Drive nearly a thousand miles cross country, sit in traffic for hours, and spend your days laying down five and six-second ETs at the drag strip for a week solid? ‘Drag and drive’ events are a unique form of torture for some of the world’s fastest street cars. In this episode, Steve of @stevemorrisracing is on the podcast to tell us how he builds a 4500+hp motor that can handle that kind of punishment.

Steve Morris is one of the true legends of the drag engine building scene, and in this episode, we start by getting an interesting look into the convoluted path that his career and business took to get where it is today.
That business is best known for its extremely high horsepower boosted V8 packages - especially the all-billet SMX and SML engines. One of the biggest selling points of these insane engines is that they’re street-capable, and have proven themselves time and time again in tortuous drag and drive events across the States.
These events require a car to be able to carry all its own spares (usually by towing a small trailer) and drive large distances between race venues within a one-week period - occasionally sitting in traffic for extended periods of time. Steve goes into detail on the unique challenges this form of racing presents and how he builds engines for it that are up to the task, giving up some tasty engine-building insight and knowledge carved from years worth of research and development.
With some great conversations around the age-old superchargers versus turbochargers debate, favoured ECU options for this type of racing, the usefulness and reliability of electronic wastegates and more, this episode is well worth a listen.

Steve is an open book, don't be afraid to do a second episode with him. I love how enthusiastic and true(doesn't hide failures/shortcomings) he is with his craft.
I couldn't agree more! Steve is such a phenomenal person and about as easy going as they come! Not to mention he'll impart knowledge on you like only he can!
It's nice to see in Steve's TH-cam videos that when something goes wrong he goes through it on camera to help us as a viewer learn even more!
Such a welcome change from a lot of guys on TH-cam hiding their failures and trying to make everything look perfect first time!
oh wow, 2 of my favorite car guys together, today is a good day.
Cheers mate! Hope you enjoy sinking your teeth/ears into this one 😎 - Taz.
I was thinking the same, I learn from both
So keen to listen to this, been watching Steve for years there’s a lot to be learned from listening to him
Enjoy!
Thanks for the post. Steve is a one of a kind person you will never meet or deal with a better person. I love how he is a open book and is always willing to extend his knowledge and help.
Love this. I get chills . . like "These are my People" when listening !
This is a great interview two great channels that do great educational work.
I don’t know Steve, but watch all his videos. Seems like a awesome person . Willing to share his knowledge in a way the regular person can relate to and understand . Thanks Steve
Steve Morris is a name and a brand. It's pretty cool what hard work will do.
Oh my goodness podcast gold❤❤❤❤❤
Could listen to you and Steve for hours. Glad you had him on.
Awsome interview
I was watching a SM video the other day and thought it would be awesome to have him on here; I was not disappointed👌🏼
Awesome as always guys
Steves business advice is dead on about the partnerships
Always great hearing Steve talk, to be so open at his level is a very rare thing.
Huge fan of Mr. Morris!!! If i could afford an SML.... THAT WOULD BE IN MY VETT!
Awesome. Thanks. You two are my favorite source of racing knowledge as I try to help my customers in these areas.
Steve Morris hands down has the best automotive channel on You Tube, Sorry Andre. 😂
No need to apologize, we love Steve's content too. Andre wouldn't be talking to him here if we didn't like what he was doing and have a ton of respect for what he has to say 😎 - Taz.
Love both you guys!!!
BOOSTMASTER!
This is great podcast. Steve Morris is awesome and I was hoping he would do something like this. Thank you.
So cool listening to one of the leaders in the industry and knowing he shows the good and the bad, as I do. It's gotten some flack from hatters but ultimately I can sleep at night and know I'll do everything within my power to make things right if it's my fault. I started HLP Products (specialize in the Honda/Acura V6 J-Series engine platform) on the side of my house on a paved concrete pad and a shed, now in a 1200sqft shop with some small machines and GOD WILLING we get to where Steve is. Fun to listen to the best and try to learn from them 🤙 I also been telling the J guys for DECADES that limiter is not good and is why we've taking even stock valve train components to such double to triple the stock power figures of these engines with zero issues...they mocked us and said you "always need to upgrade"...😑 In regards to the screw blower versus Turbo I believe at least in my brain it's from the direct force induction occurring right at the manifold or cylinder head essentially, being the screw blower is directly on top and usually takes the place of the intake manifold. That's verse a turbo with charge piping, with the same idea around less charge pipe equals a faster boost ramp
Steve is the man❤
This should prove a popular upload! 👍
Anyone into performance engine building is going to LOVE this one for sure 😎
That said, I don't think we've had a 'bad' episode yet. I get excited about and enjoy them all myself 😂 - Taz.
Steve is the real deal
those with shed beginnings end up industry masters
Fantastic!
Well done
1:38.03 hours, minutes and seconds of glory content, straight forward interview.
As good as an interview is ever going to get. Simple as.
Awesome episode! My favourite so far by far! So informative and honest, something I love about Steve is he doesn't pretend to know everything whilst simultaneously being one of the most experienced, knowledgeable and intelligent guys in our industry!
Would love it if you guys did a short course or episode covering the art of spark plugs! From choosing the correct temp, gap and reading alcohol fuels etc!
My favourite podcast by far! Even puts the jre podcast into second place on my "to listen" list haha
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed this one 😎
So far we just have this regarding spark plugs which will cover a bit of what you're asking for there, but for sure it would be great to perhaps dive into it a little deeper, or just perhaps break some of the topics up into some shorter content. Like a video on heat range only etc.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts/request/ideas! - Taz.

Very clever dude, been following him for a while now, have robbed a couple ideas for my RB
Really cool engines SMX motors
2JZ! :D

Super interview Andre
Thanks Steve!
Good interview
Thank you 🤘
Godzilla Steve it's a winner
Unreal podcast. Steve is a true innovator. Plus he’s a genuine bloke.
Thanks HP academy
Cheers for the support mate!
Nice👍
This this one hits the spot for you mate - Taz.
Came from Steves enjoyed the whole thing great format and engaging.
Cheers for taking the time to comment and thanks for the support! Glad you enjoyed this chat with Steve as much as Andre did - Taz.
I like Steve✌
I saw Steve promote this on his channel so I’m new here. Is there video available or is it audio only?
Audio only sorry! That also means you can't miss anything if you have it on in the background while you're in the workshop or driving though 😎 - Taz.
Too bad his kids are great so I'll never have an epic story of Steve Morris giving me my first start after seeing his help wanted ad
$130,000 engine and no preheating? Seems like block heaters would be so easy. Electric water pump and a heater in the coolant swirl pot. Hell can't one go in the dry sump tank? Kill injectors n crank a few times. Hell there's the kind of heaters stuck on with putty too.
its not that its not possible, its the case of most guys wont use them. its no big deal on a typical drag car to plug in an oil heater while prepping a car in the morning (although this isnt common place in most drag race applications) however drag and drive is a different deal.
a drag and drive program discussed here is a pile of work. when your done for the day at the track you have to change tires, many change shocks, swap fuel systems around, many lash valves to zero lash (when hot), pack up all your gear and head out. without issues some of these drives can take 8 or 10 hours, with problems you can be up all night. if you do happen to get some sleep, it wont be much, at the hotel in the morning you have to lash the valves again before you even fire the car (it wont start because zero lash hot is valves being held open when cold) and get to the track, change tires, shocks, fuel system, etc over before you can make a pass. what it comes down to, if a guy has to get up a half hour or more early to go drag the generator out of the trailer and sit there while the oil heats up, at some point they arent going to do it.
the mantra of a drag and drive program, no matter how fast or slow it in, is keep it simple. in this case, if you can trade off the horsepower in pumping more oil volume to make one less thing that a sleep deprived 2 person race team can forget, its the way to do it.
@@Sharkey_tYeah what this guy said!
Material or design failure diagnosis hard when its a huge failure.
Is there anyway you guys could try and get someone from the LoqiutoKiller program on this show?
I'd love to hear even a 5 minute story about their chase for the first 5s Rotary.
We can give it a nudge! Is there anyone from the program you have seen around before that is well spoken and knows their stuff? It's OK if no one comes to mind, but if someone does it just helps Brad here to have a look and get the ball rolling.
There are no shortage of awesome guests from this industry! - Taz.
@@hpa101 I'll ask my friend from PR, may be hard he says they don't tell people too much about their secrets.
Well then you need to invite the Godfather of forced induction, Gale Banks. I bet he would have a thing or two to say about Steve’s dyno and tuning practices 😅
