Steve Johnsons interest in cars and Nitrous started while working along side of his dad Gene.  Today 28 years later Gene and Steve still work side by side. Steve Johnson just like many others got his start street racing.  Steve use to race the streets of Chicago with guys like Chuck Samuel and Spiro Pappas. While being employed at a local speed shop Steve teamed up with a customer that offered him the opportunity and financial support to enter the Hot Rod Magazine Fastest Street Car Shootout in Memphis in1992.  At that race he was the number Two qualifier and set the mile per hour record for the event at 164.59 MPH in the famed Black Trans Am.  In the late 1992 Steve began his Pro Mod carrier where he qualified the world’s quickest and fastest single four barrel door slammer at the final two races of the year.   

In 1993 Steve completed the entire season with IHRA where he finished 5th in the world.  In 1995 Steve again competed the full season with IHRA finishing 7th in the world in Pro Mod Mid season 1996 the cost of racing got too expensive and Steve decided it was time to stop racing and regroup.  While taking some time off from racing, NOS approached Steve to go to some races and help their racers out.   He worked for NOS for 7 years traveling the country from coast to coast, going to the races and supporting the racers. 

In 2003 Edelbrock approached him with an offer that he just could not refuse.  He left NOS and went over to Edelbrock as a Director of Motorsports to help them grow their Nitrous as well as Motorsport line. Once again he traveled the country from coast to coast supporting the racers and working with engine builders. January of 2006 Steve created Induction Solutions to meet the demanding needs of his racers and today he is working for himself.  Steve goes to NMRA, NMCA, PSCA and IHRA races to support racers as well as events like the World Street Finals, US Street Nationals, Snowbird Nationals, Super Street Car Nationals just to name a few.  In 2008 he is looking forward to adding some ORSCA and ADRL races as well.
