Congrats on a monumental accomplishment and obtaining the honor of possessing the fastest Syclone in the world (at least until the Hoovers get back to the track). FWIW, my Sy can run 8's down the 1/4 mile track too.....problem is, it is only a bit past the 1/2 way point when it does so (HAHA).

Congrats Robert!!!!

Your truck seems very smooth compared to other fast trucks. That front suspension is well strapped down and launch is smooth.

The "bastard child" TTV8 is still lifting front suspension and spining the front with limiters. It went a best of 9.04 @ 157 on the 15th at Bremerton, WA.

I have respect for those like you and the hoovers who do their own work and make things happen. I have none for those that open up their checkbook and buy it. trust me I know what it's like to spend the $ to make it go fast and lose motors along the way. I can't even begin to imagine how much I've spent and to build something like roberts truck and the hoovers dwarf mine. respect is to be earned not given.

I wasn't going to ask as I had assumed it was just private info, but now that you mention this, what was the boost and fuel octane used on these runs? What was the max RPM?

I checked on the Syclone.org page like you said, but it still talks about pump gas and a street car with A/C etc., and I can see now the A/C has been removed at least, so it makes me wonder if the rest is still true at this level.

Awesome times for an AWD 4.3L-based V6!!! :D

Re: Good morning! The 8´s is taken!

I can partially answer. Fuel is race fuel I think in 110 range. Robert has asked me to have fuel ready when his truck arrives here, and was not particular on what kind.

Max rpm I think is in 6k range or so.
