150 - Power and Speed - Mike Sitar of Magnuson Superchargers
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
We are back after some very sketchy weeks of scheduling problems and personal issues. Last week show 76 with Mike's friend John and his son Matt is a little messed up. Turns out a seldom used RE20 Mic bit the dust. Mike IS working on it and he can save it when he gets a few spare minute. Trust us on this, when we tell you Mike is busy... you have no idea.
Tom was unable to do last weeks show due to a last minute emergency, but two weeks ago he was at the Sand Sport show. For us here in the Northeast it's a little hard to understand, but the sand guys take things very seriously. We are talking about essentially dune buggy type vehicles with insane (1500+) HP levels and equally insane price tags (300K+). This is crazy stuff, and most of us knew nothing about it. We also got a little info about "The Chang's" McLaren 650s. This sounds like a hell of a ride.
Tonights guest is "wild" Bill Devine. Bill has been around forced induction forever. If we look back to the guys who were the "computer age" fast turbo guys, Bill was right there. Here are some names that will ring a bell.
Job Spetter
Ken Duttwieler
Hurley Blakeney
Racin' Jason
and the list goes on.
Yes Yes Yes we know, there were many others before them, but this is the time when turbos met computers. That opened the floodgates and here we are today. Bill went from Ford performance to STS (rearmount) Turbos to Bullseye Power Turbos. They have some very interesting turbo wheel designs going and that alone is worth the listen. Very good history here and Bill is a great guest. They do everything from diesel to all out Drag so check out Bullseye next time you need a new hair dryer or two.
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.
