Nova vs Deanzsyclone

Driving down main street where I would normaly turn left onto Telepnone and go home but my eye catches a Nova sitting at the light in the straight ahead lane, which is straight onto the onramp of the freeway with a long undisturbed lane shot to play with. The Nova is raised up in in the back for the bigger tires and I see traction bars and then I spot the tiny thin wheels on it's front and huge shift light on the dash, so of course I can't persued my self to simply turn left and go home, oh no I have to line up right behind him and watch him keep looking in his rear view mirror no doubt reading the big red Syclone windshield banner and raised hood staring back at him, along with my big fat smile on my face. ;)

Light goes green and he jumps on it a bit, looks in his doors rearview mirror again and see's all the traffic behind him is gone except that damn Syclone truck which is still on his butt. So now he floors it, all the while I'm giving it some gas but have to keep letting off. I think he gave up after he looked back for a second time and I'm still right there, no doubt the waste gate constantly disharging indicating release of foot pedle didn't help his confidence any. yah, it's that loud. :rotf:

We both take the next off ramp and we stop for the light, I pull to his right window and he leans accross his girlfriend and sais "damn that's a fast truck" I told him it was only 40/50% throtle! Would of gone around you but the other lanes were taken up, and I didn't want to be to reckless. Maybe the evening would of given me no traffic in which to let her rip but not today, still fun none the less.:tup:

Dean, Did you get a dyno sheet on your motor?

Next thing were doing on the truck is installing huge meth injection setup, I think were flying in Nolan to tune it, then well throw it on the dyno for the tunning session and see what kind of numbers were looking at. The current tunner "Josh Deeds" http://www.deedsperformance.com/
Said that based on his experiance over the years with big HP cars he feels mine is currently around 740Hp. Interesting to see how close he is when we do dyno, but then again the meth will kick it up some or alot.
 

It's just a six

Re: Nova vs Deanzsyclone

Just wondering why you are getting another tunner?
Also, do you plan on taking it to a track?

Goodluck with the dyno flogging!

The current tunner doesn't have the experiance with Methanol like Nolan does. It's Mikes (RPM) idea not mine.

That makes sense. :tup:

How about taking it to a track? Do you intend to run it @ a track?

Track is rather far away, and I won't take that long of a trip untile the Meth is dialed in. I'll post vid and time slip when it does happen.

I was just wondering because I would like to go to a track,but It's kinda boring w/no other Sy/Ty's there.

Well when I do go, if its planned out, I'll make sure to post it well in advance and see if some other syty'rs want to make a day of it.

Re: Nova vs Deanzsyclone

FYI I did some data logging tonight and using the bigstuff 3 software I was able to easily view my 0-60mph time. With my best launch I was able to record a 3.25 seconds to 60mph : )

Damn, 0-60 in 3.25 is as quick as a 2007 911 turbo. My best 0-60 was 3.7, but now I'm running a ball-bearing 60-1 so maybe a little quicker...will have to hook the G-Tech back up. Glad to hear you're finally driving that beast :cool:
