BES Racing’s Darin Morgan delivers a masterclass in Advanced Induction System Design.

In Part 1, Darin shares the hard-earned lessons from decades in manifold development—why purpose dictates design and why yesterday’s manifolds can’t keep up with today’s engines.

You’ll learn:
🔹 Why cast racing manifolds are no longer cost-effective
🔹 How changes in cylinder heads, camshafts, and valvetrain drive manifold design
🔹 The evolution of induction systems—and what’s coming next

📌 Chapters:
0:00 – Introduction
9:04 – It takes a team to build an engine
16:23 – Purpose dictates design: why manifolds designed in the past won’t work in the present
30:30 – Darin’s approach to modifying manifolds
41:40 – 3D printing: why cast manifolds for racing are no longer cost-effective
50:45 – Cylinder head design has changed a lot
55:09 – Where the wheel-guided lifter came from
57:23 – The change in camshaft and valvetrain development

This isn’t just history—it’s a deep dive into the cutting edge of modern race engine development. If you’re serious about horsepower, airflow, and performance, this session is one you’ll watch more than once.
