Most of us know about Stryker heads and Greg Good heads. Most of us also know Chuck Tator, and we also know that Chuck is probably the worlds most reknown Viper tech. What many of you may not know is that Chuck Tator builds 700-725 fly wheel hp bullet proof naturally aspirated Gen 3 engines w/ stroked/ported heads, comp cam, and lower ends capable of handling 900-1000 fly wheel hp.
After blowing my engine, Chuck built me an estimated 600-625 rwhp n/a motor w/ a bullet proof lower end ready to handle super or turbo charging. He had the heads totally redone, and added the cam and two pages of stuff on his invoice like PC pistons, tougher rods, lifters....etc. He also gave me a significant discount and detailed the car for me for delivery. He also put in my rollbar, navigation, comp coupe oil pan and fire extinguisher. Also, I have Jeff Lemke's 08-like hood! I cannot tell you how much sexier and mean that hood makes my Viper look! I get twice the stares as before. And Jeff's hood is only like 10 lbs and w/ some cutting the heat shield from the old hood goes right on his hood. I had Jeff paint the hood black and his paint matches my black car perfectly.
My car is a total naturally aspirated monster. The car roars and the entire car shakes at idle due to the cam like there is an earthquake underneath. I do have Belanger headers and full exhaust, but the roar is still almost a full octave lower than before! My wife says,
"I used to hear you 1/2 mile away before you got home...now I can feel you 1/2 mile away cause the ground shakes!
People constantly pull up beside me and say, "Man I love the way your car sounds!" It is an aggressive deep intimidating sound. Funny thing is that Vettes and Porsches and even Mustangs would constantly pull up to me for a challenge prior to these mods, now after simply hearing this new roar....I cannot get any takers! I pull up besides them, they wave and keep it moving.
I have about 200 more miles to complete my break in period...and after checking the oil numerous times there has been NO oil consumption at all on this new engine, and the color did not start to darken until I passed 600 miles!
The acceleration is insane, the torque is insane. The car is insane...and s/c or TT is on the schedule for next year....after my break in phase we will dyno the car and I will take it to the drag strip and post some numbers for you guys! I will keep you posted on just what Chucks Monster can do!

But thanks!
I had a guy in a Viper Truck w/ 150 hp nos shot challenge me, said he ran low to mid 11's. We pulled into a parking lot to discuss things...then I told him I had an estimated 700 flywheel hp...he said, "let me hear it." So I revved it pretty good...he backed down. But told me he would pay me $500 if I kicked his friends ass who drove a 06 z06 and that was constantly talking crap. We exchanged numbers and set a match up for next week....my break in will be done by then!
I will keep you guys posted on next weeks race!
It's fine from a distance but standing 5 ft away I could see that it didn't fit. There were gaps everywhere. Since your car is black, it is harder to observe these differences. On any other color, it would be an eyesore. $0.02.
