High-Performance Exposed — The 2024 Engine Performance Expo Recap

High-Performance Exposed — The 2024 Engine Performance Expo Recap

One time might be a fluke. Two times might be luck. But, four times? Well, that is a pattern, and when it comes to the Engine Performance Expo, that pattern is a good one. For the fourth installment of the Expo, viewers were once again treated to two days of tech features, seminars, and round-table discussions about all things performance engine-related. And, this time, there was an option to attend the Expo in person. As usual, the Expo was hosted by Total Seal‘s Lake Speed, Jr. and Joe Castello.

If you weren’t able to attend, or catch all eight hours of each day, no worries! Not only is the full Expo available to watch on YouTube, but we have the timestamps for every segment below. So whether you want to set aside a full day or two to catch up, or do it half an hour at a time we suggest you find the time. Be warned when budgeting your time, though; it’s easy to lose track and just keep on watching.

Also, make sure to pay close attention to the inaugural classes of the Engine Builder Hall of Fame on both days. The first four inductees were named on Day 1, and the second four on Day 2. It’s an amazing list of names, and all eight inductees are more than deserving of the honor.
