Ever wondered how a passion for muscle cars and a deft hand with computers can rev up a career in performance tuning? This week, we buckle up for a thrilling ride with Alex Pitez of Peitz Performance Tunes, who shares his transition from a '98 Mustang GT enthusiast to a maestro of engine optimization. Alex's narrative isn't just a tale of automotive love; it's a deep dive into the critical role discipline and technology play in shaping a successful tuning business. As we navigate his journey, Alex also gives us a rare peek behind the curtain of his early days in the Army, merging his interests in cars and computers, and the adrenaline-fueled test drives on Iowa's open roads that honed his skills.

Hold tight as we switch gears in the second segment, where the conversation accelerates into the technical twists of engine tuning. We take a pit-stop at Alex's career milestones, including his time at Saleen and his stint as a lead instructor at a Florida tuning school, before he drives home the dream of opening his own shop. Listen closely as we tackle the intricacies of handling the powerful Coyote and LS1 engines, discussing the fine balance between boosting performance and maintaining engine integrity. Whether you're a petrolhead or just curious about the mechanics of speed, this episode promises a high-octane blend of personal stories and expert insight to fuel your fascination.
