Summary

This week I have the honor of interviewing Branden Leeb and Mike Carnahan of Elite Tuned and Elite Tuning School to explain the process of remotely - and iteratively - tuning fuel injected engines. Their specialty is GM Gen III, IV, and V engines and they recently they have added in both MOPAR and Ford tuning capability as well. Recently I had Elite tune my Chevelle when Zip Simons at Street Metal Concepts told me he used their services often. Man...was he ever right! In my case, they gave better results than I had received from two different shops that ran the car on a dyno. I was amazed at the compete difference in drivability and power delivery after the process was complete and I had to get an interview to find out the secret sauce that made such a difference.

0:00.0	The Muscle Car Place Online Podcast, episode number 511. This week, Mike Carnahan and Brandon Leeb from Elite Tune join us to talk about engine tuning services for fuel injection systems through the mail. Through the email, more specifically, they specialize in tuning services for GM, MOPAR, and 4DFI systems. They even have a new school that teaches their techniques for GM product lines.
0:24.2	They tuned my Chevelle for me, and they added a significant amount of driveability,
0:28.9	and it's clearly making a little more power too.
0:31.1	They did it using remote data logging.
0:33.0	I've had this car tuned at two other shops in person on dynos and never got these results.
0:38.3	So for all of you out there in the same boat, I hope this helps.
0:41.3	And yes, I did ask about the aftermarket stuff too.
0:43.3	Just because you can tune GM really well, you're going to be lost in a Ford.
0:47.3	Or if you can do a Ford really well, you're going to be lost in a GM or Dodge.
0:51.3	I mean, every one of these manufacturers has a completely different
0:55.7	strategy than the other. This is the Muscle Car Place online podcast, brought you by National
1:06.4	Parts Depot. This is the weekly show dedicated to people worldwide who love American
1:12.7	muscle cars. If you're buying, selling, restoring, even racing them, this is the place for you.
1:20.4	Now here's your host, Rob Kibby. Yes indeed I am Rob Kibby and welcome to the Muscle Car Place
1:27.1	podcast. Well, here we are. We're now at the
1:29.5	tail end of July. The summer, it's already coming to a close. We just have a few weeks left here
1:36.2	and I before everybody's back in school. And even though I'm 47 years old, I still run on the
1:41.6	school schedule. Probably always well. Well, this just happens to be a
1:45.6	five Friday month. And since we only do three shows a month, I was off last week, back this week,
1:51.1	and I'll be off again next week, because I'm making the most of my summer. Mike and Brandon from
1:56.5	Elite Tuning are our guests today. These are the guys that did the driveability tuning for my Chevelle, and I didn't find
2:04.6	them. Zip Simons at Street Metal Concepts did. He's the one that introduced me to them.
