The bulk of its work is through the remote tuning platform, but the Elite Tuned team still offers limited opportunities for in-person tuning sessions.

Led by tuning experts Mike Carnahan and Branden Leeb, Elite Tuned is backed by a dynamic team of five dedicated professionals boasting a remarkable 70 years of combined and unparalleled industry experience. While many tuners dabble with laptops on the side and treat tuning as a secondary source of income, Carnahan, Leeb, and their team of professionals live and breathe the profession, ensuring that every customer and vehicle receive their undivided attention and expertise. When you choose the experts at Elite Tuned, you can rest assured they aren’t just guessing with your tune in their spare time.

The Elite Tuned team is no stranger to dialing radical combinations like this build featuring simultaneous use of the factory GM direction injection and a secondary system using Holley port injection.

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

Carnahan and Leeb have set themselves from the competition by their unwavering commitment to leveling the playing field and offering world-class tuning support for professionals, shops, and individuals alike. The duo has worked diligently to be at the forefront of industry collaboration, having joined forces with prestigious programs such as HP Tuners, Brian Tooley Racing, Fuel Injector Connection, and Speed Society. Elite Tuned is trusted by over 25 professional shops, including powerhouses like Vengeance Racing, Wragth Motorsports, Powertech Performance, TransAm Worldwide, the Vette Doctors, and many more. Additionally, their clientele includes hundreds of private builders, solidifying their reputation as the go-to choice for those who demand the best in high-performance remote tuning.

TransAm Worldwide is just one of the many shops keeping Elite Tuned busy with a massive lineup of high-horsepower builds, including its recently released take on a modern Chevelle called the 70/SS.

Elite Tuned has raised the bar for the one-stop-shop concept, simplifying and streamlining the remote tuning experience like never before. Its fully automated website serves as a gateway to a turn-key solution for anyone seeking a remote tune for a build from mild to wild and anything in between.

With a dedication to innovation and efficiency, remote tuning has reached new heights of accessibility and convenience.

This ZR1 on high boost, E85, and methanol injection, was built by Zeal Automotive, a partner shop with Elite Tuned.  The team was able to remotely make a series of tuning revisions to address drivability issues before being cleared for the chassis dyno and WOT pulls to fine-tune the performance aspects of the build.

Elite Tuned’s expertise extends across a vast spectrum of builds, catering to clients with a wide range of tuning needs. Whether pursuing a mild upgrade on a daily driver or embarking on a wild, boundary-pushing project, Elite Tuned has you covered.

Many question the ability to remotely tune high-horsepower, complex combinations, but Elite Tuned proves it’s all about who is behind the keyboard. Jason Leiva’s world record-holding ZL1 built by Vengeance Racing is remotely tuned by Elite Tuned while making 1,500-plus horsepower on a hub dyno.
