Re: Is a 250 mph Sy/Ty possible?
i've been thinking of this for the past few months. Not going 250 but breaking stock truck record at the salt flats. It seems that syty fall in a few categories. Breaking the current records are certainly duable. Don't be surprised if you see a sy at boneville.

Dont forget, Gale Banks Sidewinder truck ran 222.139 MPH and that is currently the world record holder for fastest pickup truck, so I would venture to say its nearly impossible to get a Syclone to do 250 MPH under any circumstances.

“Jesel Truck-Liner” Sets a New Bonneville Land Speed Record
This August at Bonneville Utah, Jimmy Barton drove the “Jesel-Truck-Liner” to a new land speed record. This unique race team, owned by Wayne Jesel, took their 2005 Dodge Quad Cab Pick-up Truck to a “two-way round trip” record, setting speed of 224.082 MPH at the famous Salt Flats of Bonneville. Running in the C/Modified Pick-Up class, this 5,500 pound vehicle is required by the rules to run a “production body” with only the addition of a front air-dam allowed. The first time out, the team set a record of 203.80 MPH, running with a single four-barrel carburetor. But this was just a shake-down run to see how the truck would handle. The intake manifold was changed, and the record was bumped to 224.082 MPH by using dual four-barrel carburetors on the engine. The basis engine is a Dodge- R5P7 NASCAR design that has be highly modified incorporating many drag racing horsepower tricks, allowing it to run in the 9,000 RPM range

Re: Is a 250 mph Sy/Ty possible?
I think T-56's truck has the record... 186mph I think... but whether that's in that category is negotiable :lol:Maxtor said:

If anyone is willing to try it, I'll have an extra garage space and guest room for you. I am about 2 hours from the Flats.

after seeing the Cuda that Rad RIdes built for the Slat Flats. I would say saftey is a big concern going that fast. I think it's possible to go 250mph in a truck but i'm not sure anyone here is willing to devote that amount of money and time into the project. It's not for the faint at heart.
