I think Robert dyno'd his syclone when he was in the US. I don't remember the numbers but they weren't as big as I would have expected. IMO the number that really counts is what he ran at the track.

Thread says danimal thinks he can pull an 8 turning it up a notch. Also confirms he really is around 850-870 wheel. Some people thought it was much higher.

That was not a serious dyno. If you're referencing the 7-800whp dyno.

It is much higher,what I said was I only ran it at that level,I still have several hundred hp on tap with the push of a(boost controller)button.Lets not get it twisted,it does have a 8 sec pass in it,with the wick turned up,never once did I say it would go 8's at that level....that being said I agree that 1000awhp would get it done.


not sure what "not a serious dyno" means,care to elaborate?

Yes we did, I was there first hand. We never got a good dyno run as the fans couldn't keep things cool and it was not worth the risk of hurting the motor. So a full pull at power was never made.

Same reason he doesn't have numbers to post, at some level of HP it makes it difficult to get accurate dyno numbers.

I think more important is to run XYZ time you must have everything. Throwing a top fuel motor in my typhoon surely won't make it run 300 miles an hour.

With that said I would guess 1500hp to run in 8's, with the right suspension to go with it all.

There is another big dog who doesn't deliver on the dyno, but does on the track.

Were you on a AWD dyno?

I prefer to measure it in dollars instead of Hp. In that case if staying v6 I'd say north of 60 k.

I was referencing mr syclones low dyno. Not yours, sorry.

Trap speeds are how you tell how much power someone is making in the real world. Dyno's are for bench racers

no worries,took it personal for a second :)

The first time I saw your awd burnout video in front of the shop my draw literally dropped. No disrespect. It's straight nasty. I didn't realize you had more left in it. What's your motor build? Stock with new pistons, ARP rod and head bolts?

I would definately agree with Frank staying v6 well north of 60k

Maybe John Gerber [WindedV6] can give details on his TT 2WD (8.84@154.42) Typhoon: (like)...

-Approximaste Weight with driver
-Approximate HP, TQ (at flywheel or rear wheels)
-Some Street, and Strip "manners" (like fuel requirements, boost, and timing changes required at a track).

Althought if not I understand...(especially since it does things like this):

Right now I would say it costs about 42,500 plus shipping and handling to go 8's in a V6 typhoon. Just open your wallet.

Jeff...you may be right suggesting that John would sell either Typhoon for $42,500 [or thereabouts] but I read his post as both are for sell
with the 10 sec Typhoon at that price (wanting to downsize). Pricing both at the same cost-wise is probably not what he really meant
(but Im not knowledgeable on this topic).





My own estimates say that for Typhoons
  • 13 second builds = $10K
  • 12 second builds = $20K
  • 11 second builds = $30K
  • 10 second builds = $40K
  • 9 second builds = $50K
  • 8 second builds = $60K
But thats just my wild-guess (since labor, parts, maintenace, etc) all play a part, plus making these times "once" differ significantly from "sustaining"these times week after week after week ...:D

...just my :2cents:

That still shot is from the video I shot. Pete (EPIX) and I were there on a T-n-T Saturday.

John's 2WD Ty is another example of beauty meets brawn. I like everything about that truck (except for the turbos ;) ).

The question asked here is the same one I asked in my earlier thread. I have my thoughts, but was looking to see what others felt. Like most threads on syty anymore, the original question gets obfuscated by meaningless banter from internet experts. Maybe that's one of the reasons so many old-school syty guys have moved on...
