IAG Performance Thursday Thing!

Gridlife Road America was...drama lol. If you want to know what happened, why we got 3rd and Kal only got 2nd, plus everything else that went down, here is the story. We also chat about the new IAG Radiators and have a great chat about a custom question regarding what engine to use for a 450whp street build. Let's gooooo!

Better late than never. We recorded this ON THE ROAD to Road America. The audio is surprisingly good! Some REALLY good info in here about IAG's new Fortune Auto colab for suspension and our new FA20 pickup. The pickup testing led to some interesting data you may want to hear though!

You "need" that strut bar on your STI to improve handing huh? Let's talk about that. I'm thinking you aren't sure what you ACTAULLY need here and maybe we need to chat. Come learn something!

We have heard every bad idea under the sun. Most of them make no sense and will never work. Then...every once in a blue moon, someone comes up with something that at first sounds awful but the more you talk about it...still sounds awful but you cant help but fall in love with it. THIS IS THE PINNICALE of one of those cases.

Mid Ohio was...a lot. Let's talk about the newly refreshed Boogeyman after seeing some real power and how the weekend went. THEN Subaru (VSC) is building something pretty nuts for Scott Speed. We have a theory as to what it's purpose might be and what impact that could have.

I've been trying to get these cats on for a WHILE! Today we have David and Onix from Kozmic Motorsports on. Where the name came from, their first cars, what it takes to develop a VA STI to run 8.06 in the 1/4, and more questions are all answered plus some. We also tackle the age old question of Whataburger vs In and Out!

We DID infact make Gridlife Midwest. We SOMEHOW managed to turn a lap. This is basically that story. Also Dewey got to drive a few fun BRZ's on Sunday/Funday.

We're not in Kansas anymore...except we are lol. Lot's of variables are all coming together to make this monster a thing. We have a sit-down with Dylan and Sam again and give a status update, talk about the hurdles were running into, and do a lot of rambling about now and past builds.

Wiring, wiring, wiring, and fun jokes about rotary porting. Wanna know what were up to with Boogey right now as we put this together for Gridlife Midwest Fest? Listen here! Motorsports wiring is a dark art that people REALLY don't understand until they are forced to (like me lol). This episode might hopefully shed a LITTLE light on it.

We covered ALL sorts of stuff in this one. Is an EJ207 worth it still? What chassis should you build a track car from? V Mounts? Even a rant about not being a jerk to someone who's helping you setup a build. Good times!

Today we talk about that thing you ignore until 3rd leaves the chat lol. Transmissions are overlooked with maintenance but also gear selection for performance. We go over ALL sorts of topics today ranging from what gears are awesome, what aren't depending on your application, is building a 5MT worth it, and even "Uncle Scotties Cocktail". This was a fun one with a LOT of info here.

Incredible episode. Ever caught yourself thinking of an idea for an engine swap and everything seems to make sense, it all lines up and you wonder "why aren't people aren't doing this"? Some folks forget to ask that question and they find out real quick. Today we have Tanner Smith, the man behind the YouTube Channel Smeedia. We do some news together then go down the rabbit hole o...

With the release of the destroker options to our EJ lineup, we thought it might be a good idea to talk about if a destroker makes sense or not for you application. This get a bit "rambly" but the info is solid. Then we have a classic "ask Dewey" segment that answers a LOT of great questions the audience asked in a thread on the IAG Insiders Lounge.

What an episode. Jon from Flatirons Tuning fown some time to sit down with us and chat about where he's from, where the shop came from and a bunch of other stuff. We go over the recent AOS issues he brought up and some great commentary on "Subaru on Subaru" violence within the community. Great chat!!

So this episode...was a disaster. What it was SUPPOSED to be was a great talk about wheels but due to technical difficulties (not on our end this time) we had to pivot and it just ended up being a fun chat about all sorts of stuff ranging from the car Dewey rented and how it compares to a new BRZ, the "chicken tax" and why we can't have small trucks, and Smeedia special guests and ch...

!!UPDATE!! - We had some technical issues with recording today and there is some missing audio in here. Thankfully you didn't miss much in what was missing but there is some strange jumps. Were still new at this LOL! Well this was a strange one! We tackle the "AOS is a band-aid" topic that seems to have come up recently. We also went on to chat about different Subarus and their best...

Today we chat with Victor May from SubieEvents, the company behind a LOT of the largest Subaru Events in North America (Wicked Big Meet, Subie Fest, and Boxer Fest). We chat about the community, the changes it's went through, how he got into Subarus and his past (Mountain Roo) and also Dewey rants about a national level track event he would love to see. Great chat and a LOT of talk about commu...

Man you thought the first one was good? This was was fantastic! We learned all sorts of stuff about what you need to do to develop a performance product these days, all about the new Cobb Tuning stuff for the GR86/BRZ, Super Lap Battle news, and even getting BMW ABS working in a GC! Plus new stuff coming like a new DCCD controller for the true nutcases out there. This was a BANGER!!!!

We chat about changes made to our AOS and how it effects the end user. Then we have a classic "Ask Dewey" where we answer your questions asked in the IAG Insiders Lounge on Facebook. We cover a ton of different topics from "VA/VB trans swaps into other cars" all the way to "what is the perfect STI?". There is even a rant about Corvettes in there lol!

Someone set Dewey off again! Todays episode is about DCCD. How it REALLY works, do's and don't, what situations to use what and why. Plus some great talks about 6MT swaps, positives and negatives to different year 6MTs, and even a small chat about nitrous lol. Lot's of new people in the chat too so we got lots of new blood asking great questions! If you ever wondered about DCCD then TH...

We love nothing more than to have "pillars of the Subaru community" on the show and there aren't many who fit that bill more than Mike McGinnis from Innovative Tuning/Cobb Tuning. This man has been involved with everything from tuning all forms of race cars, help develop tuning platforms with Cobb and others, and built a bunch of the cars himself. Today we chat about where he came fr...

I know I say "this was great" a lot but I'm having a hard time saying anything but on this one. Paul is someone I've wanted to have on here for a long time. He's a mainstay in the Subaru community in southern California. He's a tuner, fabricator, and owner of Yimi Sport. Today we chat about where the name came from, what got him into tuning, Time Attack with Mark Jager&#3...

Today we chat with Zack, an R&D engineer at Fortune Auto about all sorts of coilover and suspension related topics! We go over a lot of myths and misconceptions about suspension and honestly learn quite a bit! If you ever considered coilovers for your car this is a great one!

This week we are joined by the man, the myth, the legend Mr. Rick Wilson from Dirty Racing Products (DRP). Where did DRP come from? How did they go from rally, to drag, and now to time attack? We hit on all of it and have a great time doing it! This is a great "Subaru's vs the World" episode! It's great story!

Today we talk with Subaru "OG" Ryan at Turbotime in NC!  Topics include: AWD Turbo Chevy S10s, dealers being dealers, riding lions, NASIOC member numbers, and Dave Mirra stories.  Grab a snack or hit cruise, it's a long one but it's fun!
