Mitch McKee - Tuning Master on Power, Safety, Hybrids, Hackers, Drug Dealers
Mitch McKee knows everything about tuning engines. McLarens, Porsche, Ferraris, GT-Rs, you name it, he can make them go faster and run better. Porsche hired Mitch to do the development tuning on the new 911 Hybrid. On this episode Mitch explains when to run race gas to protect your engine; how tuning hybrids might work; the weirdest jobs he's had; why he only works on land-based vehicles; the surprising truth about Porsche GT3s; how a cybersecurity law effects tuners like him; and more! Recorded
July 15, 2024
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 build hardware) upgrades for high-dollar exotics like McLaren, Porsche, and Lamborghini. As you'll learn from the show, they don't do simple reflashes or throttle maps, either. They're so good, OEMs hire them to prevent cheating in racing team ECUs.

Customer Reviews
Great show
Could anything be more enjoyable? thanks guys
Do NOT listen if you don’t align perfectly with Matt’s beliefs
In Matt’s own words you are a “right wing, religious freak” if you have any conservative beliefs and/or believe in God. He really showed his true colors there, had no idea he was so incredibly intolerant of different beliefs. Good thing there are plenty of other car podcasts to listen to.
Fantastic show
I really enjoy your guest selections and the diversity they bring to the show.
Matt, sometimes you are just way too smug to listeners and their questions. Not everyone has been here since the beginning. It’s a little cringe and sad sometimes.
