How much improvement on a turbo motor...

Would a set of Striker heads give? Around 6 months from now I plan on buying either a TT or SC'er viper. A few I've seen for sale have ported versions of the stock head. How much improvement has been seen from putting a set of strikers on? I only ask as I may pull the strikers off my truck before selling it.

The difference is in the order of over 100 RWHP (at the same boost) over a ported, stock head if you are in the 1200+ RWHP category.

Can't give you a specific power gain but I can give you a general principle. The Striker heads will make a big difference and that difference will increase with boost. You'll also have cooler intake temps as the better flow will create less heat at the same boost. If you already have em - don't get rid of them.

I was just curious if anyone had taken a 1000hp car and swapped them out to see the difference. I appreciate the info so far. Obviously 15lbs of boost on a ported factory head will read less once a striker is on. Curious by how much.

Kevin at UR had said that they made some very impressive-- I remember it being over 100 RWHP-- gain on Garth's car. I am sure if you shot him a PM, he would be happy to discuss their attributes.

I'm sure they suck. That's why I just spent the ~7k on a set.

i'll let you know when the car is running shortly!

2Tonetta2 how goes it my power adder friend? Still bitter about FL? I was aware Gaths car did not have the stryker version heads on it, but not aware that JM did the heads already on it. Anyways it looks like the TX crew will be jumping over to some mile events are you coming along? If you need some help adjusting things just give me a ring.
