I figured it would make for some good discussion and bring back a few memories.

Here is one of my toys from a few years ago. Had to sell it before it was finished to keep my son out of it.

It wouldn't be the first time I've been smoked

I once pulled up next to an s-10. Looked stock, sounded stock. Busted my butt. Ends up it had a syclone drive train, with a stock s-10 body. 21lbs of boost. Ran mid 11's. I learned my lesson that day..

I've been wanting to build a 2000ish s-10 with a fresh 6.0 ls-2. I saw one at a show a while back and it was perfect. It sounded like a cadillac at idle, looked like a 4 cyclinder with the hood down. Had single exhaust in the stock location. I mean nothing was different about it, except the drivetrain.

Was it one of them Cyclone S-10's, or whatever it is there called. Them guys up Hi-Tech Racing Engines have a couple of them S-10's that are BAD TO THE BONE...

Yeah, it was a Syclone engine, with a powerglide trans, and rear wheel drive instead of AWD, and it was in a stock looking s-10. Not the Syclone body with ground effects, rims, lowered, etc.

Them Syclones are mean. If I'm not mistaken the guys at Hi-Tech won the Syclone Nationals or somethin like that. It's on their website but I don't remember what it is. Google Hi-Tech Racing Engines if you wanna find the site.

They have held the world record a few times with their syclone. McCoy can ONLY build turbo syclones. He's messed up more cars than I'd care to even talk about.. including my buddies $150,000 camaro. Which is why they've been sued about 25 times now

No.

My buddy's camaro is a 1969 RS/SS 396 L-78/L-89 with factory ALUMINUM heads. Its got every single option except for the JL-8 rear disc brakes.

396/375 horse aluminum heads
m-22 rockcrusher trans
3.73 positrac
rallye wheels
f70's
rosewood stearing wheel
houndstooth interior
power windows
console WITH guages
deluxe seatbelts
Vinyl top
Chambered exhaust
headlight washers
hidden headlights

No expense spared. Paid about $35ish canadian for it in 1999. Turned down $90 in 2005. Now worth about $140-150.

Its an amazing piece of work. 1 of 1 with the options.
