The Leader in Diesel Performance
Gale Banks compares the performance of a Roots-style 10-71 supercharger to a Whipple 3.8L supercharger. The Whipple outperforms the Roots-style unit in terms of boost air density, compressor efficiency, and throttle response. Gale also introduces the Intercooler Rating System (I.R.S.) to assess the efficiency of intercoolers.
Gale Banks faces a challenge: reducing the insane temperatures generated by his roots-style supercharger on a monster truck engine.

Arnold Kidla loves his 2018 Chevy Duramax Silverado. “This is officially the longest that I’ve owned a truck,” says Arnold Kidla emphatically, “and I don’t think that I’m going to get rid of it for a very long time.

Marie, MI where the snow fall can be incredible. “The snow fall here is one of the highest in the United States, so we head off to Vegas where we stay with family for 6 or 7 months.”
He and his wife are fully enjoying their retirement, but Arnold talks fondly about his tattoo shop. “I was a tattoo artist for 20 years.
