077 - Power and Speed - Wild Bill Devine - Bullseye Power Turbos

Author: Readington Digital September 29, 2016 Duration: 1:12:58

Mike, 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.

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.
