V8 Radio: Solving Problems When There Is No Manual, Trivia, And More!

On this episode of V8 Radio, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste dive into a behind-the-scenes scenario regarding an unusual error faced by the V8 Speed & Resto Shop Crew on a project that’s nearly complete… but not quite yet. The car is the sweet 1969 Camaro heavily modified with a Detroit Speed suspension system, Baer Brakes, Forgeline Wheels, Vintage Air, C&R Radiator, Currie rear axle, Hydratech brake booster, sticky Toyo tires, and more. The big recent upgrade comes in the form of a 700+ horsepower GM LT-4 supercharged V8, and so far, it’s been a heck of a ride. However… the calibration in the ECM is doing a few funky things during the accelerating upshifting process. We’re working with GM on a solution, but sometimes you have to work around quirks when you build custom cars. Later, it’s an update on the ’67 Pontiac GTO restoration project as it enters the paint stage of the process, which leads to a cool paint discussion including how certain Hellcat Challengers had thin paint from the factory! This, automotive trivia questions, a nod to NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz, and news on an upcoming V8TV production at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show in Indianapolis! Whew, that’s a big episode of V8 Radio!

By Vwalburn

Great entertainment and always informative! The definition of “ Car Culture “ in a podcast. GearHead Heaven!

By Cody M

Never was a podcast type of guy, but recently do to a change in position's at work, that is all I can do besides stare at the machine I am running. Luckily I ran across you guys, after listening to a couple of random, HotRod/street rod/ type podcast. Once I found y'all's I have been binge listening! Love the humor, the guest, the chemistry between you two guys. Love the trivia, and how you make us wait till the end. I listen on ITunes. And thanks for a great new to me podcast experience. I am posting some pics of my frame off restro 1966 Olds 442. 3rd Gen car. Been working on it 4 1/2 Years 95% of the time by myself. PS Kelle voice is a lot prettier than yalls😂

By REVMuscleCars

The Best

By holden415

"The best automotive podcast out there. I really enjoy the knowledge that the hosts have. I also love that they share information on their own projects. It’s fun to listen to real car guys who don’t have unlimited budgets and still try to get the job done”

My favorite podcast!

by Frank n Terry S

Love Kevin and Mike! These guys are entertaining and genuine. Bravo. Cant wait for the next show

Running on all cylinders

by TimmyGisAwesome

Mike and Kevin share a deep well of knowledge with their listeners when it comes to classic cars. I could see my brother playing along with their trivia questions in my head. (He would love this show!!!) It doesn't hurt that both of these guys have great, broadcast quality voices. Kevin actually sounds a lot like Nick Offerman who plays Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. Keep up the excellent work!!!

Really good show but...............

by Henry's Son

Hi guys, I think you have an excellent program that I often listen to when working in my own shop at night, but might I make a suggestion??? Please level the volumes OR make Mike sit at least a foot away from the mic.

Problem is that with normal conversation, all is good and then Mike laughs or makes a pronouncement and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

I know it might be trivial, it becomes a real irritant after a show or two.

OK, that’s it, keep up the good work.
