He's a fun guy.
00:00:55.167 --> 00:00:55.930
Well, he's been busy.
00:00:55.930 --> 00:00:59.709
He's been out to Las Vegas to the National Association of Broadcasters Convention.
00:00:59.709 --> 00:01:01.093
That's always a busy time.
00:01:01.093 --> 00:01:06.091
I've been to that a couple of times and, wow, you've never seen so much electronic gear in all your life.
00:01:06.091 --> 00:01:07.524
He, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:07.625 --> 00:01:08.427
I wouldn't know what to do.
00:01:08.427 --> 00:01:10.468
You should take Mike with him, and Mike would get lost.
00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:12.006
Well, that's why he sent me a text.
00:01:12.006 --> 00:01:15.206
He said I need to go out there and bring two credit cards.
00:01:15.206 --> 00:01:28.825
Exactly you really should Of all the money that you're making off of this show.
00:01:28.825 --> 00:01:32.393
That's why I'm driving the corvette that I want exactly I saw that corvette, that white one.
00:01:32.474 --> 00:01:38.462
Yes, they had it locked up and they had a picture of you with a circle slash on it not to touch it.
00:01:38.462 --> 00:01:40.224
Yeah, yeah so.
00:01:41.105 --> 00:01:41.787
so we've got them.
00:01:41.787 --> 00:01:42.227
There's that?
00:01:42.227 --> 00:01:44.950

Of course it's Pites.
00:01:48.475 --> 00:01:50.426
Leave it to me to jack it up.
00:01:50.426 --> 00:01:55.430
Sorry, but I just figured that you know what the heck.
00:01:55.430 --> 00:01:57.724
I'll give it a shot.
00:01:57.724 --> 00:01:58.968
Then I didn't know.
00:01:58.968 --> 00:02:00.626
So it's Alex Pites Pites.
00:02:00.626 --> 00:02:01.629
Performance Tunes.
00:02:01.629 --> 00:02:05.150
Alex, how long have you been in business out there?
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.248
Just about 10 years for this company.
00:02:09.569 --> 00:02:09.850
Great.
00:02:09.850 --> 00:02:12.649
How in the world did you get into performance tuning?
00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:16.087
Well, that's quite the story there.
00:02:16.087 --> 00:02:21.831
I think I was about 15, maybe just turning 16.
00:02:21.831 --> 00:02:24.748
I had a 98 Mustang GT.
00:02:24.748 --> 00:02:29.723
That was my first V8 car that I owned.
00:02:29.723 --> 00:02:30.885
Prior to that, I had a couple uh dsms.
00:02:30.885 --> 00:02:32.509
I had a 3000 gt vr4.
00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:34.074
Uh, I had a.
00:02:34.074 --> 00:02:37.080
My first you know uh car was actually plymouth laser.
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:45.067
Um, if you're familiar with those, a 19 plymouth laser, yeah, um yeah, so I got a laser and yeah, it's like a little 1.8 liter.
00:02:45.086 --> 00:02:47.264
It wasn't super fun but, you know, got me into it.
00:02:47.264 --> 00:03:01.841
And then I uh got into the 3000 gt that I actually bought with paper out money, um, because I started my paper out back when I was like probably 12 or 13 how old I was and then uh bought the 3000 gt in kansas city with paper out money I think it was like 5500 bucks.
00:03:01.841 --> 00:03:02.442
I paid for it.
00:03:02.442 --> 00:03:04.564
That was vr4, twin turbo, all-wheel drive.
00:03:04.564 --> 00:03:06.908
That was the greatest thing in the world, uh.
00:03:06.908 --> 00:03:12.302
But then I realized that that thing was uh just a money pit, um.
00:03:12.302 --> 00:03:14.105
So I ended up selling it.
00:03:14.105 --> 00:03:19.881
And then I, you know, found v8s and I've never went back since uh.
00:03:19.881 --> 00:03:20.862
So I got the mustang.
00:03:20.862 --> 00:03:24.569
It actually came with a little Diablo handheld tuner.
00:03:24.569 --> 00:03:26.252
I'm sure you guys are probably familiar with those?
00:03:26.272 --> 00:03:27.115
Yes, exactly.
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:37.400
And the Diablo actually allowed me to add subtract timing, add subtract fuel, and so that's pretty cool and I can also do like basic data logging.
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:54.046
I really didn't have much of an idea of what I was doing but just through basic research and like literally I would go out in the middle of the night, um, I was in iowa, basically nothing but cornfields all around me and we go on two lane road and I would time myself okay, how fast did I go from this?
00:03:54.046 --> 00:03:54.306
You?
00:03:54.326 --> 00:04:02.260
know point a to point b, and then I'd make adjustments and time myself again and look at my mile per hour, and that was kind of my dino uh at the time.
00:04:02.260 --> 00:04:05.431
And then, uh, I just kind of took it from there.
00:04:05.431 --> 00:04:07.888
But I ended up joining the military.
00:04:07.888 --> 00:04:10.639
So I was in the Army from the age of 17 to 20.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.091
And you were hot-rodding Jeeps in the Army, yeah.
00:04:15.221 --> 00:04:23.208
Well, we were more strikers and Humvees, gotcha, okay, yep, so, yeah, so I was in the Army for about six years.
00:04:23.208 --> 00:04:25.247
While I was in I did a lot of research.
00:04:25.247 --> 00:04:26.762
I had different cars throughout the time.
00:04:26.762 --> 00:04:31.291
I had a, uh, oh, six gto, I had a, uh.
00:04:31.291 --> 00:04:33.482
I did have one more four-cylinder car.
00:04:33.482 --> 00:04:37.071
That was a srt4 uh, neon, that was pretty cool car.
00:04:37.071 --> 00:04:40.387
Yeah, it was a lot of fun, um, and I had just various other cars.
00:04:40.428 --> 00:04:46.463
I've helped buddies out and then when I was deployed I would just do nothing but research, tuning, all.
00:04:46.463 --> 00:05:00.487
Just whenever I was not on missions or writing reports, I was just researching, tuning, collecting whatever information I could, because I knew I wanted to do something with cars and computers and keep going on that path after I got out um.
00:05:00.487 --> 00:05:01.288
So after I got out Um.
00:05:01.288 --> 00:05:13.194
So after I got out, finished college and uh actually started my first shop back in Iowa and I had that shop for a decent amount, maybe just a little over a year or so, um.
00:05:13.194 --> 00:05:17.709
And then I ended up going to a tech school down down here in Houston.
00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:26.093
Um went to that tech school, linked up with another shop here in in uh, just outside of Houston, and they needed a dyno.
00:05:26.093 --> 00:05:26.862
They needed a tuner.
00:05:26.862 --> 00:05:28.406
So I actually moved.
00:05:28.668 --> 00:05:33.362
After school finished up, I moved my dyno down here to a shop here.
00:05:33.884 --> 00:05:38.221
But I was actually already interviewing for a position out in California, uh, with LSX TV.
00:05:38.221 --> 00:05:40.545
So they wanted an editor, but they also wanted a tuner, like an in-house tuner, that was also going to be the editor.
00:05:40.545 --> 00:05:41.910
So I was, you know, uh, working on getting that editor.
00:05:41.910 --> 00:05:45.158
But they also wanted a tuner like an in-house tuner, that was also going to be the editor.
00:05:45.158 --> 00:05:52.593
So I was, you know, working on getting that job, but I was going to do remote tuning for the shop where I moved my dyno to for the time being.
00:05:52.593 --> 00:05:59.413
Well, right at the last minute they told me they couldn't give me the job because of administrative reasons or whatever it may have been.
00:05:59.413 --> 00:06:23.252
But at that point I already had my house sold, just got divorced actually, and my whole life was like in my this U-Haul big, you know whatever they are and I had my firehawk in the back side, the big U-Haul and I had a car show in the back with the firehawk and I was heading out to California one way or another, come hell or high water.
00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:29.072
I actually came through and picked up my buddy, who I met at tech school here.
00:06:29.072 --> 00:06:42.274
He was in Colorado Picked him up in Colorado and got out to California and then, right after that, I started looking for jobs and I went on Indeed actually and Celine was hiring for a calibration engineer.
00:06:42.274 --> 00:06:46.690
I applied and a week and a half later I was working with Selene.
00:06:46.690 --> 00:06:51.670
So yeah, I was with Selene for just like a little bit under a year.
00:06:52.110 --> 00:06:52.692
It was pretty cool.
00:06:52.692 --> 00:06:54.605
How was it working for Steve Selene?
00:06:56.129 --> 00:07:12.524
He's very intricate, he's very particular, but you know, that's good, those are good qualities to have, yeah, and somebody of his position, you know, and he really was proud of his road racing yeah, we've had him on the show getting my introduction to road racing.
00:07:12.524 --> 00:07:17.040
Uh, and you know the s7, you know the all success that thing had.
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:29.300
That was an amazing platform and you know every room at celine we had different names for different tracks that he'd won at in Le Mans, I believe.
00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:30.766
Well, not only Le Mans, but all the different.
00:07:32.502 --> 00:07:33.687
Road racing circuits yeah.
00:07:33.687 --> 00:07:35.725
Yeah, so that was pretty cool.
00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:42.870
But then, like he would come in and he would like point or count the number of chairs in each room and he'd say, hey, there's not the right amount of chairs in here.
00:07:42.870 --> 00:07:44.867
Somebody took a chair out here, put the chair.
00:07:44.867 --> 00:07:45.992
You know stuff like that.
00:07:46.473 --> 00:07:51.045
So, uh, you know it was pretty interesting needless to say so how did you wind up here?
00:07:52.107 --> 00:07:57.148
well, so while I was at selene I ended up, uh, I was still doing some tuning for that other shop.
00:07:57.148 --> 00:08:03.528
I started doing some other remote tuning in the meantime, like in the evening, and, uh, the shop that I had moved my dyno to.
00:08:03.889 --> 00:08:19.197
They said hey, you know, we kind of we need a full-time tuner and want to use you and I was like, yeah, that you know, the production tuning thing was kind of you know it was good but I wanted to do more custom tuning, I want to do more racing and I want to do some other aspects of you know the job, bigger things.
00:08:19.197 --> 00:08:27.427
So I left selene and went to work full-time for the company that was here in Houston, and so you know that was that.
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:28.824
And you just loved us so much.
00:08:28.824 --> 00:08:31.151
You said I'm going to pick up and move there.
00:08:31.899 --> 00:08:34.740
Yeah, well, this would be the second time I'd moved to Houston.
00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:39.772
I moved there for, you know, school and now I moved here for this job.
00:08:39.772 --> 00:08:41.745
But then it keeps going.
00:08:41.745 --> 00:08:44.386
After that I mean I'm going to take you too far, deep down my rabbit hole of my story.
00:08:44.386 --> 00:08:44.869
But then it keeps going.
00:08:44.869 --> 00:08:47.115
After that I mean I'm going to take you too far, deep, you know, deep down my rabbit hole, my story.
00:08:47.115 --> 00:08:54.943
But uh, you know, I'll kind of try to, you know, sum it up, I ended up leaving that place and then started doing a lot of freelance tuning in Houston.
00:08:55.605 --> 00:09:08.630
Uh, but in all that process of being at Celine and where I'd been, I met different people through HB tuners, because I was helping HB tuners with getting coyote, getting into the Coyote platform, because we had a lot of Coyote cars at Selene, right.
00:09:08.630 --> 00:09:19.894
And so in the process of doing that, they said, hey, the tuning school is hiring, they want somebody who can help them develop this book on tuning forwards using HB Tuners.
00:09:19.894 --> 00:09:21.866
And so I said, yeah, I can do that.
00:09:21.866 --> 00:09:27.673
And so I actually moved down to Florida and started working at the school and was their lead instructor.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:32.052
Bottom line is is that you followed your passion and wound up here with your own place.
00:09:32.052 --> 00:09:36.120
Yeah, exactly, well, congratulations, you know.
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:50.788
I don't know whether Morris told you or not, but somebody that you know turned us on to you, and that would be Mr Borcharding over at paint house yeah, that's, he did tell me about that yes and um, I, because I asked him.
00:09:50.847 --> 00:10:01.649
I said I need somebody that can help me with the tune on my 2001 ls1 corvette and he gave us your name.
00:10:01.649 --> 00:10:07.956
And and then Mars says, yeah, he doesn't do LS1s, but everything after that he does.
00:10:07.956 --> 00:10:12.048
So I'm thinking, pardon me, I do LS1s.
00:10:12.048 --> 00:10:13.312
Good, that's good to hear.
00:10:13.312 --> 00:10:17.320
And so I wanted to present you with this scenario.
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:29.225
Now, this is a stock LS1 with a K&N filter on it and it's got a Corsa cat-back exhaust system on it, six-speed manual transmission, but everything else is stock on it.
00:10:29.586 --> 00:10:31.961
And I've been doing some reading on some of these guys.
00:10:31.961 --> 00:10:46.994
You know, putting on blowers, putting on turbochargers and, from what I gather, when you start putting boost into them, you can crack cylinder walls and mainly, valve springs are not really set up for boost.
00:10:46.994 --> 00:11:00.910
And I'm thinking, well, I don't want to go that far, but I know that there's more potential in that engine without, you know, really hurting the engine or potentially hurting the engine, and thinking, well, maybe I need to get a hold of somebody and I couldn't find anybody.
00:11:00.910 --> 00:11:04.947
And Randy Borchening says call Alex.
00:11:04.947 --> 00:11:08.100
And I said, okay, well, so that's how we got you on the show.
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:09.643
Can you help me Sell it?
00:11:09.643 --> 00:11:10.705
Sell it?
00:11:10.705 --> 00:11:13.950
No, we're not selling the car.
00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:17.278
It's only got 33,000 miles on it.
00:11:17.841 --> 00:11:21.716
Wow, yeah, it sounds like a cream puff, yeah it is.
00:11:21.716 --> 00:11:23.535
That's kind of like my Firehawk.
00:11:23.535 --> 00:11:29.138
You know, that thing was, yeah, super low miles, very nice, it was LS Firehawk, not LT Firehawk.
00:11:29.138 --> 00:11:31.798
But yeah, no, it certainly can help you out with that.
00:11:31.798 --> 00:11:39.529
It.
00:11:39.529 --> 00:11:43.033
Just, you know, for a lot of my customers what I try to boil it down to basically is how much horsepower do you want to make and how much money do you want to throw at the project?
00:11:43.033 --> 00:11:43.510
Right, that's what it boils down to.
00:11:43.510 --> 00:11:45.495
I don't want to throw any money to the project.
00:11:46.597 --> 00:11:48.081
That's the bottom line there.
00:11:48.341 --> 00:11:54.638
But no, I mean, I can certainly understand spending some money doing it, but I don't want to-.
00:11:54.638 --> 00:12:00.184
You want to go exotic, yeah, and I don't want to put any aftermarket boost on it or anything like that.
00:12:00.184 --> 00:12:07.452
At least, I haven't talked to you.
00:12:07.452 --> 00:12:10.423
I'm talking to you now and I don't want to go crazy with it and I have a limited budget to begin with.
00:12:10.423 --> 00:12:11.466
So what, what do you think?
00:12:11.466 --> 00:12:11.606
Which?
00:12:11.606 --> 00:12:13.370
How would you advise me which way to go?
00:12:15.354 --> 00:12:19.759
Um, I would just start with, you know, optimizing what you got right.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:34.090
So, um, retuning the car with the uh intake system you have and the exhaust, and I mean just tuning them stock, uh, they were fairly, I wouldn't say detuned from the factory, but they weren't optimized that wide open throttle.
00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:42.211
The ls is actually one of those vehicles you can actually get some power out of being a naturally aspirated V8 and just tuning the vehicle so typically.
00:12:42.250 --> 00:12:54.619
I want to say we see about 20 horsepower gains from tuning it, especially with, you know, having some kind of an intake system on it and exhaust, which is helpful in those cars, and also, you know, tuning the car.
00:12:54.619 --> 00:13:03.394
So that's where I would start, you know, and just also, you could just even start with the baseline on the dyno, see where you're at and then say, okay, what's my air fuel ratio right now?
00:13:03.394 --> 00:13:04.436
What's you know, what's timing?
00:13:04.436 --> 00:13:05.096
Do I have any knock?
00:13:05.096 --> 00:13:06.456
Is the car running correctly?
00:13:06.456 --> 00:13:07.136
You know?
00:13:07.136 --> 00:13:07.537
Is it?
00:13:07.537 --> 00:13:07.898
Okay?
00:13:07.898 --> 00:13:09.418
Great, then you've got a good baseline.
00:13:09.418 --> 00:13:12.220
Because I tell everybody you can't tune a car unless it's mechanically sound.
00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:17.082
If the car's not mechanically sound, then you have to get that right and then you can tune the vehicle.
00:13:17.082 --> 00:13:18.803
So that's where I would start with that.
00:13:18.803 --> 00:13:22.985
Do your basic tune-up plugs, wires, so on and so forth.
00:13:22.985 --> 00:13:28.878
Fuel filter if you haven't changed that in a while because it sounds like the car sits for a majority of its life?
00:13:28.898 --> 00:13:29.921
Yes, that's correct.
00:13:29.921 --> 00:13:35.640
Just want to make sure everything's good to go there and then, yeah, get it on the dyno and then read the current file out.
00:13:35.640 --> 00:13:41.014
I don't even know where the fuel filter is on the car.
00:13:41.014 --> 00:13:50.519
Yeah, I can't remember exactly on that particular application, but typically it's not too far from the fuel tank, so it's going to be probably a third of the way up the car.
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.755
Under it there's going to be an inline fuel filter there.
00:13:52.937 --> 00:14:09.323
Pressurized yeah yeah, so like the C5, actually the fuel filter and the fuel pressure regulator are integrated into one, so it's a very popular fuel filter or regulator to use in LS swaps, like in the Blazers and stuff like that.
00:14:09.323 --> 00:14:10.412
Guys are putting LSs in them.
00:14:10.412 --> 00:14:15.984
They'll just use a fuel pressure regulator slash filter from a C5, and that's how they get their 58 PSI base pressure.
00:14:16.750 --> 00:14:19.677
Interesting See, he knows all this stuff.
00:14:19.677 --> 00:14:20.379
Yes, mars.
00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:23.634
So I'm wondering, because sooner or later I'm gonna have one.
00:14:23.634 --> 00:14:27.043
But so as a tuner, so don comes over there.
00:14:27.043 --> 00:14:30.576
He says, okay, I've got here, here's my c1, I mean my c5.
00:14:30.576 --> 00:14:42.744
Do you do as part of your process the change the plugs, the plug wires and all that stuff is part of getting the car to that baseline, or should he do that before he comes to you?
00:14:43.429 --> 00:14:47.890
Yeah, certainly it's a good idea to do it beforehand, and a lot of people will advise them.
00:14:47.890 --> 00:14:49.856
They'll ask me okay, what plugs do you want in it?
00:14:49.856 --> 00:14:51.181
Okay, what gap do you want?
00:14:51.181 --> 00:14:52.610
And so on and so forth.
00:14:52.610 --> 00:14:54.032
So we advise them of that.
00:14:54.032 --> 00:14:59.475
And then plug wires obviously are a good thing, especially people who have like headers and things like that.
00:14:59.475 --> 00:15:02.899
Plug wires get brittle, they get hot, you know, and they start to break.
00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:07.741
So that's like the number one thing that we want to look for, of course, the ignition system that's working well.
00:15:07.741 --> 00:15:23.591
Another thing on an older vehicle, especially a vehicle that's sat around quite a bit and, depending on what ambient conditions you're in, it's very humid it's going to have a bigger impact.
00:15:23.591 --> 00:15:27.426
But I would also get the injectors flow tested and clean, because we see a lot of problems with injectors as well, especially a port injection setup as opposed to a direct injection setup.
00:15:27.426 --> 00:15:31.854
So it's a good idea just to get that baseline stuff out of the way prior to putting on the dyno.
00:15:32.014 --> 00:15:35.017
So okay.
00:15:35.017 --> 00:15:43.792
So if I engage you to help me on this, you'll guide me along the way Now.
00:15:43.792 --> 00:15:45.678
Would you do the fuel filter?
00:15:45.678 --> 00:15:47.998
Would you do the spark plug wires?
00:15:47.998 --> 00:15:50.395
Do you have the capability of doing that out there at your shop?
00:15:51.076 --> 00:15:52.019
Yeah, we certainly can.
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:53.022
And we certainly do.
00:15:53.022 --> 00:15:53.543
Yeah.
00:15:53.543 --> 00:16:02.964
And so I could say okay, alex, I'm coming out there and I'd set up a date and time with you and we would get to work.
00:16:02.964 --> 00:16:07.898
You would, I would stand back and watch and hand you tools.
00:16:07.898 --> 00:16:08.818
Yeah.
00:16:09.520 --> 00:16:11.264
Anakanapana, anakanapana.
00:16:11.990 --> 00:16:15.292
So there would be one of those kind of things and you're good with that.
00:16:16.852 --> 00:16:17.033
Yeah.
00:16:18.133 --> 00:16:26.758
Well, you know, there's some hesitancy in your answer there and I'm thinking no, he doesn't want me there, he wants me to drop off the car and let him do his thing, probably.
00:16:26.778 --> 00:16:28.698
Well, that's usually the preferred method, but yeah.
00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:30.340
Yeah, exactly.
00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:36.143
Well, I mean, I want to kind of see it on the dyno and see what it'll do, and I want to see how you do that, you know.
00:16:36.342 --> 00:16:54.063
Yeah, so typically what I do in those situations is, for all the introductory things or the baseline mechanical components that we address, we'll have the vehicle there, get that stuff kind of looked at, give it a once over, do a health check, make sure everything's good.
00:16:54.063 --> 00:17:03.673
And then you know, once I'm on the dyno and you know I get a baseline, I'll send an information to the customer and then you know I'll say, hey, come on over, come check it out on the dyno, because everybody wants to see the car on the dyno.
00:17:03.855 --> 00:17:04.837
They want to hear their car run.
00:17:04.837 --> 00:17:05.579
I get that.
00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:08.815
It's a lot of fun, and so yeah, at that point then.
00:17:09.135 --> 00:17:19.692
I'll say hey, come on over, let's check it out together, Take video it and then you know.
00:17:19.692 --> 00:17:22.101
Then I got to go take the vehicle off dyno and then the most important part is test driving it on the street.
00:17:22.101 --> 00:17:25.712
Make sure your drivability is correct and good, Make sure you know it drives as it should.
00:17:25.712 --> 00:17:28.161
And then that's really where the meat and potatoes comes in.
00:17:28.161 --> 00:17:47.876
So it's like it's difficult because I have a very like a comprehensive process and so it sometimes takes a while and also, given the fact that I'm running the business and doing all the tuning, it's very difficult for me to sit down in one spot for five hours at a time and get one thing done, because I'm spread thin in so many directions.
00:17:47.876 --> 00:17:56.471
So I typically advise my customers hey, you know, I'm good at what I do, I'm in high demand, so it just requires a little bit of Patience.
00:17:56.854 --> 00:18:11.355
So a good thing for me to do would be to drop the car off, say here you go, alex, go for it yeah, but then when I'm ready, of course, I want you to be a part of that process, you know towards the end and make sure you know what's going on and, of course, keep you informed along the way.
00:18:11.375 --> 00:18:15.592
Oh my god, it's like christmas I can't wait to open that present at the end.
00:18:15.813 --> 00:18:17.096
Okay, so he'll.
00:18:17.096 --> 00:18:19.039
He'll be there at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:18:22.230 --> 00:18:23.200
So how long does that typically would you?
