10 sec Typhoon vs LS1

[05EVORS]

its lighter than a new camaro or gto..people are surprised at these trucks its cause they are light and awd..boxiness/aero has less to do w it than weight/traction

[nitrors4rtr3evo]

Nice very nice run

[SirtubalotTX]

Very nice.. I've always loved these and the Cyclones. I'm not sure what stock tranny comes in these but do they hold up pretty good? I've seen one with a 4L80 swapped into it.

[BLACKLACDTS]

was this typhoon down ocean city maryland last weekend?

[FIREDELL10]

Dom!! I think we found your 10 second car that you asked for!!

[AmazinKC]

I got a 89 GMC S15 Gypsy, I have put a drop kit on the front end, and am running 16" I'ROC2 rims, but I was wondering if my 5.7L 350 convert to a 383 stroker would be too much, or if I should just stick with the 4.3L v6. Either way I am going to toss in a ram air turbo.. she should have 700hp... I will post vids after I have got her painted.

[powerbrakeservice]

I am with Power Brake Service, we do performance brake upgrades and we need to get ahold of any of the Typhoon, Syclone, turbo GM trucks of that era to do a video of. Turbos rob vacuum from the brake booster and we retrofit hydraulic brakes to solve that. Check out my page to see what we did with a Turbo Buick and a T-bird SC, we've done the Turbo GM trucks before, but want to do a video to show clients how to install it, please let me know of somebody in the community in Southern California.

[windedv6]

262ci GM Bowtie V6 with Brodix heads and a 72mm turbo.

[frostbytey]

jesse team evil laredo tx

[redfoxtrident]

@elrances yeah but v8 is better for drag

[redfoxtrident]

@elrances sounding from the engine its a v6

[HAIONSTRESS]

SICK!!! man i watched it twice, those trucks really haul ass. when i watch it i always get the same impression. like holy shit that was a good 60' and 1/8th mile.. but the truck is going to get reeled in. then it just keeps pulling on the back half! what amazing vehicles

[windedv6]

@HAIONSTRESS

Thanks for the comment. I have another Typhoon that I converted the chasis to 2WD and is 900lbs lighter. It runs on e85. There are some maiden shakedown run videos (on youtube) when we where tuning it last fall. Lookup - John Gerber 2WD Typhoon TT V6 Tuning with E85- or just type in - gerber e85- and it should come up. These are great trucks! I had the AWD one you see here since 1994. It only has around 13k miles on it.

John

[AllAlaskan907]

I want one.

[mycurse67]

it still doesnt look as cool as a camaro tho...

:P

[mazda6tuner99]

that sounds like an sts turbo kit

[windedv6]

No sts kit. It's a 72mm PTE turbo.

[mazda6tuner99]

nice,

[TamiyaRunner]

I absolutely love the takeoff sound of the Typhoons/Syclones. Amazing

[6irondriver]

That's no sht. That turbo spools up and you might as well save your gas 'cause that thing is a monsta yo.

[BODUKE320]

its the boost sound ;)

[78blackbird]

nice sounding turbo....he didn''t even hard launched the ty and damn its still quick...so in other words never ever fuck with the ty''s and the sy''s

[boss12]

Camaro got beat by an ice cream truck! hahahaha

[xZZxTakedown]

@boss12

That aint no ice cream truck. those Ty's are monsters. They were rated at 280 hp but in reality they made something close to over 300.

[boss12]

@xZZxTakedown Yeah I hella want one of those. I like the Typhoon for having more room, but the Syclone is quicker cuz its lighter

[xZZxTakedown]

@boss12

I'd take either one for a daily driver. I'm gonna be modding the hell out of my SS so it wouldn't be practical for a daily driver anymore lol.

[tucsondog]

@xZZxTakedown anything can be a daily driver ;)

[xZZxTakedown]

@tucsondog

Yes AND no. IMO

[GMCman82]

@xZZxTakedown average is 320 if i remember right

[neurocytohemotoxic]

How much hp does the Typhoon have?

[windedv6]

It has not been on a dyno. The best time thus far as been 10.61et at 135 mph. The Typhoon weights 4,150 lbs with driver and fuel. Most ET/HP calculators give it in the 650 -675 wrhp range. It could be a little more as the AWD takes additional hp vs a 2WD setup that most calculators are setup for.

[neurocytohemotoxic]

That is sick dude!

[timgoesfast]

that turbo sounds sick

[BattleBornJackalope]

Remind me never to take my Syclone against you -.-;; lol sweet keeping the spirit alive!!

[boss12]

hahahahaha that's not even fair

[sirlonghair]

lol I'm kinda a dumb blond but instead of boobs I'v got ears and instead of blond I'm red

[262Blazer]

dang i wish my blazer was that fast

[sirlonghair]

[sirlonghair]

[jessmspencer]

Like the Typhoon more than the Syclone maybe because there more room...these are great rides that few people really know about.

[CUETICO]
