How many sets of strikers were made and sold ?
WTF
- Thread starter Kiwi SRT10
- Start date
Exact numbers unknown.
I had the 1st set in Canada on my truck in 2007. Old Colt had the second set on his. There was a 3rd set on a Viper in Eastern Canada. And that was it for sales in Canada.
Maybe 120 pair of the Street Version sold worldwide (?) That number is likely on the high side.
Fewer of the Striker-R heads were sold. Dom bought Striker-Rs.
Manufacturing/Sales of Strikers ended April 3, 2011.

That’s not a lot out there … what differentiates the strikers from the factory heads .. Pics ?
Were they completely made from scratch ?
Wondering how many are still in operation or if new owners even know they have them on the engines , wreckers etc !
Maybe something that could smoke any top fuel dragster leaving them in the dust at the starting line lol … overhead cam-set up .. anything thing is possibly as some say lol .maybe something in the way you of a hemisphere type head with relocated plugs ,, that would simplify spark plug changes at the least and probably look bad as hell on/in the trucks engine compartment
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT WHEN TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES AND ONLY TAKES A THOUGHT TO GETTER DONE !

They were a completely new casting. The factory dog leg on the Intake Port was removed, larger cooling passages were used as were high-swirl and fast-burn combustion chambers, optimum plug placement, plate-style rigid roller rocker setup and thicker decks; to name a few.
330 cfm (Strikers) vs 270 cfm (Gen III Heads) was a quality airflow gain that made good power. They were designed to maximize power and torque between 2500 and 5800 rpm.
With Strikers, you still needed to invest in valve cover spacers for clearance with the 1.7 roller rockers and definitely a new cam to take advantage of the superior flow.
Strikers were not a cheap undertaking but i.m.o. worth every cent. That 143 Wheel HP and 141 TQ I picked up through the auto trans (which caused an 18% loss on a stock engine over a manual), was a larger than expected power gain. I didn't go with a very aggressive cam grind as I wanted a broad torque band in the truck instead of simply a high peak horsepower number on the dyno.

What were the specs on these heads ?
Btw, what are you currently driving ? a RC or QC Srt-10 ?
What specs are you after?
Here is a link which includes info from Jeff Morys and myself...
Striker Viper Cylinder Heads Striker Viper Cylinder Heads [] : Southeast Performance R/T | Because Knowledge Breeds Winning Power
The J.M. Striker Head is the first and only head of its kind. J.M. used over 15 years of racing head experience to develop the Viper Striker Head. J.M. realized the Viper is a superior car that needed a superior cylinder head. The Striker head will meet and exceed an impressive amount of abuse...

I installed Strikers on my 2005 QC.

I remember years ago when you post about the Strikers , I don’t remember the price back then ,, yes I’m being lazy because I stink at searching for old threads lol ..
Assembled Strikers, valve cover spacers, a new custom-grind billet cam, gaskets and a tune settled in at around 10 grand; doing the work myself.
The resulting horsepower level exceeded the capacity of my o.e.m. fuel injectors, so add another couple of grand there...

I have Belanger headers going on my truck now, ive heard that aftermarket heads with specific porting will not fit Belanger or wont line up ? I could be wrong but it sounds like something might be there.What specs are you after?

I noticed when I took the Bellangers off they are bigger than the port as the gasket has soot on the top on one face.

That's what i thought, but really its not the end of the world. Sounds like we need to start pushing for more group buys.
Group buys would be good except we really don’t have a lot of members on here to be able to make a deal ith vendors etc .. not like it use to be but old be something to at least try ..
I am going to be broke now
I’m sure many have following the 10 trend lol
If you look carefully.... has anyone noticed anything changed? .......
