Steve is a true genuine dude, world needs more men like that. Absolute top of the line engine builder.

I would love to sit down with Steve and drink a cup of coffee. To hear about the good old days.

Hell yeah, Steve Morris and Lake Speed Jr. on the same video.

STEVE IS THE BEST!!!! BOOST MASTER!!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR THE AMAZING WORK !!!

I've been building engines most of my life so I relate to Steve a lot. I could listen to his stories all day.

World Class entertainment. Right in my wheelhouse ! Brings me back to the hundreds of hours I've spent playing with friends and cars and engines !

Love hearing Steve's story!

I have a passion for rallying. Bit like drag and drive but mostly on gravel roads. Closed stages and then touring to start of next stage, usually from 5 to 40 miles per stage and maybe between 200miles and 400 miles touring from stage to stage, town to town. We have very limited servicing, maybe an hour at night and half hour sessions thru day, mainly for fuel and tyres and odd adjustment. Last one was 51 stages over 10 days, 3000 miles touring and about 20 hrs flat out racing. That is a huge challenge to make the cars fast enough but also reliable and strong enough. We campaign a 1981 mitzi starion. 2000cc single cam.2 valve turbo running on leaded av gas. We were one of only 3 cars of a field of 58 that started and finished every stage without time penalties. I even built our own close ratio gearbox. 5 speed synchro based around Toyota w58 unit. Made struts, brakes, turbo stuff etc. We had trouble keeping turbo bolts tight. Tags broke, nothing helped. Resorted to buying 4 14mm ring spanners and cutting in half so had short handle. Made up some clips and we simply left spanners on bolts and used clips to hold spanners from jumping off studs. Looks funny but because the spanners were "loose" the heat didn't transfer and nothing ever came loose. Lot of fun. Huge satisfaction building for the challenge. Next long distance rally is Oct 2024. I drive a service truck and look after the mechanicals. That in itself is an exercise in time management. Love your outlook. Always trying. Figure it out but also try and analyze before hand what can go wrong. Think fancy name is failure analysis!.

Steve is so awesome!!! Funny!!!

These should be longer!

My Kudos to Steve! I've been a shop owner for 20+years (now retired)... Had several apprentices over the years... The first two are still racing today but they didn't want to hear the voice of experience back then.... they now know I was right about build them up and power em back, then sneak up on it... My claim to fame is in the motorcycle world, not the hot rod scene, but motorcycles were generally ahead of stock V8's back in the day... you put biker tech into a big V8, you got big high RPM power! We took TINY 1200cc and less engines and made 100+HP....with 100+TQ

Great interview. The fact that Steve got kicked outta shop class just tickles me.

Steve forgot to mention he had a bigger shop at the old Clothing Care building which was much bigger just up the road from his first shop on the backside of the block.

Steve is an amazing Man hands down

Need more from steve

Where is Dewey?

Steve! I'm a maintenance guy! Some people are turds n don't care about why. I don't care about those people. I just try to learn every day

I went to Ferris State for Automotive Service. I wonder when he was there? 1983-4 for me.

Rule of thumb, if you aren't skilled enough to make power na, i suggest putting some type of a super charger on it. Lets face it, at the end of the day, Nitrous is a fixed ci engine that has to breath like a na engine. How many ci would a 500 ci engine be with boost ? If not enough ci add boost.

I'm a 60 y/o Toolmaker and ex drag racer. These 2 go hand in hand for what it takes to be good at the craft. First thing I always told every one of my apprentices. 1: You don't know squat! You think you do, but that's hurting you from advancing. 2: Ask questions like a newbie. Don't try to pretend you know it all. You'll miss out on the tidbits that will really make you better. 3: Pay attention to everything that others do too. Even the "knowledge challenged" people can teach you what NOT to do. 4: There is NO one right way to do things. Many ways to get there. Think about what will works for you best. 5: Probably should have been first. Even after doing it for 40 years, I love the fact that I learn something new every day. Practice Humility. It makes you better in so many ways. Steve Morris gets it.

Hello gentlemen

what about boost plus nitrous??

Oh Kyle…. He didn’t mean that .😂

some of us can't afford the cost of boost!

...pulling a trailer.

They do realise nitromethane is not nos. Nos is nitrous oxide. Not nitromethane

This is such a poorly formatted show. You have Steve Morris on and then interrupt him to tell him that "we're running out of time". Then you tell people to follow some podcast? This stupid show has the same failing format that cable TV does. Hopefully Cooper Bogetti has Steve on for a good 2-3 hour podcast. Steve I hope you see this and I hope you and Cooper can make that happen.

Give your motors don't have a very good track record and I think you should put out a shirt that says my junk and fast and it don't last

aint

Real tunners don't burn pistons. Lol

Awesome guy awsome kids has god in his life enough said
