The Smoking Tire Podcast
Saving McLarens; Hacking ECUs; Tuning the Right Way
When it comes to engine tuning, Mitch McKee knows it. He spent years working for Vivid racing and COBB before opening his own company, M Engineering. They write software (and some hardware) upgrades for high-dollar exotics like McLaren, Porsche, and Lamborghini. As you'll learn from the show, they don't do simple reflash or throttle maps, either. They're so good, in fact, that OEMs hire them to prevent cheating in racing team ECUs.
We talk about Mitch's unorthodox start; why his approach is different; the challenge that is tuning a modern ECU; OEM security; why McLarens explode; why he doesn't tune Ferraris; Pikes Peak; and more.
