Two Guys Garage Podcast

Are we witnessing a "gas resurgence"? Willie and Kevin tap into the expertise of Dan Millen from Livernois Motorsports & Engineering to dissect the surprising sales struggles of modern muscle alongside the intriguing sleeper potential of vehicles like the Durango Hellcat. They delve into the aftermarket's ongoing battle with OEM tuning restrictions and the unexpected realities of EV adoption compared to traditional gas power, ultimately questioning the future landscape of high-performance modification.

You might want to wait on dropping $8,000 on that blower you’ve had your eye on until after you’ve heard this week’s podcast. Willie’s twin brother Billy from Warlock Tuning joins the guys to expose the hidden horsepower buried in factory torque limiters and explain how modern “neural networks” in Dodge and GM platforms are changing the tuning game. From optimizing your engine’s "ecosystem" for maximum output, to the sleeper appeal of an all-wheel-drive, cammed-out police interceptor, Billy explains why these AI-based decision-making systems are leaps and bounds ahead of the old-school way of tuning.

Although the guys normally talk about four wheels, today they’re shifting gears to focus on the evolution of sophisticated electronics that are transforming modern motorcycle technology. Along with Dylan Bolton from Tri-City Cycles, they marvel at how innovations like phone-based tuning and anti-slide systems give riders more control and confidence, whether they're tackling a race, a trail, or just weekend riding, effectively changing the game forever.

The gap between OEM performance and the aftermarket is closing fast. Tremec’s Mike Kidd joins Kevin and Willie to reveal their latest billet-cased prototypes. From rev-matching fixes for '19+ Mustangs to a manual gearbox solution for the C8 Corvette platform, Tremec is rewriting the rules for the aftermarket. This week, we dive into the science of triple-cone synchronizers, 80-millisecond shift times, and why the "Terminator" of transmissions is moving into the transaxle world. Whether you’re a pro-touring veteran or a modern muscle fan, this is the hardware update you’ve been waiting for.

Willie and Kevin welcome the innovative Bryan Fuller of Fuller Moto to discuss his latest audacious project: a five-day build to create a car body from scratch. Fuller recounts the inspiration behind this seemingly impossible feat, stemming from a shattered Hot Wheels model and a desire to push the boundaries of automotive fabrication using the newest technology available. He details the challenges of assembling a dream team, including the legendary Chip Foose, and utilizing cutting-edge technology to shape metal in ways never before attempted. Hear about the intense, almost deafening atmosphere in the shop, where "it was literally like a frickin’ jet plane" with dozens of metal shapers at work alongside a 10-man film crew, and the camaraderie that fueled this unprecedented automotive achievement.
