All stock internals with a roe and mopar long tubes catless mids and a magnablow exhaust
I can now verify burt's truck is a beast!!! the pull is absolutely amazing!!! 3rd gear pulls you back and keeps on pulling harder as the rpm climbs! feels like it would keep pulling even harder right to 7000rpm. (although he shifted at 6000ish) it doesn't quit! until Burt had to lift his foot! awesome build!!! I also went for a ride in Joe's truck and again what a beast that QC is! like driving on glass!! spin spin spin!! lol and then high gear pulls like a freight train!!! I will need a bigger shot of NO2 to keep up!!! The weekend was great and again thanx to all that set it all up! Now that i know Chris Jenkens' abilities , a TWINSCREW is my next mod!!
I took ronnie for a ride the next day Norbert, I didn't lift until 220km/h (well before the lights!). Thanks for coming down!:rock::rock:
I would really appreciate a more detailed breakdown on your (OldColt) gains similar to when I showed the difference between the BBK and JTSVenom throttle bodies. Hopefully you did a base line dyno before the strikers were installed (I know you already had the cam installed). I would like to see a chart, say from 2500 rpm through say 6000+ comparing the gains throughout the rpm range for the stock heads compared to the strikers. For both torque and horsepower, questions like...did you gain torque on the low end....did peak torque move...... you know , information we could all use. Also , do you have long tube headers or stock exhaust manifolds, throttle body....etc.?
What is Norbert and what lights? 1/4 mile? distance?
Damn oldcolt our numbers are almost same,got to love them strikers:elefant: I was 574/575,hoping my new roe cam and a tad more compression will push me to the 600 mark,I also sprayed a 100 shot but spun all through 1 and 2 gears:rock:

I really happy with the results. There is plenty of room to go over 600NA, but that was not my goal. I could dig a 100 shot!!
Thanks for all the kind words guys! And thanks to all those that had the faith and patience to wait for their chance on the rollers. I know some of you drove considerable distances to come down (some even twice) !
Burt (Oldcolt) spent a few months planning this, and it was a huge success. I truly appreciate his hard work and determination...
I know most guys reading the posts after this weekend are interested in peak power numbers which is fine, but there is far more to a thorough tune than many people can appreciate. This weekend was a tuning session and not a dyno shootout, although every vehicle enjoyed power gains after Chris Jensen's tuning.
Joe (Yellow Venom) did a 295 foot burnout UPHILL in his truck, and the marks are still just as black as they were 2 days ago! I'll have to do my homework to catch him now ! Darn those Paxtons !! The underhood and inside of Joe's truck looks like an aircraft. Great Job Joe!
Tyler's Procharger build overpowered the performance clutch he was using and gave the Mustang dyno the biggest workout over the 48 hours. The custom work he did on the underhood of his rig (hiding wiring and such) was outstanding. Tyler's rig will be an absolute animal when it's done. As for racing him with my truck? Aughhh.... I'll just watch from the stands...
There was a Gen II Viper (2002) on the rollers that had Strikers and a RANK cam. It has never ran properly at low speeds, would stall out at the lights and be generally bitchy to drive. Thanks to Mr. Jensen's abilities...it now runs better than it ever and can be driven at low vehicle speeds without complaining. It demonstrated an amazing 175 horsepower jump between 3100 and 3900 r.p.m. during the last pull. You would want to be paying close attention to that when blasting through the twisties !! I know the owner was happy..
The proprietary software and hardware combinations Chris was using on these vehicles was something to behold. His patience and expertise throughout (2)-14 hour days of BACK-TO-BACK vehicle tuning could be considered the stuff legends are made of. His introduction to Tim Hortons coffee, double chocolate doughnuts, Tim Horton's chili and Mrs. rottenronnies energy protein shakes, kept him upright in the driver's seats of the many vehicles he was in and out of. Mrs. Oldcolt made some Timmies runs, supplied the Gatorade, pop and ice-cold water to keep everybody alive. And I'm sure things behind the scenes that I am not even aware of.
Jason F. and Matt combined resources and offered us a facility for Mr. Jensen to do the tuning and were both awesome in their overall support to the group.

Oldcolt what compression ratio did you end up with ?
