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.

147- Power and Speed - Dumpster Fire
The Power and Speed Podcast
Tom said it best, dumpster fire.
info_outlineMike, Tom, and Tad in studio, Crunch could not get in because we had more wonderful snow.
Well, the good news is NHRA Pro Stock had a full field, bad news is Tom won the pool with a guess of 209.50 and an event mile per hour record of 210.34. Poor Tad had 210.5, in the words of Maxwell Smart.... Missed it by that much.
The NHRA Pro Stock field was, in Mike's eyes, somewhat surprising. In an effort to overturn Tom's victory he looked up altitude corrected MPH to see how fast they would have gone at sea level. The altitude was like 3000FT and that would make a good air pass of 218 ish. That looks as if they do not lose anything at all, and maybe in the end picked up some.
There were some interesting notes. 1 pass was "Disallowed" and at the time of the show there was no further information as to what exactly "Disallowed" means. Hogan's Manifolds are the manifolds on all the fast guys so they found something for sure in the R&D side. They are all pretty sure injector placement has something to do with this. Hat's off to Hogan's, they have had some very good stuff over the years and it's nice to see them back on top. With that being said, it seems that a fair amount of stuff is still covered. That would mean to the guys that there is something in that area they felt was worth concealing.
Tom said, and we can see from the pictures, the cars look great. It brings back the real look of a car even if somewhat exaggerated in the front end area. In the end, the guys think it overall worked out better than NHRA could have hoped for.
Guest next week, and keep your Trans, converter, and harmonic balancer questions handy.
