About CalculatorGarage

CalculatorGarage is an automotive engineering resource built for enthusiasts, racers, builders, and everyday drivers who want accurate numbers — not guesswork. Founded by a lifelong racer and Ford performance builder, the platform combines real-world mechanical experience with structured, engineering-based calculator development.

The Foundation

CalculatorGarage was founded by a lifelong automotive enthusiast who started racing go-karts at 13 years old before moving into dirt track cruiser class stock cars. The first race car was a 1981 Ford LTD, followed by multiple Ford Thunderbirds — including an 80 model that rolled over on track. Restrictor plate racing, open tuning setups, different tracks, and drivetrain adjustments were part of the learning process.

Over the years:

• Multiple first-place finishes
• Three demolition derbies
• Dirt track 4-cylinder racing (Dodge Neon)
• Street builds and bracket racing
• Full Mustang restorations and modifications
• Ford 9-inch rear-end gear swaps performed countless times
• Deep hands-on experience with T5 transmissions, drivetrains, and suspension setups

Vehicles built, restored, or modified include:

• 1984 Mustang GT (built with his father)
• 1986 Mustang GT (modified)
• 2003 Mustang Mach 1 (modified & shown)
• 1965 Mustang Coupe (full restoration)
• 1969 Mach 1 & 1970 Fastback restorations
• 88 Fox Body nitrous car
• 87 Ford Ranger 302 V8 swap
• 93 F150 mud build
• 84 Monte Carlo SS
• 79 Chevy street build

Raised in a garage — not a sandbox — mechanical fundamentals were learned through fabrication, tuning, restoration, drivetrain setup, suspension geometry adjustments, and real-world failure analysis.

The Evolution

CalculatorGarage represents what happens when a lifelong car builder learns to engineer with code.

The founding developer is self-taught in programming and web development, currently pursuing computer science education and recently recognized on the Dean’s List. With a welding certification and a deep mechanical background, the platform blends fabrication knowledge with structured computational logic.

This isn’t theoretical content. It’s mechanical systems translated into usable math.

From drivetrain ratios to brake wear modeling, from fuel range estimations to vehicle-specific performance calculations — each tool is built using documented formulas, validated inputs, defined unit structures, and real-world operating assumptions.

CalculatorGarage is expanding into a structured automotive engineering resource — not just a calculator collection. Every tool is built with transparency, defensible methodology, and clear documentation standards.

Racing & Performance

Dirt track stock cars, restrictor plate racing, street builds, drivetrain tuning, gear ratio setup, suspension and braking experience across multiple vehicle platforms.

Restoration & Fabrication

Full Mustang restorations, drivetrain swaps, welding certification, structural repair, and hands-on mechanical rebuilding experience.

Engineering & Development

Automotive calculations structured using documented formulas, controlled input variables, defined unit conversions, boundary validation, edge-case modeling, and transparent methodology. Every calculator is built with performance, clarity, and computational integrity in mind.

Our Mission

CalculatorGarage exists to make structured automotive knowledge accessible.

We believe performance math, towing calculations, gear ratios, maintenance modeling, cost estimations, and vehicle-specific calculations should not be locked behind industry barriers. Our tools are built to be transparent, defensible, and rooted in real-world mechanical understanding.

We are building the largest structured automotive calculator platform online — not through volume alone, but through depth, accuracy, validation, and vehicle-specific precision.

Knowledge should be free.
Engineering should be transparent.
Automotive decisions should be data-driven.

Built in the Garage. Engineered for the Real World.

CalculatorGarage is built on decades of mechanical experience — from dirt track racing to full restorations — combined with modern software development and structured engineering principles.

This is where hands-on experience meets computational precision.
