The Power and Speed Podcast
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.

149 - Power and Speed - The Internets are bad
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.

The Power and Speed Podcast
Tom said it best, dumpster fire.
info_outlineMike, Tom, Crunch and Tad in studio on a Sunday.?!
Well, as luck would have it, "Hollywood Tom" will be leaving again and unavailable for Monday, so Sunday it is. That is the beauty of a Podcast, we can always put something down.
Tom finally got the 2JZ dyno session done, and with very good results. The backstory is this was not just a dyno test of a 2JZ, this was a test of a new Manley piston design. It seems that lots of crazy shit happens when you get into very high boost levels on these little motors. The ring seal can go away just to the sheer pressure placed upon everything. Manley stepped up with a redesign, and the results were better than anticipated. Listen for the HO numbers vs displacement. Insane!
The availability of E85 is discussed, and certainly opens up the potential for higher street HP without the worry of fuel requirements. E98 comes to into the discussion, but Mike brings up the honest truth that Alcohol 100% has been around a very long time, and you can get it at the same place you would purchase E98....Just Sayin....
Crunch is headed to Florida for a race that has been in the works for some time. This is the Grudge race finally. 66 grudge races are set to go off. This is a big time event for the money racers out there. Don't miss this one if you can.
Firearms were also a topic. We know this is not a subject that everyone is comfortable with. We also know that firearm guys can be, well, a little out there. We can all certainly go on record and state that safety is of utmost importance with the guys. They spent the Sunday afternoon shooting at Mike's 100 yard range. It was a good time, everyone acted responsibly and everyone had a good time.
PRI is this week, be sure to stop by and see Hollywood Tom at the Manley booth, and PLEASE feel free to have Tom sign autographs. As we speak, Mike, Fudd, and Tad are contemplating stopping by.
Live again next week Monday night at 7:00 PM EST on Mixlr.com. Call in number 908 751 0211. Live callers welcome, and this will be the line for giveaways.
