting with the very basics. If a hot rodder wants to upgrade from a stock motor to something as simple as installing a mild cam, manifold, carb and headers, he'll modify and install performance equipment in your car that will give you the look and sound of a performance car without having to spend a fortune.
