    Speed-O-Motive Crate Engines

    Has anyone ever used one of the Speed-O-Motive 4.3L in their Typhoon/Syclone?? Here is a link to the engine that Im talking about: http://www.speedomotive.com/4.3%20chevy%20v-6%20street%20master.htm I guess my question is this: If you were ever to blow your engine, can you buy that 4.3 and put...

    Free mods???

    Be careful with cutting off the exhaust, though. You dont want to go overboosting and blowing the engine.

    2nd kill this week! Exteme, now SHO

    Hey man, give the SHO some credit. Ill admit, the thing went WAY downhill in 1996 when Ford killed the MTX trans and threw in that dogpile V8. But the V6 SHO's were really nice cars, even if they weren't drag race demons. But thats not what they were intended for. I happen to have a 92 SHO right...

    Stock Wastegate

    I just got the Applied Technologies Stage 1 kit put on my Typhoon as well as a boost guage (finally). So anyways, if I punch it from a roll, it tends to overboost like it will shoot up to about 20psi which I know is way too much for the stock engine. Is there anyway to adjust the wastegate or...

    Indiglo Guages

    Hey guys, I know a number of you were interested in EL GLO/indiglo guages for you SyTy's and I found a site that will make them with only 15-20 people signing up as opposed to the like 100 or whatever required by NR Auto or whoever. The site is http://www.speedhut.com and they claim that with...

    Tires?

    What do you guys recommend as far as tires for the Typhoon? Right now I have a set of 225/55/16 Goodyear Eagle RS-A's all around (parents did this) so theyre obviously a lot smaller than stock. I dont personally really like them and am thinking about getting a new set soon. What do you all...

    How to make a Ty handle better?

    Hey guys. I was wondering, what can I do to make this truck handle a bit better? I mean, I dont want to spend a fortune on it but like it tends to wander too much and doesnt respond much to small steering wheel input. Now, I know this is no sports car and its not intended to be but is there...

    Kicked a SHO's ass

    My friend has a black 91 Taurus SHO. Real nice car. Dynoed at 200.4 FWHP so its definitely quick. I still managed to slaughter him in the phoon though. No contest. First 0-60 and then again 40-85. Fun times :grin: I gotta give respect to the SHO's though, sweet cars. My family has had 3 (we...

    why does top end suck on these trucks

    Well this truck wasnt exactly made to be some sort of highway battling car. If you want that, buy a BMW. I dont know about you, but Ive NEVER lost a 0-60 race with this thing. 60-90 or so, thats a different story. It does hold up pretty damn well though for being such a brick.
