Hey Travis I like what Steve said a while back he said if you are running low horsepower say1,000 , I think he forgot who is listening.i guess I'll have to go back to watching shade tree mechanic with some guy dragging I 1.2 ton floor jack from Montgomery Ward through a gravel driveway and kicking dog poop out of the way, hahaha, I love these videos I think Steve could do a Saturday morning on cable TV and there's an other guy that would fit in the Saturday morning slot and that's Shawn from autotopia LA probably more for TV than Steve but I dig seeing new Tek.
9k+++ redline with 60lbs of boost thru a Chevy big block. Now that’s an impressive feat that few other builders would even attempt let along show the entire process online. Kudos.
@@DeezGarage god watch the videos dumbass the smx is an all billet water jacketed drag and drive and pretty much anything you want to do 5000hp engine designed and built by Steve Morris have you been living under a rock
I come from a turbo import background, and the "shitty" old pushrod technology is actually pretty impressive. The simplicity is appealing for these types of motors, but the downright awesome sound of these engines at 9000rpm is undeniable. Never thought I'd come around to liking these V8's more than import motos, but hey, here I am.
@@turbostyler I think most people don't understand that yes, overhead cams are simply superior in valve control and 4 valves per cylinder do flow more air, but putting cams on top of those heads would make the engine way taller, wider and heavier then they are anyways. That is the reason the 7L LS is much smaller and lighter than a 5.0 Coyote.
Same here, back in the day I had a 1967 GTO with the big block 400, SPC8 ram air cam WT block, 670 heads and a 390 posi, ALL numbers match. BIT, if you pushed even close to 9500, those numbers would no longer match lol
I gotta say... the time lapse music on this channel is ON POINT... and Steve is the G.O.A.T. I pick up bits of knowledge every time I watch one of his vids. good stuff.
Dewey is the star of the show. When my son and I visited Dewey can't get enough attention! Great job on this episode, very informative and I'm always learning something. Great Job Steve and crew 👍
I remember when my cousin was first started running Methonal in his modified circle track car. My grandpa was get 55 gallon drums for either 69 or 79 cents a gallon down in Jackson in the mid 90's. I bet it's much more than that now a days.
I just became a channel member and I NEED THAT MOTOR!!!!! My Camaro has a blown motor. I’m a United States Marine Corps Iraq war combat veteran. Semper Fidelis
Steve, agree with all the other positive comments below. Great channel/information! Also, the star of the show IMHO is Dewey! He's just so at home in the place and wants to get involved with everything. Not fazed at all by the noise from the high HP machines. Incredible. Have you ever taken him for a race spin in the Wagon?
That's so awesome the way you help and look after all your competitors/customers. Looking forward to seeing all you guys competing in sick week and the other events you Florida guys race in.
Got to admit Steve with everything you know about the cost and time you put into these engines it has to be unnerving doing these pulls. Looking forward to the drawing of your engine and stand giveaway. Awesome video and content !
Excellent empirical data as always. Enjoyed the Rottler videos as well so thank you for sharing those also. Mitch is the auto tool changer which is a cost effective option instead of having some robot do it that lacks personality. Saw Kyles 'stang and wondering how that one is coming along? Dewey still does Dewey things which always brings a smile to the audience! Cheers!
Got it. Bailey hits traction control while idling in the shop. Steve Morris Engines baby. Got Sack? I love the dog. Oh shit! Bailey's drivin'. Time to mosey. He get's more disturbed when Steve isn't working of a Chevy.
Yep, and people don’t realize it’s easy to make a dyno lie. You can alter the correction factor, or just change the calibration of it and make a big difference in readings.
Tom has the right name...... this car is SICK Closest thing you can find to having a body wrapped around a motor...... Awsome No other word to describe it.... Yeah Maybe ..... SICK Keep on keeping on Heads up Eyes open No fear
@11:20 - the guy in the brown jacket is like - "I went 37 years without being spotted once in a city full of cameras, but that gargantuan hunk of American winning machine split my focus for one heartbeat...one heatrbeat too many..." 😛
@@KeikoFXDesigns I'd LOVE to see the NPK folks try to tango with this car and Steve's wagon.. They damn sure got nothing that will match them on a drag and drive..
Finally someone gets the extra benefit of the exhaust dump pipes pointing in the right direction to add a little thrust to help push the car down the track to gain that little extra power. I don't know what the actual gain is, because every engine is different comparatively speaking, but pushing that amount of air through the cylinders, and even with the percentage lost pushing the impellers to build the boost to begin with. It has to be some assistance in pushing the car that much faster down, just because the velocity has to be substantial due to the volume of air being condensed, and forced out the down pipe.
That car really is awesome it works incredibly well and the engine is insane. Anything that runs 60 or 70 lbs of boost and does it often it’s really cool I wish I could learn as much as this man has forgotten
What's the value of the backround props that give ambiance to the video?? Any guesses?? Dual axle pusher, Massive toter in parking lot, the wagon, the stang, don't even know what the stepside is about.... and that's before a trained eye starts seeing the cnc's and other stuff..... Well, Steve doin' it right!
Yeah, it is crazy, I have seen Italian race cars, Formula car etc... hitting these RPM levels, but American big blocks? Man, technology has come along way.
Really hoping to see this car run 5.xx every day during Sick Week. I seriously root for this car more than I do my favorite college football team. (Even though you guys are both from “That State up North”).
Just out of curiosity, How long would this kind of dyno session take? I think people would be shocked to hear the time it takes to correctly tune at this level.
Steve is the man, this has become one of my favorite channels. Tons of knowledge that he makes easy to understand.
Definitely one of my favorite channels. Next to Vice Grip Garage and Pole Barn Garage
Share as much as possible
Thanks
Share all you can please 😁

Leroy’s rods disagree. 😂

Everyone coming to Steve to make sure that their engines are good to go for Sick Week 2.0. Puppy is full micromanagement mode this video.
I'm pretty confident Dewey knows more about this stuff than me lol
@@picklefart cool name and I'm sure Dewey knows more than a lot of us 😂
Dewey is the shop foreman and every job that comes through the shop has to get his sniff of approval.
The 4 legged supervisor is always eyeing everything up making sure you are doing the right thing.
Having a hard time wrapping my head around 9500RPM. Just amazing how far valve train tech has come

Agreed ... I typically consume all YT at 2x ... however, with the dyno pulls, and the time lapse track choice ... I love this at normal speed!
Dewey looks like a good supervisor!
Dewey saves cats getting sucked into things. Ever cut off a catgut fanlbelt? lols
Dewey is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters on your channel!
That red light kicking on looks sick. Sweet shot
That dog being absolutely everywhere 😂
I remember how grumpy Tom used to get about being recorded by the 1320 guys, it's great to see how he has come around over the years
Dewey is the star of the show. When my son and I visited Dewey can't get enough attention! Great job on this episode, very informative and I'm always learning something. Great Job Steve and crew 👍

😂
Times have changes so much. I think it's around $10 per gallon for m1, and m5 I think is around $13. I'm not 100% sure but I think its close
Glad to see the details today. On yesterdays clip i found it odd there was no suspension travel.
Hahaha supervisor Dewey sees all the humans on the floor and wants to make sure everythings alright. Gotta love it.
That is one impressive Dyno machine . Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel
Come on sick week. Can’t wait to see Tom and Steve in that bad ass ride.
I just became a channel member and I NEED THAT MOTOR!!!!! My Camaro has a blown motor. I’m a United States Marine Corps Iraq war combat veteran. Semper Fidelis
Lmao what is Tom thinking about that Chick-fil-A cup at 15:20 😂
Steve, agree with all the other positive comments below. Great channel/information! Also, the star of the show IMHO is Dewey! He's just so at home in the place and wants to get involved with everything. Not fazed at all by the noise from the high HP machines. Incredible. Have you ever taken him for a race spin in the Wagon?
25:30 You know you have a badass engine when traction control comes on at idle! LOL
Never get tired of hearing the sound of the power from the SMX engine!
That's so awesome the way you help and look after all your competitors/customers. Looking forward to seeing all you guys competing in sick week and the other events you Florida guys race in.
Of course. That's how he makes sure that he wins and not Tom haha😀
Fun watching vids of Steve and Tom from like 4 years ago. They are so much more comfortable on camera now than they were back then.
Steve and valve lash reminds me of Dennis Wilson (as "the mechanic") in Two-Lane Blacktop and "I gotta check the jets."
That old chevy truck under the lift that says Abotts Towing is from my home town!
I love seeing your dog! Its so awesome to see great shop dogs and bad ass cars!
What an awesome machine! Extra points for the dog doing dog things!
Got to admit Steve with everything you know about the cost and time you put into these engines it has to be unnerving doing these pulls. Looking forward to the drawing of your engine and stand giveaway. Awesome video and content !
Nah, he is confident in his blocks, as well as any non SME parts in them... This engine is absolutely insane.. serious ,, consistent high hp.
Steve starting the giveaway engine was like a DJ working the turntables. Sweet. Oompf ticca oompf, ticca tic-caaaa.

Whenever I see the shop dog with that blue collar I think of Scooby Doo.
Thanks for your content.
I love the cupholders in front of the shifter
Dude i'm here for the engines and the tech, but man I love that dog.
2915 .. on a relatively easy pull. Freaking *BRUTAL*. Nice to see EJ made the trip with Tom!
@@stephenthompson9722 ... sorry about the tipoff that EJ visited SME.
Love your beautiful puppy Dewey ❤️🐕❤️
So great to see that car up close and personal, online that is. Thanks for another great video and some amazing information.
Steve, Where were your Safety Glasses when drilling that hollow square steel tube??? I love the Engine and the sound, very cool.
"Its better to be fat and happy, than lean and deadly." Steve Morris
Words to live by lol
That's Steve Morrison power baby
Got it. Bailey hits traction control while idling in the shop. Steve Morris Engines baby. Got Sack?
I love the dog. Oh shit! Bailey's drivin'. Time to mosey. He get's more disturbed when Steve isn't working of a Chevy.
I've noticed most people don't understand a Dyno is just a tuning tool. Two different dynos will give you two different numbers
Yep, and people don’t realize it’s easy to make a dyno lie. You can alter the correction factor, or just change the calibration of it and make a big difference in readings.
Loved when the dog got in the way haha!
Tom has the right name...... this car is SICK
Closest thing you can find to having a body wrapped around a motor......
Awsome
No other word to describe it....
Yeah
Maybe .....
SICK
Keep on keeping on
Heads up
Eyes open
No fear
I have a carbureted 440 block built up, street it's scary enough for me, and it didn't cost hardly anything.!
Mt. Everest of Mountain Motors. Love you guys don't ever stop.
Tom and Steve are such a good partnership.

It's awesome how you explain everything so us less motor educated people can understand what's going on!

You two old farts just having a good time in the shop is awesome. Love seeing my future! Keep gettin' it boys!
Also hope I look as good as you when I hit 50!
I just love that Stewie is always around ready to help out.
Steve is the GOAT, he powers the fastest street cars out there.
You are the best of the best, don’t care who’s running your engines, they are totally satisfied 👍👍👍👍
9700 rpm red line with 70 pounds of boost at the track with a big block WTF awesome
Steve - nice work dude. Your engines are a work of art.
Steve you are about to become a very very popular engine builder. Soo much knowledge and experience.
He already is, in the racing world
He's already there. Some of the NPK racers have his engines.
@@KeikoFXDesigns I'd LOVE to see the NPK folks try to tango with this car and Steve's wagon.. They damn sure got nothing that will match them on a drag and drive..
Become??
Hey Steve, you mentioned these injectors flow more than advertised. Whats your base fuel pressure? Their flow ratings are based on 43.5psi
43 psi
@@stevemorrisracing oh right on! I was asking because I know a lot of the big injectors people run higher base pressure
Looking forward to this one.
I mean this car and engine just absolutely rule! What a combination

SELL THE ORANGE SICK FLANNEL!
I used to run a Dynapack for many years. It was great for tuning initial setups and drivability. Probably would’ve broke underneath Tom’s car, lol.
I can't wait to see these 2 battle it out at Sickweek
@13:05 the quintessential drag and drive accessories
Can’t wait to see everything come together… Uncle Bob in USA.
Awesome video. It’s amazing how you can mess with a computer and change so much now days.
Dewey is my hero. Beautiful dog always right in the mix.
Your dog was the best part of the video!
Looking forward to seeing these two amazing cars racing in sick week.
Hard for Steve to not want to see his motor so well against his car? Lol.
“It only made about 2,200 hp”…. A phrase I could never say in serious conversation. 👀
Man that is busy under the front clip, like REALLY busy!
My dog is crew chief around shop too 👍. Enjoyed video.
monsters only in Steve's shop
He'll yeah brother, don't see many channels gain almost 200,000 subs in a couple days
Sounds great Steve and Tom. Can’t wait to watch sick week. My dream is to do a drag an drive event in the near future.
Staying frosty with 4 giant cup holders, this is the way
I like how Dewey is involved in every aspect.
Man this is some bad ass content thank you Steve
That car really is awesome it works incredibly well and the engine is insane. Anything that runs 60 or 70 lbs of boost and does it often it’s really cool I wish I could learn as much as this man has forgotten
Probably the best benefit of this channel is so that I don't feel so bad about the money I spend on "go faster." Compared to these guys, I'm a chump.
That chassis is solid
I love the low boost pulls at 40 lbs!!!

😁
There's shop dog's, then there's Dewy who literally gets under the car and tries to wrench.
I love your dog man honestly
Yeah, it is crazy, I have seen Italian race cars, Formula car etc... hitting these RPM levels, but American big blocks? Man, technology has come along way.
Dewey didn’t seem overly impressed with Tom’s car. No place for him to ride vs in a big old station wagon.
Really hoping to see this car run 5.xx every day during Sick Week. I seriously root for this car more than I do my favorite college football team. (Even though you guys are both from “That State up North”).

I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.
Such a no bullshit guy I love it.
New member. That engine would rock my old Yj Wrangler....😜
The dog deserves a vid of his own.
Last video shows the headers glowing orange on Baileys channel i believe.
The shop dog doesn't even flinch when that beast fires off.
