Ferrari’s FAKE Manual, Can a Can-Am Conquer Pikes Peak, & Wildfire Prep with 8 Project Cars?
Q: Tell me about turning a Can-Am into a Pikes Peak hill climb car.

Your Performance Tuner Has It All WRONG. Stop Building Cars This Way.
Q: What are some things that you kind of wish people would know or maybe do before they actually brought their car to you?
Brian stresses that owners should understand that tuning is a holistic process—it's not just about dialing in a map, but ensuring the hardware signals (crank/cam triggers, sensor health) are clean, setting realistic goals, and recognizing that standalone, open-source options can empower rather than hinder them when properly chosen and configured.
