This is another nice SMX engine that we just finished up for Tony Braglio. We are using the new F4X-140 ProCharger and putting down over 3,300HP on Methanol at just under 50 pounds of boost.
And with enough tire, it's doing a back flip the second it takes the hit. That Blazer would definitely need a wheelie bar if this engine or any engine making 1500+ hp.
Geez I don't know if you can call that engine outlaw but I'm a 60s kid I'm 55 going on 56 I've seen some wild HP builds & been behind them to where my own father was scared to even ride with me after my oldest brother had rapped his roadrunner around a telephone pole. thank God he lived threw the crash. My father & family guys along with junkyard owner friends was building racing cars from round track to drag strips those were good old hot rod days sure miss them days myself especially my father & uncle's along with friends I lost my oldest brother in 2019 he was in his early 60s due to heath but anyways seeing engine builds just brings back good memories thank you for the video of a sweet looking engine that I'd like to drop in my ole 04 single cab silverado. 😁 hope it makes your engineering a success Steve keep up the great and powerful HP mindset 👍
260👍's up Steve Morris thank you for sharing another great video on an awesome innovative product and the abilities and outstanding service to make the world go around faster
FYI - If you are worried about the last rpm reading on the dyno graph, it is likely a software issue on the dyno, specifically the graphing program. If it is what I think it is, they are doing a digital sampling of the HP between two RPM values (like for example between 2550 rpm and 2600, the sampling rate being between 50 rpm). They use that to build a rectangular bar with the HP being the top, and this is in a series of rectangular bars to build a graph (digital sampling). The graph line is then "best fit" to the tops of the digital sampling rectangles. The problem happens when you don't have a last value of RPM to compare to the previous rpm - so the last rpm values are dumped from the graph. This is most likely the reason your highest rpm value doesn't show on the graph - you still have all the data from the run including the top HP, it's just that the graphing program wasn't up to the job.
That’s not a supercharger, it’s a jet turbine😳. Keep the pets away from it or they’ll get sucked in. The numbers these days are just insane. Glad there’s a guy like Steve explaining these things with so much details without being afraid of letting too many secrets out.
This setup is running on a remote pump! To be honest with the Holley Dominator it is really nice once you get everything setup. It will drive like a "normal" street car with the right amount of cooling in it. Radiator, Trans cooler, oil cooler, etc.
Instead of zoomies, what about running a header that has the collector removed? If possible make the tubing as large as zoomies just bent to header shape and joined in the back so they fit in the exhaust collector on the dyno. It would negate the "tuning" the collector does.
@@danmyers9372 I wasn't referring to on the car, just on the dyno. Open zoomies vs. a collector can change the tuning. Steve mentioned that during the first part. Would the open pipes without the collector run the same as zoomies for tuning.
Bro, you be doing alot of (jibber~jabbering) just get straight to da point!..APPRECIATED the content tho. Keep up da good work perfecting your craft. 💯
I had a ProCharger installed on my LS3 what a colossal MISTAKE. ProCharger has no customer support. After I spent about $5K redoing, brackets, alignment of pulleys and finding new brackets ProCharger rewrote the manual and didn’t give a single thank you. I will NEVER MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.
No these are as reliable as everything else it comes down to tuning them correctly pro charger is on point I have a friend running one and they are a monster
@@danmyers9372 I think a lot of it comes down to the setup. A properly setup Procharger can be as reliable if not more reliable than a Stock N/A 5.3 LS
@@jackdaniels2657 Over the years, I always ran nitrous because i hated that big block hanging out the hood. The gear drive setup is where it's at. You can see the flashlight or tree way better, no ridiculous mountain hanging out the hood, and yet it makes the power.
@@jasonstormoen yeah bit bottles are for babies and u gotta keep feeding the baby unlike that big monster sticking out the hood. If u dont like up front why not mount it behind u like in tge bed of a truck
@jackdaniels2657 😆 🤣 I like the gear drive and the sound of it, and I like where it mounts. And, this isn't a turbo so, you can't mount it in the bed of a truck, trunk, or wherever. A blower needs the crank snout for it to work, and the crank snout is in the front.
@@jasonstormoen but if put the engine in the read pf the car it will work ive seen engines in the bed of trucks rear wheel drive. Turbos are too much maintenance and i cant stand turbos spool ovee a belt driven blower
I think we all did I’ve heard of SM In passing I’m sure .. name sounded familiar.. besides proline .. I didn’t know any high end motor builders .. and TBH why would I .. I can’t afford a $100k motor for a nonexistent promod But I really love watching this dudes vids As much or more than good ole cleeter Steve has a good channel going .. def very charismatic and does a great job breaking down what he’s doing and why Did u see the one with his Boost Master wagon running mid 6s .. 212 mph He was showing us his tune up and data logs etc Really cool
How interesting, I Never Noticed there's a spot in left hand bottom corner where dyno predicts how fast the car will go & how quick the car should be in 1/4mile..They must be basing the car on prob 3600lbs Or more bcz if that engine made over 3300Hp & 2000fb, Well my car only makes 3000Hp w/a F11 Blown Wedge Engine, 3spd Lenco & Im knocking on 5s door w/a 6.006, was prob making more then 3000Hp tho, I spike my P/M with Nitro & that 6.0 run had 40/60 split Nitro to Alcohol, So prob alot closer to 4500Hp but still goes in V.low 6s running All Alcohol, So to have over 3300Hp Id think the dyno would say more like second faster than it says car would go, Just my dumb-ass 2cents😂
Wonder if I can fit one of these in my little mazdaspeed Lol. I love the versatility of qlot of your motors. Like you said you can road trip these motors which is awesome
Richard Holdener did some bolt-ons, cams, twin turbos and support equipment to the 5.4 DOHC out of the Navigator and got 1,000hp. They are damn good engines in my eyes.
might be some witchcraft i don't know about but that graph is why I always prefer positive displacement superchargers or turbo chargers always over a procharger. lots of money and effort for very little torque relative to horsepower. that engine and procharger combo will out perform anything and everything I've ever driven or had but still very low torque on centrifugal superchargers I don't know why but ill never spend my money on them for that reason
Swanstrom is changing out direct drives like crazy. Maybe... every 2 to 4 passes. Seems to me that Pro Charger hasn't perfected the technology's reliability issues. What is your take on it Sir ??? Aloha...\000/
He runs the same parts that Fireball runs, and virtually all the other ProMods that aren't having those issues and winning. Swanstrom has ALWAYS been hard on parts, even before he was boosted. He sets everyone on kill that's for sure. :)
@@Wardaddy233 I don't know if I would say its that per say... cause I believe he has the same engine tuner as the rest (steve petty). However, nobody would say that he doesn't set it on kill, and come out swinging every round. Its just wild that he has broke rear ends, transmissions, converters, blowers, gear drives, etc. etc. etc. Pretty sure if its on that car, its broke lol. But nobody can fault the guy, he's got some good wins under his belt.
Hmm, I thought everyone hated Procharger. I was looking into them back when I was in highschool and they seemed like a good way to go. The only thing that was stopping me was that I was in highschool so naturally I was broke.
Good question. At the same time, if I had the room to run a gear drive I definitely would. No belts makes it far more consistent and less maintenance. I would take more parasitic draw if it had to gain the reliability.
I like this episode I watch it over and over again if I wasn't married I'd sell my house and live in my race trailer for one of Steve Morris's motors like this one
Steve.Smx are made for endurance drive on pump gas which is insane with all that horsepower that's what it's all about drive 20 or 2000 miles and race it runs six seconds or faster drag.and drive is insanely cool never thought it would happen. STEVE SMX ROCK'S. GOD SPEED LOVE IT
This is only a guess, but SM uses hoops and copper head gaskets. Those hoops get really close to the cylinder wall on a 4.6” bore, leaving a paper thin ring of iron between the hoop and cylinder. A 4.5” bore gets the edge of the cylinder .050” further away from the inside edge of the hoop, leaving more iron to support and protect the hoop. Edit: The hoops are installed in heads not block but same situation with support material
Steve can you do a video from first putting engine on dyno after build to after tuning? I want to see how much you make and get after original flat numbers.
ITS TOO BAD THESE MOTORS DONT LIVE VERY LONG AND ARE NOT RELIABLE..HOW MANY RACES DO YOU GET BEFOR THEY HAVE TO BE REBUILT..IF YOU CANT BUILD THEM FOR RELIABILITY,, WHY BOTHER....
I just bought a diesel motor to put in my f100 I am pretty excited about. It's rated at 105hp 300tq. I'll just go walk into oncoming traffic now after watching this.
@@timothyvaher2421 Yes, I do remember those days (showing our age, lol) I made it to 2hp per ci before getting out of bracket racing years ago, wasn't easy, or cheap to get there.... Boost brings it to an entirely different level. 6, 7, 8 times per cube was a pipe dream years ago, outside of top fuel. Now, a common reality.
@@timothyvaher2421 it really wasn’t that long ago considering engines have been around for about 130 years and racing has been around for 129 1/2 years😳. 1.5 Na is still impressive, 2.5 with power adder is good for a streetable motor, 6 for a streetable motor is insane. 2000 ft lb at 8000 rpm is a pretty typical deal🤔 really?
@@mikelliteras397 2+hp per inch NA doesn't seem all that impressive when nascar is getting that with a two barrel and serious restrictions on valve sizes.
