    Mike, Tom, Tad, and Dave Localio in studio. We have covered the internets and the misinformation on the web, but it is always worth covering again.

    Mike, Tom, Tad, and SS Jeff in Studio. Jeff stopped by for the show and he has his SS going pretty good. 10.60 at 135ish. That's pretty damn nice for a 4400LBS street car. Greg Banish has been on several times before and always has loads of good information. Greg has honest to god OEM level...

  28. 129 - Power and Speed - Ben Strader - Square Port Heads FTW

    Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. What is GM doing? For that matter what are most of the manufactures doing? The guys feel GM is messing things up at almost every turn.

  29. 128 - Power and Speed - Power and Plumbing

    Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Well, Mike had a crappy week.

    Mike, Tom, Tad, and SS Jeff in studio. Well Mike has gone and done it. He talked about it with Sloppy Matt, but he did it.

  32. 125 - Power and Speed - Dave Steck of DSX Tuning

    Mike, Tom, Tad, and SS Jeff in studio. Our buddy Jeff stopped by tonight to fill us in on his SS that Mike has been helping him with. The initial tunes are done and the car is solidly in the 10s.

  41. 116 - Power and Speed - Billy Godbold of Comp Cams

    Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Mike gave us some insight into who listens and where. Australia, Canada, and the UK make up the top 3 after the USA. Nice.

  42. 115 - Power And Speed - Dave Vassar Nitrous Outlet

  44. 113 - Power and Speed -Greg Banish of Calibrated Success

    Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Tom takes an Uber, Mike has a plan, and together they failed. With that out of the way, the shows as of late are really full of good info from good people. Shane T, Paul Yaw, Ben Strader and now... Greg Banish. Greg has a very different perspective from most...

  45. 112 - Power and Speed - Clark Rosenstengel - Jason Doisher - DragWeek

    Mike, Tom, and Tad in studio. Serious moment from Power and Speed. Listen guys, bad guys are bad guys. Go easy on the terrorist stuff.
