099 - Power and Speed - Phil Data of King Engine Bearings - PJ Nadeau

Author: Readington Digital March 13, 2017 Duration: 1:28:29

Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio on a Sunday.

Sunday Sunday Sunday.  All the NJ guys will all know where that comes from.  Sunday recording this week due to travel plans and impending snow storm.

We always try to have tech guys where we can, and we all like learning from the best people in the business.  Tom knows just about everyone, and if he doesn't he knows someone who does.  There is no shortage of great people who can come on, and this one is for the engine guys out there.

Phillip Data from King Engine Bearings calls in to give some details about bearing types and construction.  We know tons of people who just say, standard crank, give me a set of standard bearings.  90 times out of 100 it will run, is it the right way to do things? No.  Phillip gets into some of the variety of bearings King manufactures, and why what bearings are used for a particular purpose.  If you are trying to go over an engine yourself, you should do two things.  Listen to this show, and give Phillip at King a call.  That small amount of research will protect your investment.  We look forward to having Phil on again, there is lots more to talk about when it comes to bearings.

Continuing with our Drag Week theme, tonights second guest has a unique perspective.  PJ Nadeau is not only a Drag Week competitor, he covers the Drag Week event as a contributor for Hot Rod.  He has seen the competition side through his own eyes and knows just how hard this is to do.  PJ's articles provide coverage for the guys (like us) who are not running in the top class.  Everyone who does the Drag Week event deserves some recognition and PJ does a fantastic job telling their stories.  Check his articles out on the Drag Week section of Hot Rod.

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.
