064 - Power and Speed - Anthony Disomma / Disomma Racing Engines

Author: Readington Digital May 24, 2016 Duration: 1:28:58

Mike, Tom and Tad in studio.

I am not sure what goes on at the Power and Speed compound over the week, but some strange stuff goes on with the wildlife.....

Tom tries to drag Mike into a camshaft discussion and I think what we learned is the guys would really like a good camshaft guest to come on.  It's tough to ask an engine builder about cams because they can be like Mike, very focused on a particular "type" of motor.  The guys floated a few names, and I am sure they will get someone.

Anthony Disomma of Disomma Racing Engines called in tonight with a surprise 2nd person on the phone, Nick Bruder from Bruder Brothers Racing.  Recently there was a rule change that was relatively focused on the Bruder's car.  There is obviously lots to this story, some we heard... some we did not.  The people involved in these classes know exactly what goes on.  Mike told Anthony many shows back to he would run everything as fast as it could go at all times.  Sounds like there might be some killer passes out of this camp in the near future.  Anthony and Nick said it best, the race is won or lost during the week.    

Did you ever hear of a JR Dragster with a 4 speed gearbox?  Of course not. You know why?  This guy will tell you.  Steve McAllister of Innovation Engineering built one!  If you don't know who Steve is, then you never owned a dyno.  Steve manufactures a host of dyno starter and drive dampening systems for most dyno systems.... as well as JR Dragster transmissions.  Check him out.

Fireman Jeff called in in the quest for the, dare I say, 10 second range from his street driven LSA conversion.  Over 4000 lbs and this thing is getting faster every week.

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.

Hosted by Mike, Tom, and Tad, The Power and Speed Podcast digs into the raw, unfiltered world of automotive performance, where those two concepts reign supreme. This isn't a polished studio show; it's a garage conversation that roams wherever the scent of racing fuel leads. One week, the discussion might dissect the engineering behind blistering runs at the Texas Mile, and the next, it could drop you into the gritty, spontaneous atmosphere of local street and grudge racing scenes. The podcast regularly features voices from across the racing spectrum, from top-tier professional drivers to the master builders behind the engines and chassis that make extreme performance possible. You'll hear technical debates, personal stories from the track, and passionate explorations of whatever racing subject has the hosts' attention that week. Brought to you by Readington Digital, each episode is built for those who understand that in the pursuit of going faster, the details-and the people-are everything. Tune in for a genuine, wide-ranging take on the culture and mechanics of speed.
