Re: nasty syclone Video I bought lots of goodies from them back when I had Regal T-Types. They always treated me great and had some really innovative parts back then. Doing a quick search, they don't list much for Sy's except fuel pressure regulators and turbo's. Says Fraser, MI on the site...

Re: New member from new jersey Congratulations and welcome to the club! Stock is good, reliable and silly quick. My stock Sy has never let me down-it's always ready to drive.

Re: NON-Title Syclone in Missouri - Trades or best offer Is this the one that was on Craigslist/St. Louis for a long time? If so, you'll definitely got a LOT more interest here.

Re: 1992 GMC Typhoon ##1619 $25000 First off, when I see a trailer in the background, I think "flipper". Meaning he may have given $5000 to drag it out of a storage locker somewhere and is now jumping on the "ridiculous asking prices for Ty's" bandwagon. Second, we're not dealing with a...

Re: 1991 GMC Syclone #1931 - $18500 Isn't that one of the big claims of Optima batteries? I've never had the guts to try it but the rock crawler/off road folks love 'em for that sort of versatility.

Re: ASAP Starter help Did you test how the battery reacts when you hit the key? Put a voltmeter on the battery and have someone turn the key. The battery can show 12+ volts sitting there but once you put a load on it? That'll plummet. Just went through exactly that with my dune buggy. Went...

Re: Miles per gal I get 14.5 like clockwork. My truck is all stock. But I never get any extended highway miles to speak of. All two lanes or small four lane highways. I can definitely see where it could shine on the interstate. My truck cruises effortlessly at 70.

Re: Street outlaws That's one horrific accident. Hard to watch. :( Hopefully he'll be alright.

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today Took it to the local car show/cruise. It's the first time my wife had driven it. Needless to say, she loves it. We had quite a few people walking through asking questions and the usual, "haven't seen one of these in YEARS!". The custom S10 crowd...

I do not know who the seller is but thought I'd pass this along: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/5146779481.html Are they for a Sy/Ty? One of the experts on here should be able to clarify. Seems like a TON of money but I'm not up on prices on such things. Looks like a Chinese ebay turbo...

Re: Street outlaws I just assumed it monitored rolling speed version driveshaft speed? And then ramped up boost (and/or timing?) as traction allowed? It's incredible science. I need to make time to read more about it. I can see why it costs so much. Such technology is a "must have" if you...

Re: Street outlaws How else can a person put 2000+HP to the ground on a 275 drag radial? Or what is it now......3000-4000HP on 315's? It boggles my mind how effective those systems are at making all this happen in 4-4.5 seconds at speeds reaching WELL into the 190MPH range in a distance of...

Re: Street outlaws And from everything I've read about Larry, he's a very modest, quiet, methodical guy. Thus his success! No drama or attitude and always willing to help a fellow racer at events.

Re: Street outlaws I'd LOVE to pull up a lawn chair in your shop and polish off many many beers as you elaborate on what you've seen and experienced! Watching "street racing" has gotten positively addictive since turbos have taken over. I've been into 2.2 Dodge, Buick T-Type Regal...

Re: Street outlaws You got it, Jimmy. That's why turbos and the ability to control boost electronically have totally revamped the world of racing. I love the top end charge of these monsters. The 275 guys are my heros. The science required to launch soft enough to not annihilate the tires...

Re: Street outlaws You hit the nail on the head, Brassmonkey! So....... We've basically established that not only do you need a mountain of cash to be successful, you need limitless free time for testing, tuning, breaking, repairing, upgrading, travel and it's expenses, etc., etc.. Not a...

Re: Street outlaws Mind boggling numbers...... Engine alone? About $74,990 http://www.prolineracing.net/engines/plr-670ci-4000-hp Turbo set-up isn't exactly what Proline offers but here's a number to go by-$31,550: http://www.prolineracing.net/efi-packages/plr-4000hp-twin-turbo-efi-package...

Re: Street outlaws "The Crow" and "Murder Nova" are both demented money cars. Makes everyone else on the "list" seem like blue collar "affordable" cars. LOL Even Farm Truck went off the deep end last season. Now it has a double throwndown, big inch, big $$$ nitrous engine. But that's...

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today I drove it to work, ran a few errands, came home and gave it a bath. :tup:
