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.

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 all in studio.

Project SubaTard, SubaTad, or whatever the code name is for Tad's car will be started very soon.  The guys are going to take the motor out at Mike's and it was told to Tad a long time ago that it was not going to "rest" at Mike's for two years.  Get moving Tad.

Camshafts, lots of info out there, but how to really understand it. The guys all like Engine Labs, and you should too.  Like any other resource, you should read and then do additional research.  No one place on the web is going to teach you everything about any one subject.  Mike has said many times over the years he learned a little something from seeing something that was done by someone else.  You can almost always learn something from someone else no matter how bad they are.

The NHRA Pro Stock EFI debut is going to be here before you know it.  Tom is going, and Mike might go, to see how close they are to where they were.  A little wager has started and the guesses are made.  Lets see how good these guys get these things.  From what we have heard, they are not off much in initial testing.

One of the things the guys want to get more into is guests.  They really can get a super wide range of guests, but that does not mean you want to hear them.  How technical do you want to be?  How do they cover a broad range of interest with listeners from Import to Domestic not to mention Street to Strip.  Post suggestions on face book, and the guys will line stuff up.

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.
