Monster
As mention earlier I had a monster stage 2 on my pulling truck the last half of the 2007 pulling season. My truck loped at idle just like the truck in the video that was posted. The hard motor parts that remain constant throught the year were scheid street cam, fluiddamper, and 12mm head studs, head with mild porting, F1 valve springs, HTT 66/16/71, Redline Unlimited, and the 150+ gph airdog at 24psi, it stayed above 20+ psi sledpulling
During the start of the season I was running II hotrod VP 44, DDP 200hp injectors.
Then added .093 stainless injector lines and oversized connector tubes from haisley while my Monster was on order for 6 weeks.
The first of August I added the Monster Stage 2- meaning I had a direct comparision between the II HRVP44 and the Monster with the exact same setup.
Then about 2 weeks after adding the Monster I replaced the DDP 200's with 240hp. (Right after Schieds pull)
I can honestly say that hooked to a pulling sled there is a substantial difference in fuel and power with the monster and the HRVP44. You can ask anyone I pulled against through 2007 the difference was fairly obvious even watching. Now will the monster make more hp on a dyno than the HRVP44 I don't know I never tried it, frankly I don't care, the pulling track is were I want it to perform. I can tell you that after pulling my motor apart this winter and now rebuilding it to put in a customers truck, This motor was overfueled, fairly sure not many can say that with a HRvp44. This was obvious because the top of #1 piston was moltin. Not to mention at the end of the season when I finally looked at they pyro at 75ft it had the 1600 deg pyro pegged.
As some may know my Monster is for sale. The main reason for this is I want to run more than 4000rpm's and I have all but giving up on programmers to make this a possibility.
I wish that I was smart enough to post videos on here because I have every pull that truck make this year on dvd, but I am not smart enough with a computer to do so.
As for reliability, my truck seen very little street driving about 1000 miles total all season. So I can speak for that but the pump has several passes down the track without a hick up.
Sorry for the long post just trying to be as informative and truthful as possible.
Cumminnotrunnin, Let me know when you get you truck put back together, if I still have the Monster for sale we might be able to work something out on a trial dyno run.
