any (AWD) typhoons in the 10's???

ghettosled · Dec 25, 2001

$2k for the assembly and complete install is a GREAT deal.

As for the 13sec comment. I have not witnessed another stokes truck run 13s, b/c honestly I dont think there are many that even run at all. My point was an exageration and basically, it doesnt matter what you have in the motor if you dont have the engine management and tune to go with it. I think now you understand this. However, with your truck being so close to Chicago, I would have dropped it off at Greens house instead.

As for the TT stuff. Alot of my customers have benefited from second hand parts that saved them TONS of money. Back in the day people payed $30k for complete motors. The TT conversion probably costs around $6k. Then the motor to go with it. Mine has gone 131mph on 15psi and a 1.86 60ft.

As for the AWD, I dont think anyone would purposely buy a syty to make it 2wd. However, many started with the AWD and became attached to that particular vehicle. When they realized how much power it soaks up and how many parts they were breaking, it only made sense to go RWD. Personally, all i care about it going fast. And I have yet to run into a street car yet, be it awd/fwd/4x4, etc that has been a challenge

Definitely good advice here, especially when the story is being told how they are doing AWD burnouts in your truck when you're not around...and baselining the truck with the DFI when you are switching to SP, why the hell would you baseline with the old engine management system? What a tard...

Despite how I feel about AWD I'd have to agree with Mike, how many people in the past bought a SY or TY with the intent of going RWD. At some point you realize how much time and money you have into your truck and that you can go significantly faster at the track minus the AWD. I stayed AWD because I am crazy enough to do so and I have a great drivetrain guy. Hopefully with my upgrades: 4L80e, all gear X-Fer Case, big driveshafts, and a 9 inch rear end I will be able to really push it consistently without breaking. If small parts break no big deal, if bigger parts break I will have to seriously consider RWD. What would be really slick would be an electronically controlled X-Fer case which could shift you from AWD to RWD, granted the parts are still rotating but it should soak up less power...

They didn't think they were going SP until after Dave requested it.

Still no one answered the original question... which is has anyone gone 10's in a Ty.

The answer is - within the Sy/Ty community that we know - ie SyTy.org , SyTy.net , message boards , and mailing list - NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVE A 10 SECOND PASS IN A TYPHOON AWD. At least 2 Syclones have done 10.9x passes. And I know of 2 others that have run 11.0x times...

Not impossible - just not done yet..if a Ty is about 400 lbs heavier - and shorter wheelbase - would require about 600 hp at the wheels to run the 10.x number. May get by with a little less if it hooks...

Guest · Dec 26, 2001

thanks dude :smile:

jwaller · Dec 26, 2001

in my opinion if you yank the AWD, yank the AC and Heater then you have a race truck and it might as well be a S-15. dont get me wrong I love to see Jerry and Dean hauling tail in 2wd but, It's not a sy or a ty. It's an S-15 with ground effects....so thanks for all the R&D and thanks for helping us go faster but you're driving a S-15 not a syty....now the hovers truck thats closer but it's still boarderline syty BC it's AWD, although no AC and heater.

Guest · Dec 26, 2001

i agree with jwaller 100%

Guest · Jan 7, 2002

so there isnt any AWD typhoons in the tens then?

smeagol · Jan 7, 2002

Claims, but no proven ones with slips.

Jeff MIddaugh says he has done it, haven't seen a run or slips. The typhoon C came with a slip (in Washingtno I believe) but they haven't run a 10 with it.

Not being a doubter, the trucks may be capable, but it takes some tweaking & tuning to get to 10s, however much power you make.

Didn't Hoover and Lavy make side by side 10.9X passes at the Nats a couple of years ago? Plus Peter's makes three. And what about Peter in Sweden? I believe that's four. And there are a couple more kicking around that will almost surely get to the tens this upcoming season.

Guest · Jan 7, 2002

i said Typhoon not syclone ;P

ALBERTAN · Jan 7, 2002

Read what I quoted. :razz: :wink:

tyndago · Feb 15, 2002

Hoover ran 10.6 . Guy ran 10.9 .Brian ran 11.0 . Someone else ran 11.0 . Peter ran 10.9.

All Syclones....no Typhoons.

RWD Typhoons - couple in the 10's - 9's....

Irid · Feb 15, 2002

Damn, where's that KB 10 Second chip when you need it ;-P

131mph Mike? Damn. I want a ride.

Lew · Feb 20, 2002

Hey Ryan!
What are you running for a front differential?
Any reason for not beefing that up and maybe with an 8.5" and Air-locker??
My TT has the 9" Ford rear and the 4L80E (someday!) but I am worried about the front.
:smile:

SPiN · Feb 20, 2002

I believe Ryans has the NP205 t-case with an in cab shifter for 4 high, 4 low, and 2 high.

I believe he is ust using the two high to heat those rears up for a launch.

Ryan?

You are correct Mr.Spin, in cab shifter for 2HI 4LO and 4HI. Not sure about the whole launch scenario as everything has been changed so its still up in the air. Hope all is well with you.

LEW very good question and the answer is YES. No really, we want to see what it can do. Had a bad case of UPGRADEITIS :wink: But there is an alternative plan...there are plenty of stronger units out there we'd just have make sure it would fit/make it fit...I don't think you'd want a locker in front unless you only drive in a straight line a quarter mile at a time :wink: maybe a partial locker? We should all learn a lot about drivetrains this coming year, I will definitely keep you all posted as to how it goes.

92Ty · Feb 21, 2002

There's a Green/gray Ty from Virginia that ran 11.4 with everything (full interior, AC, sound system,....). The plate is CARNAGE I think. It's AWD too.

Lew · Feb 21, 2002

Hey Ryan:
The reason I suggested an AIR Locker is so that it can be unlocked when one is driving normally---if that ever happens in a TT Sy.
The Air-Locker doesn't fit in our standard 7.5" front differential but will fit in an 8.5" GM unit if the unit can be made to fit without destroying the geometry.

I would definitely like to hear about realistic alternatives for the front differential. What does your drivetrain expert suggest?
