Want a trans am?

lol....I've often thought about what I would trade the Syclone off for. And I've actually had some serious offers. But If I was going to trade it off for anything....it would have to be something pretty cool and already at least a 10 second daily driveable machine. I'm always open to ideas....just depends on what's out there..... I really appreciate y'alls interest though. Even if they are sarcasm or jokes....lol

Oh hell I have a spitfire I'll trade you. Hell its still in your name LOL

Dave, Bryn has a good trade for you. That spitfire should run a ten. Bryn , when you posting some pics of that thang? That's one cool " little" car!

lol...yea....something tells me I shouldn't be trading the Syclone off for a car I gave you in the first place. Just doesn't sit right. No matter how bad ass that thing will be......lol

Damn sick ass truck....even if it is a 6 banger LOL Looks very nice. The tires might give something away though?

lol.....yea....that just might work....lol

Well I will be down to trade if u like lol , this car with the ls1 in it ran 11.7 @ 116? Mph (last owner ) now its an ls6 and just needs a little juice for the 10 sec pass u want lol

O and only 50k miles , I put about 150 if that since I got it about 3 months ago, its a sleeper ...

Not a big fan of having to rely on nitrous to give me the power I want. That's why all my rides are turbo'd....lol. I've even got a couple of turbo's that I've been thinking about throwing on my old '96 Impala SS. Just kind of like the idea of having something simple....lol. Your old red SS looked pretty hot.

It look ok but it had a lot of defects , don't really know what was wrong just tranny would never shift right , even after the built tranny. It was a nice car tough , well if u ever want to consider it let me know ... clean truck

Appreciate it.....and will do....

I agree!! What happened to the guy with the Grand National? It was a sweet 6 banger!

Do you remember what his name was or where he lived. My brother had a pretty bad ass Grand National.....but ended up selling it off to some guy up north and now he's running a 2000 Camaro SS. But his Grand National was fricken mean. As a matter of fact......the only reason I built a six was I thought it would be cool for the brothers to run turbo 6's. Yea yea....I know.....stupid reason....lol. It's ok though. My six was built right.....spared no expense. Makes me sick to think of how much went in to that system. I'm sure it won't disappoint. But if I ever break it....I will be going back with a twin turbo V8 instead. That's for sure.

I believe he is talking about Marvin.

Yeap....then that was definitely a bad ass car. It's a damn shame he got rid of it. Was an extremely impressive 6!

Now the main things that I'm still waiting to get off the above list are the billet 4L80e parts and billet stall, the G-Body rear end, the Bell Intercooler, getting the rear suspension done, getting the exhaust in and getting the custom fuel cell done and in. These are some of the key updates that I plan on hitting this thread with later. Here are a couple of pics of the motor before it actually went into the truck. I like these because I use to think "Man, what a work of art".......lol. And unfortunately it just seems to lose that in the engine bay. Once I get the system fully functional and enjoy for a while....I'm sure I'll pull it all back apart and really work on the asthetics of the whole truck.












I remember when I took these pics....I was thinking that there's no way that thing is going to fit in the truck....lol. Sorry, these were from my cell phone.

Man it looks like you have alot of work to do before you are done. LOL

You're right.....!! What was I thinking. I should just drop this for a while and jump on the Impala SS.....lol.

Face it that little o V6 scared the piss out of you. How are you going to handle yours.

It's called All Wheel Drive baby.....All Wheel Drive and a whole lot of tire..... :-)

That still don't add up, twice the tire three times the power. Just releave yourself before you set that puppy on kill lol.

Sick....add two more cylinders and that's shit your self for sure. LOL Looks like you've done it right for sure. So tiny of a motor, but I'm sure it's going to scream..

Yeap....two more cylinders would be nice, if anything for the sound. But I'm not worried about the power. There are a number of guys turning 1000+hp on there bowtie V6 builds....and a number of Syclones that run 9.90's and faster. All out of their "little" V6's. The number 1 Syclone currently runs 8.80's. All done with a bowtie V6 build in a full weight supposedly street driven Syclone. Now I'm not saying that I'll achieve those kind of numbers.....but I'll damn sure have the power to do it.....lol. I'm sure it will be quite some time before I can even work up the nuts to go all out on this truck. But I hope to have a lot of fun trying....lol
