Matt Happel : Sloppy Mechanics, Sloppy Vs Dangerous, Next Engine | The Cooper Bogetti Podcast Ep20 

Matt should have well over a million subscribers. The fact he hasn't even hit 200k yet is a crime.

#TeamBabySoft The amount of information and resources Matt has given to the community for free makes him the real MVP.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

Matt is the reason there are turbo LS in everything, he made it easy for the rest of us...

Giving hotrodding back to the people. - Sloppy Mechanics

I never thought I would be so fucking STOKED for 3 hours. I literally watched it before work, listened to it at work, and now and finishing it in line to pick my kid up. You're on it Coop. Don't let up.

33:58 Lol Matt know noting how many people he’s inspired is hilarious to us. We live in a very rural area and could name of 9-10 people that built cars because of him lol great podcast

My only complaint; This pod was not long enough! Please do this again!

BTW I went to the sloppy mechanics HPTuners school in 2016 or 2017. It was well worth it even if my G8 was broke at the time. Screw everyone that hates on Matt Happel. I learned a lot from him and I wouldn't around if I wasn't for him. Thanks Matt Happel!

Matt is the only reason I went LS. Period. From the early 2000s with Fairmont part 1 that broke the rear and ended up in the ditch. Lol. Now I'm building turbo trailblazer ss that make 800+ on stock bottom ends. Take that Elon Musk lol

Cooper has definitely found his niche with these podcasts.

Great podcast. Just to hear someone who not only started the ls phase but wasn't given credit for pushing the budget aspect of it is awesome. I'm a 77 to 96 Ford guy so wonderful conversation and thanks for for a great video

One of the guys who got me into turbo ls.

Cooper and Matt thanks for doing this, what I want people to remember is the EPA are people who work for our government and are not elected and not accountable to us but only to who we elect so it is changeable but requires correct and careful information getting to the right people in charge, but there's got to be enough people willing to say something to the next person running for Congress/Senate/President.

Matt Happle is my Hero! Changed my life, I love my Chevelle again and the Turbo LS shits all over the old fofiddyfo it had in it.

As a network engineer who has been in IT for 7+ years, now I understand why tuning came so easily to me. I worked in a healthcare setting when I first got into networking, and most places didn't have a color code for crap. Talk about terrifying to make changes.

Been a fan of this guy's work since off-topic forum days

Fantastic podcast. My opinion is a little biased because Matt is my friend but with that being said your podcasts are great Cooper. Nice and down to earth, you ask some good questions, and carry a conversation well. It was a pleasure listening to this and I look forward to more content from you in the future. Bravo gentlemen.

I first saw this guy on d series Honda forum doing exactly what he described here. 95% of the forum people just repeated stuff they heard about what would work or what was possible. They’d tell him he was an idiot, and two hours later he’d post of video doing that exact thing and it was working. Instantly hooked.

I enjoy listening to Matt on podcasts cause it's full of good information about factory pcms.

I left Facebook years ago but I love it when Matt makes RU-vid videos.

Favorite episode yet. Matt is super knowledgeable and definitely says what needs to be said lol. Thanks for being cool Sunday morning at TX2K and letting us checkout the car Coop!

I owe this guy a lot when it comes to ls knowledge.

Lol I watched the whole thing. Been watching Matt for at least 12 years or so. Matt your a badass keep up the good work

I can certainly say, it's always funny to exclaim...'oh yea we did this years ago' to only find out it was like 15 years ago. OG Slop for life haha. Oh yea, and the Cams make the power :P

Crushing the automotive RU-vid podcast game! Glad you video them. Actually like having them play on the garage TV.

I bought my 12 silverado new with a 6.2 and put a LS9 cam in it after the first year. Since the first month of ownership, I used a Diablo unity tuner and increased line pressure by 10 percent. Never had an issue. Went through the trans at 90k just to do it under warranty (I'm a gm mechanic). It's at 210k now. Now issue's and still whole shots like a mother. It had a stock 6L80e but after the rebuild. I put the 90e clutch pack in. Still running the stock converter

One channel I did a btr stage 2 cam in a 2015 seirra l83 truck and it woke it up ALOT! Plus James short is a grade A dude! He helped me figure out what adjustments I needed to make when tuning the Gen V LT stuff. For as big as he is to take time to stop and help someone as small as really says alot!

Apparently, I’ve been living under a rock never heard of this guy before

Im so late to this episode but this is by far the best one

That's the man that got me into going fast on a budget before things really it got crazy.. love what he does

Really enjoyed the chat with Matt! I’ve been watching his videos since 2007/2008 and am now building my third home spun turbo project because of his inspiration and give no 💩’s attitude. Hope you have him back one day soon Cooper. 🍻

Matt is THE reason I built my first turbo LS fox for drag week.

The 6L80 ACTUALLY has a 4.03 first gear, not a 4.08 as Matt said... That mistake confirms Matt knows nothing. 😂 One of the best podcasts Coop! Didn't seem like 3 hours at all. Thanks for all you do Matt! Now, off to check the converter on my shelf for excessive storage wear.

And for the record, with the right guest, length doesn't matter. I have listened to most of Matt's Long pods and learned from and enjoyed all of them

The COOP Racing Scoop. Love the array of different guests. You rock sir.

wow 3 hours. Thank you Cooper and Matt. 30mins in: You are doing better every interview; it really suits you. There is a small amount of reverb, possibly via the ceiling?

This could have been an extra hour, always love hearing matt's incoherent ramblings. 🤣🤘🏻 He's the reason I built my don't bs me c10! He's a national treasure!

i didnt think about having Matt on the pod. Richard holdener would be another cool one to try and get.

Listening to Matt's stories never gets old. Awesome job Cooper 👍👍

This is awesome u got matt to come down to Florida? Soo sick this is one of my favorites

Listening to the end. Great podcast, coop. TBH I forgot about Sloppy Mechanics. I remember watching him around the time Cleet got ruby.

You need to go interview Billy the kid from SRC (street racing channel) hes going to be in Texas in the next month at the @Jimmydale race billy's s10 is one bad ass unit tho

This is the first ever podcast I ever watched and completely finished.. great info and some good laughs 👌🏼

One of the best episodes. bouncing you guys back and forth and sharing so many good, knowledgeable stories/information is just insanely valuable.

I love his energy, reminds me of the inside of my own hyperactive ADHD brain, genuinely pleasantly excited sounding about anything that interests him, a desire to know all the why's and share this new found wisdom, that to him is fucking awesome, with everyone else as a gift. He has definitely earned a new subscriber, he has a great entertaining way of explaining things, all the knowledge with some amusing and interesting anecdotes, appropriate amount of metaphors etc, and a great back and forth rapport with yourself also. One of my favourite conversations on here and I had never heard of the guy. Thank you again for excellent work as ever also of course, as usual well hosted, just the right amount of rope provided per se, and as alluded above you connect together and bounce off each other EVEN more than normal. Brilliant.

Insanely fun!!!!!! Looking forward to that trip!

Best podcast I ever watched, listened to...its funny and educational...

Matt actually got me into cars into cars when i graduated high school when i got my first mustang and he had his gold gt

I built my turbo LS swapped YJ because of Sloppy Mechanics!

I already listened to this interview while driving for work all day, now I’m watching the video. 😆 you get better w every episode coop! 🤘🏻

I was excited enough to hear you were interviewing Matt. Then I see it’s for over 3 hours yesssssss!

Great podcast, guys. Matt, thanks for giving away the tune info throughout the years. I've got a base tune ready to go once the car is together, thanks to your repository.

Wait a second! How did I miss this?!

One very few podcasts I watched 100%

YAY Papa Racoon!

Best podcast yet.

This was a great episode! Another one of these is needed for sure! 🦅

M.F. Kustoms has been building plug and play setups for Holley for Ford's. They are working on GM next. Really enjoy listening to your podcasts.

Mott is the best. Coop, glad you found a great niche, you're doing a great job with it.

Yesss. This is the episode I've been waiting for!

Might not be a bad idea to do a part 1,2,3 etc for longer podcasts. I definitely could have listen longer. Great podcast

Love this interview with Matt, but I can't stop looking at the ridiculous water bottles! Why? Why? Are they so small??

I was part of the tuning school with Matt for the couple classes they did.He was shocked I drove 9.5 hours to learn lol

The man the myth the legend👍🤘😎

I have been waiting my whole life for this video

Hey coop! Love the podcast. As a audio engineer I’d suggest investing in izotope RX. Some de-verb, de-ess, de-noise and de-pelosive would make listening a lot easier and it’s easy. Hope this helps!

Sick excited that you have Matt on!

Finally a guest that can out ramble cooper 🦝

A true American hero!

I've been waiting for this one! Awesome!

I can listen to you guys talk about important shit for as long as you keep teaching us

Denmah! The racoon king is here!

Quick note: LT head LS block has been done for years, hardest part is either way you do it, the cam is totally custom because intake and exhaust is switched.

This is going to be GREAT! Thanks cooper. Also I will disagree with you that LS 1 Tech is dead. It is not dead.

All hail Sloppy Mechanics!

awesome podcast.. also you can get e38 sockets now. (Molex MX123) if it wasn't for the denmah I wouldn't of got my feet wet with EFI many moons ago, have done countless builds now for my self and friends (LS/4 cylinder etc). Big thanks!

Loved the podcast guys. Big sloppy fan

I was telling Richard Holdener about this very podcast this evening 😁

Another great podcast, your crushing it Cooper

Lord Denham has arrived!

Squirrel Tuned is over 1600 on a stock block ls if I am not mistaken, great video lots of info

The Grim reaper knocking on the Door #3 LS meme was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only criticism I have of this episode, is that there was a lot of talking over each other and stepping on each others words, other than that another great episode keep it up bro

Killer podcast! Great to see these two worlds collide!

Cooper, loving the podcast, I think you have really found your niche. If you can, try to get Pete Harrell on. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Took me a bit to click this. But dang this was a great podcast!!

One of your best ones yet.

I’ve been listening the whole time man

Matt I remember seeing the Grand Marquis rental car with nitrous on it way back in the day

Matt is the man

great chat fellas.

Coop we made it the whole 3 hrs!

The driveway engineer channel is awesome.

FWIW, I listened to the entire interview

Yeah, is VW are different. And I know exactly what he meant by the silver paint that cracked. Seen it many times.

Great show.

This was a great episode. Lets get people that created cars. Example. The guy in charge of creating the nissan hardbody. And the story of how it came to be.

Would be nice if the video was time stamped for subject matter. Great video. 👍
