I don't think it really matters anymore, 02vortech blew his motor and hasn't been active since 2006-2007.

the Syclone and Typhoon's were GMC only, no Chevy's were made. i know they're the same truck (GMC/Chevy) just correcting who it was that released the killer trucks.

UR50SLO is an unknown quantity at this point

I didn't realize that this was a dug up thread.. sorry!

Our Sy/Ty exhaust manifolds/Marine intake setup has almost 30,000mi on it now and
165,000mi on stock engine.
1998 GMC 4dr 4wd Jimmy. Ran 14.40's@93mph on 9psi on pump gas in 4wd.

Tune is the key!
Yep..all GMC Sy/Ty's.

Brett posted it in one thread about some guy wanting to turbo his Blazer. 02Vortech was the only guy known to the forum with the rear-mount setup, and he said he puked it.

He didn't run the sy/ty setup just because of $$$ restrictions.

that would be great to see. i gonna make my '92 Jimmy in to a 4 door version, but i couldn't find a 4WD 5 spd that would handle the power, and gave up on it. it woulda been sick, i had the front and rear bumpers, was in the process of stretching the side flares to fit the 4 door, definately would've been a "one off".
on another note Unlimitedsp, did you get my PM the other day? i haven't heard from you.........
