Necessity is the mother of invention. And when you’re trying to make a ton of power and
go very fast, consistently,
that’s a mother you’ll be dealing with all the time. While mastering big power comes with a knack for being able to decode engine conditions with everything but eyesight, it’s still very helpful to see exactly what’s going on so you can make precise adjustments. That’s why this legendary engine builder built a custom rig with a clear intake manifold topper that absolutely blew our minds.
An Insane Transparent Intake Manifold
Steve Morris of Steve Morris Engines is the guy you call when you want a ridiculously powerful race engine. Throughout his career, he’s developed a ton of experience in building, selling, and racing with engines that produce thousands of horsepower. He specializes in Chevrolet
and proprietary race motors, offering
LS-based packages
alongside his SMX engines that produce north of 4,500 horsepower.
His company’s tagline is “Innovation, Not Limitation,” which he put on full display in his latest YouTube upload. Morris built an ingenious rig that allowed him to monitor how well fuel flowed in his exact setup. He made it so that it operates using the parts from his race car, from the fuel pump and wiring harness to the intake and injectors.

Steve Morris Manifold Highlights
- Used in combination with an exact fuel pump, wiring, and other components for car.
- Designed to monitor the performance of his exact combination.
- Intends to put clear intake manifold topper on running car.
At the business end of this device were two custom-made parts that really show how much the performance world benefits from modern technology. The base of the intake is outfitted with a custom 3D-printed base that leads each runner into beakers, and the intake was given a clear top.
This device looks like a space-age piece of equipment and, by all rights, is, but the idea behind it is simple. Morris wanted to make sure each injector was able to deliver consistent fuel levels using his exact system. This eliminates any discrepancies that can occur using separate testing equipment. With a controller and laptop for tuning, he could adjust fuel parameters and operating speeds. The beakers and clear top gave him the ability to monitor exactly what’s going on during operation.

The setup worked extremely well, as Morris was able to pinpoint a faulty injector. Maybe he could have done it with simpler equipment, but this eliminated virtually all bouts of trial and error. It also made for a spectacle that performance nerds can drool over for hours.
Truly A Mad Scientist
Steve Morris Engines
As awesome as this rig is, it’s going to get even better. Morris mentioned wanting to put it on a car strapped to a hub
dyno
and run an engine using that same clear intake manifold topper, complete with boost. In doing so, he’ll get a real-time look at what’s happening inside the intake manifold as the engine operates as it normally would. For him, it’s data collection for horsepower wizardry. While that data won’t exactly translate to usable information for the rest of us, it’s another awe-inspiring spectacle we have to look forward to.
