Mike Sitar of Magnuson Superchargers calls in to explain the current state of the supercharging market.  Years ago superchargers were the typical X-71 based clunky heat generating units, but technology has changed all that.  The OEM's are exploring the HP limits and that drove the need for larger and more efficient supercharges was evident.  Magnuson has grabbed onto this market with some fantastic products that can make very serious power numbers.

The Power and Speed Podcast

We have covered the internets and the misinformation on the web, but it is always worth covering again.  Dave has never sat in on one these discussions so it was good to hear his perspective.  People say and do the craziest stuff and you need to know when not to listen.

More Episodes

Mike, Tom, Crunch, and Tad in studio today.

 

Street Outlaws, maybe going a better direction as of late.  Everyone agrees the views of the races, the locations they race, and the overall safety of what they do is questionable, but the cars are really some serious stuff.  The guys still dislike it overall, but if you like cars it beats a sharp stick in the eye.

 

Movies cars:  Strange subject, but some good movies from the past are discussed.  This is something every car guy loves and hates. Very rarely does Hollywood get the car side right.  You would think they have a large enough budget to actually TALK to a car guy to get the details right.  Hey Hollywood, instead of worrying about fast and furious sound effects, get your stuff right.  Nugget of Mikes psychosis - Mike hates trains

 

Listeners are always encourage to participate, and a few actually have.  The subject of turbo or supercharger are brought up.  Everyone has opinions on this, and it's discussed from a preference perspective. 

 

Larry Morgan loses his S**T on ESPN about the NHRA.  They play the audio, and you really need to hear this.  Larry Morgan is no joke, and calls it like he sees it.  Gotta love it!

 

Next week show time is unclear because of the 4th of July, but the guys will be live at some point on Mixlr.com.  Call in 908 751 0211 like and visit us on Facebook and iTunes.
