First off, we suck.  We should be telling you this all the time.  Screw Facebook likes and iTunes reviews.  They really don't mean much of anything.  If you like the show and want to help us.  Share it Share It Share It.  That does in fact help.

Sometimes we forget how lucky we are to be able to speak to the guests we have on the show.  These guys are "THE guys" when it comes to what you really need to know.  

Tonights guest is Ben Strader, founder of EFI University. He has mentored and trained thousands of tuners from all over the world over the last decade and a half. He has spoken at ATEC several times, assisted NHRA Pro Stock and NASCAR teams on their transition to EFI, worked in nearly every venue of motorsports and even authored a book. Now Ben runs a racing engine development program through the school to help bridge the gap between builders and tuners.  Ben freely gave out some of the best information about the entire industry you could every possibly get.  There is so much in this one, we can't put it all in here.  Grab this one and save it.

We had a surprise caller at the very end of the show.  We almost left him hanging because we had no idea who it was.  Turns out it was Doc from Street Outlaws.  Ben has been instrumental in getting Doc going with his Haltech ECU.  We thank Doc for calling in and giving Ben a celeb endorsement.  Doc is welcome to come on at any time.

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.
