Greeting Gentleman...important noobie questions

I'm looking to get a Syclone.....i need some help in understanding there weak points and what a good used Sy would cost me... i want it looking good...and running well with moderate mods. I'm turbo savy even though my sig suggests n20 guy....the lsx engines just love the gas.


i'd like to pruchase a sy int he 14- 16,5 range...that needs little in the way of resto.
moderate correct mods and the ability to run 1.5 60' as my Auto GTO runs them...(stall, MT drag springs, knoni's)

the GTO's i have are like the GN.. going fast with class.....but an awd truck..capable of 11 flat is what i'm lookig for. i have my own turbo guru...making 700whp Srt4's
and am familiar with the Sy tranny.

i ask humbly.... i'm an older guy...

it must be clean, look good...and have no issues.... interior in good condition....
als i want to run 11 but the Sy i can modify.....anyone interested must be well maintaned. pm me ater the sale price i intend to alot 4k for mods. brakes suspension and turbo upgrade...as welllas stall and tranny mods.

Nowadays, 14-16k would buy you a nice Sy.

Weak points include tranny, fuel pump, prop shaft, front suspension compenents, etc. I'm sure others will add to the list. I'm a "shower" not a "goer" so I'll leave the technical stuff to others.

Fun trucks though...certainly capable of 11's.

Agreed, you should be able to find a mint one for that price range! Good luck with the search!

Welcome,

weak points.. as mentioned above

-Transmission
-propshaft
-fuel pump (easy upgrade)
-stock dashboard boost gauge is never right
-motor mounts
-cladding is expensive

again like mentioned above. in the market right now. that price range would buy you a nice clean mid-low miles truck.

Syclones + for less weight - for less people room
Typhoons, the opposite


Good Luck.
