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. From his page: Mitch is an engine and transmission calibrator with over 15 years of hands on experience. Mitch has contributed calibrations to multiple high caliber, championship winning teams over a wide variety of racing disciplines, including road racing, drag racing, hill climbs, rally racing, and drifting. As a reverse engineer, Mitch was the lead on a project that was responsib

When it comes to car adventures, Ed Bolian has had a lot of them. He is one of the hosts of the hugely popular "Car Trek" YouTube series, as well as his own channel, VinWiki, where people tell incredible stories (some good, some bad) of their life with cars. He's also owned (and sold) a lot of exotic cars, ran a rental business, a dealership, co-created the VinWiki app, and is a former holder of the Cannonball record.  Recorded January 3, 2023** This show was recorded the morning after we learned of Ken Block's tragic snowmobile accident. We spent the first part of the show reflecting on what Ken meant to us and to the larger car community. He will be dearly missed. Head to factor75.com/tire60 and use code tire60 to get 60% off your first box. Tweet at us! https://www.Twitter.com/thesmokingtire https://www.Twitter.com/zackklapman Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/thesmokingtire https://www.Instagram.com/therealzackklapmanWant your question answered?

If you haven't heard of BBI, they make some of the fastest Porsches on Earth, from GT2s to Taycans and everything in between. They built the 1,400HP (!) engine for Ken Block's crazy PPIHC car -the Hoonipigasus- and were instrumental in the design, assembly, and management of that car. They've also built and managed racing and hill-climb programs for a number of other cars, including breaking Pikes Peak Time Attack record in 2019 by over 14 seconds. ⁠ On this show we talk about building cars with 4-digit power; why Porsche oil changes can take 3 hours; the pink pig; and more! Recorded December 20, 2022 Head to factor75.com/tire60 and use code tire60 to get 60% off your first box.Tweet at us! https://www.Twitter.com/thesmokingtire https://www.Twitter.com/zackklapman Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/thesmokingtire https://www.Instagram.com/therealzackklapmanWant your question answered?

Ever been pulled over and wish you had a lawyer with you? That dream is now a reality. Jazz Hampton is the CEO and co-founder of TurnSignl, an on-demand, real-time service that provides 24/7 legal guidance from an attorney to drivers while their camera records the interaction. When drivers are stopped by law enforcement officers or involved in a car accident, they can access live video chat with an attorney at the press of a button or voice command. TurnSignl attorneys are vetted and trained to de-escalate interactions between police, drivers, and passengers. No one likes getting pulled over but for some people, a misstep can turn into an unnecessary altercation or worse. Jazz's goal is to reduce the chances of that happening so that both citizen and officer feel safer.  https://www.turnsignl.com/Read more about it here: https://www.startribune.com/turnsignl-co-founder-jazz-hampton-knows-firsthand-what-its-like-to-be-a-statistic/600205263/Recorded November 11, 2022 Get 20% Off and Free Shipping at manscaped.c
