068 - Power and Speed - Robert Young - Forced Performance

Author: Readington Digital June 30, 2016 Duration: 1:13:49

Mike, Tom and Tad all in studio.

One of the basic principals of Power and Speed was to give the chance for people to listen, and even get to talk to, people who make things happen in the performance industry.  That is one of the things that makes it enjoyable to everyone involved.  We hope everyone enjoys this one as much as we did.

The mastermind behind Forced Performance and half the driving force behind Xona Rotor called in to talk all things turbo.  What we realized about 10 minutes in is there is no possible way to cover all things turbo in a regular show.  Robert explained many aspects of turbo size and usage in plain ole easy to understand terms.  We all walked away knowing a lot more than we did.  Some myths and facts were clarified along the way.  Sure, we all know how much faster ball bearing turbos spool and how every performance car needs them... right?  Or do we?  Listen in to what will be the first installment of "all things turbo", and get your questions ready for the next time Robert can call in.  

While sending in questions for our guests we also need to hear from the listeners what night is best.  We did Monday nights cause we thought it would be ok, but Tuesday night seemed to be good.  Let us know.

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.
