I dont know if you guys watched the tv show "leepu and pitbull"...

The main host got him self a c43 and he wants to do some performance mods. Watching his show....he makes extracting power out of anything look easy

could be very interesting.

love to see what he does about the headers and especially the "gear ratio" or "tune"

he clearly knows what's up, since he had an S55 motor lying around

Never heard of the show. Only saw this youtube video. Car shows in America are almost always terrible.

There are a few on Velocity i like, but none of these "reality" shows.

Good find,

He may able to tune the ECU, but i don't think he can change the gear ratio,,

unless if he use standalone TCU controller with harness..!

!!..-interesting to know-..!!

ZAYED,,

The car isnt on the show. Its his personal project.


If you guys watch the show youll learn that engine swaps, mods, ecu tunes and this kind of stuff is nothing for them

If you aren't brand loyal and can appreciate other cars, look up what they did to a Cobra Mustang.

I can appreciate most cars.

It was still absolute garbage.

Some truck they redesigned was garbage.

God help this C43...
