Your Performance Tuner Has It All WRONG. Stop Building Cars This Way.

from Automotive ADHD · host Matt West

For YEARS tuning your performance car's ECU has been considered black magic and only understandable by a select few tuners who have unlocked its mystical secrets. That just isn't the case anymore. I talk with mechanic and tuner Brian Conrad about why so-called "Speed Shops" get it wrong. We also talk about the completely unrealistic build expectations people have for their project cars and how social media is ruining the car scene. Whether you enjoy wrenching on cars, optimizing performance, or just want to understand what’s going under the hood, this episode explains how your tune affects horsepower, efficiency, and daily drivability.Get your GPS tracker now and protect your car!
