A friend on mine has a syclone with a t76 on it. Its a bad **********er. Motor was built with all top of the line forged parts and the heads are o-ringed to hold up to like 40psi of boost. Worked trans. valve body, high stall converter, etc....



He's hoping for mid 10's :yum:

they have MAJOR potential. small turbo upgrade and the "bolt-ons" and you have a monster....

my friend has a marlboro typhoon ( rarest foons ). the main problem with it is its a truck. last season he was running his old setup and his truck made well over 650 hp. with 3 people on the street it still lifted the front wheels. for this year it is being somewhat redone with more unmentionable power... it has by the the largest turbo ive seen in my life ( if i find the pic of this girl comparing it to the size of her head, ill post it for yall ). theyre awesome trucks, BUT a MAJOR con is they will NOT tow ANYTHING! 0lbs MAX towing load.



one hell've a badass truck
