600HP LBZ 10K Budget Build Dec 02, 2017

Show notes

The goal is to build a 600HP LBZ with 10K that meets a bunch of goals like driveability, completeness, reliability, towing, and potential for long-term dependability. There may be a few other things tossed into the judging mix - but you get the idea. Paul Wilson goes head-to-head with Wehrli Custom Fab's Tyler Franzen (aka Tranny). The so-called judge in this orgy of f-bombs, disputes, and other rowdy behavior is none other than Chris Ehmke. Tighten the seat-belt for this one!

L5P & Gale Banks: Everything Gets Better with Swirl Nov 24, 2017

Show notes

Gale Banks demonstrates the Duramax L5P's ability to deliver astonishing head flow numbers when compared to the LML. In this episode, recorded last May at Banks Power HQ near Los Angeles, Nick Pregnitz and Paul Wilson learn how the movement of fuel in the cylinder helps make more power during combustion. The swirl can help deliver oxygen to ensure all the fuel burns in the cylinder. Without good swirl, the result would be a lot of smoke.
