Your expression was priceless when you crawled out and saw 4200 horsepower. Just like a little kid at Christmas. That’s what this is all about and whether you recognize it tells whether you’re a gear head or not. Steve is a full fledged certified gear head. Don’t ever doubt it. Really enjoy your excitement and to think you designed and built it yourself. That’s why his motto is “Innovation not Imitation “. So true. Congratulations Steve, you deserve it!!!

[@brandonsearle990]

Hell yeah he does

[@KPaul7]

Well said, and when he saw it was only 55lb of too.

[@KimiWallrus]

Problem is its not a true happy expression when he knows his dynos a piece of crap dynocom.

[@Maddog00427]

😆 Steve; "It hit the rev limiter faster.. I have my rev limiter set at 9,000 rpm"............ "Well I guess I'll just have to turn that up" 🤣 Then proceeds to make a 4,200hp at the hub pull.. Love this guy. Much love from Australia Steve.

[@scottsigmon926]

The SMX engine has definitely proven itself on the track and on the hub dyno, but more importantly Steve has proven himself as one of the best engine builders and designer of the world. Steve, you are in a very elite group of men who have accomplished so much. Thanks for your passion and dedication and thanks to your family for giving their time up for you to make it happen.

[@lieutenantdangle3128]

The fact that he’s so open and shows how it’s all done, mistakes included is amazing. It takes an honest man to show his mistakes instead of editing them out.

[@xprettylightsx]

Who else is there to compare to …Nelson racing engines ?

[@dallynsr]

Other videos start, Cletus-joking and foolin around. Steve Morris-blowing things off the wall with his engines.

[@royduenas1192]

You never cease to amaze me, Steve. Like you always emphasize, your engines are ultra-powerful, ultra-durable, drag and drive engines, which are built to last. Many production engines and components aren't made to last these days because there's no money to be made that way. The problem everyone is having is getting the horsepower to the track without blowing the tires off. I can't wait to see how well the wagon rips down the track. 👍🏼💯🇬🇺

[@stevemorrisracing]

Thanks

[@strykerentllc]

Congrats on both getting the the wagon squared away and getting a lead on the trim pieces for Pearl, and of course eclipsing the 4000HP threshold. The Dewey cameo is always a day brightener so thank you for including him! Cheers!

[@freedomfox8183]

I mean he always knew 5000 horsepower has been made through it just nobody ever beats them up on the dyno that hard when they take it to the track and use even more

[@veto8792]

The SMX and SML should probably be sitting in the Smithsonian some day.

[@stevemorrisracing]

LOL

[@mr_mongo7228]

It’s no wonder you are so fast with the amount of time you spend dialing it in on the hub dino. I love your compassion and ability to troubleshoot all of the issues and keep it street able.

[@AB-80X]

There is only one way to be fast, and that is to work on your stuff. All those who have won Drag Week, Sick Week etc. does the exact same. That's the main reason why running in the big tyre classes is so expensive and time consuming.

[@rckreationsvideos274]

I'm glad no one walked in front of those turbos... It would have been like a jet engine sucking something through...

[@Hyrev1]

What happens in Steve's shop is nothing less than incredible!

[@kentmackey2717]

The numbers are staggering. Just a couple clickety clicks on the old computer and power goes up more than my entire car makes. He's making more power in one cylinder than you could ever really need/use on the street. Truly amazing stuff. Thanks Steve!

[@CLCIII]

Rev limiter at 9500 rpm, "Really not that big a deal" on a big block! Crazy! I could understand that on a built Honda K Series. 😂

[@Drunk3nMas7er]

Imagine if he built a single row of an SMX and put it in 4cylinder drag racing with 4.7L. K series have been seen at 12Krpm, but imagine the torque of a almost 5L 4 cylinder...

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

4200 hp at the wheels is insane. At 70psi, it would be close to 5000 hp. And the fact that you can drive it across the country is even more insane. 👏👏

[@brawndothirstmutilator5863]

You can't everything has to be checked daily, different plugs, methanol.... Nobody is driving across the country with one.

[@aukustihaho8284]

@@brawndothirstmutilator5863 well the us is 3000mile wide and you can drive maybe 4000miles on an engine like that. you would need lots of oil and plugs, sure but it is possible.

[@CGT80]

@@brawndothirstmutilator5863 A bunch of people put hundreds of miles per day on the same engine and others that are similar. Raceweek can be over 1000 miles for the entire event. Finnegan has driven Blasphemy across the country and that is a hemi which has proven to be unreliable vs. the SMX that is built for this purpose. What about methanol? This engine runs on 93 pump gas. Different plugs....yes, no problem. It is a $100,000 engine. They change and check plugs all the time. Valve adjustment doesn't change much, but they do check it often and change it for running on the street. They race, then take the spud out of the fuel pump and switch to 93 octane and lash the valves for the street and then run hundreds of miles to the next track. This is the entire reason he builds the SMX. He has even said that there are promod engines that can make more power than his and better choices for a slower street car, but if you want to run 6 second or even 5 second quarter mile runs and be able to drive to the next track without constantly having problems with the engine, then this is what you need.

[@Wildturkey10121]

You designed one hell of an engine there young man, what a monster. I guess that is why I have been hearing your name for years. I love the way you show what you do to parts and why you do it, not many people in your position would reveal that kind of information; but, I guess you are in the business of selling product, so it makes sense that you show your process to potential customers. I don't think at this point it is really needed though your rep is solid from what I can tell. Thanks for the vids, maybe one day in the future I'll be able to afford one!

[@Jeffsa12]

World's Most Powerful Wagon! Prove me wrong... Well when I was a kid in the 70's, mom's 68 Ford wagon was a factory big block 390. IIRC, it had around 4300HP? lmao What has the world come to with guys building 4000HP+ full size station wagon pro mod cars! Whatever the reason, it's AWESOME!

Steve, Really enjoy your videos! Im 72 years old and have been a drag racer since I was 16... I learn alot and love to watch the machining stuff. Say, at 240 mph, does the rear of the car get light, yet? Keep it up!

[@8ballphilc]

Can tell Steve is pleased with these numbers. That makes us pleased!!! Keep up the good work my man!

[@OPFOR109]

My favorite part of this video is you hugging the car after the big hit. So many of these shops/builders churn out these cars that most of us couldn't even dream of building like they don't even give a damn. It just a pile of money and a time slip for them. You still have that average car guy love for your wagon.

[@Taverius]

Yeah I'm always amazed at how many people who use turbos don't understand turbos don't work off exhaust FLOW, they work off exhaust TEMPERATURE. The hot side is designed to turn hot gas into cold gas by expanding it, and in doing so turn the heat into shaft power, if you just blow cold air at it it's not going to do much, because there's no heat to drive expansion.

[@micahbuchheit1283]

Very Impressive!! Wishing you continued success with your program !! Safe Travels !!

[@AB-80X]

Nah. When you run this stuff, you are more than fine doing all the base stuff and drivability on the hub, then you tune the rest outside. Chassis dynos are hard on parts.

[@NINEWALKING]

I wonder with that extremely high grade drivetrain with that new huge differential and new converter what would be the drivetrain loss? Because if it is near standard RWD loss percentage that was over 5000 HP at the crank with “only” 55 PSI. Man I am so happy for Steve. So cool to see him happy. All that effort, dedication, and tons of money finally paid off. I wish that wagon goes straight with this setup and also breaks into 5’s. It could I believe. As it is at this level that’s very low 6’s and it can take way more boost too. I am pretty sure this 55 is very safe for the SMX. Reasonable boost level. Though people run it way harder as well. To be honest I think if I it was mine I wouldn’t like to risk it. I would work on how it builds it up and how car hooks up and wouldn’t unnecessary risk that jewel of the engine. With all changes to wagons drive train I believe Steve has a winner on his hands now. Congratulations Steve, enjoy it!

[@bds598]

Thanks for all information again, Steve! I've always been curious at the decision between 572 and 540 cubic inches in the SMX. If I'm not mistaken, I think I heard Bailey's is 572. Is there much of a power difference between the two ultimately? How about reliability; does the shorter stroke offer an advantage there?

[@matthewerwin4677]

I believe that with a shorter stroke, the pistons are stronger. More metal between the wrist pin and the top of the cylinder.
