Jim, What did you notice in the driveline geometry that prompted you to use the wedges. To everyone with the flex-a-forms on a SYCLONE only. Did you notice the ride was bouncier with them? Most of the Typhoon owners reported a nice ride, but they have quite of bit more weight over the rear...

I've debated the added cooling benefit wth the aftermarket hood, but I would try everything else before having to resort to the hood. My underhood temps are well under control anyway. I would consider an underhood ducting of some sort that would transfer the heat away from the engine...

With my slightly lowered springs, I eliminated the wedges altogether. I measured the driveline angle and it's straighter than with the wedges in.

One thing that does concern me is the reactiveness of the fiberglass. I wish someone would make a quality adjustable shock that can properly dampen these lively springs. I have the high pressure Koni gas shocks on the truck now and they are pretty choppy even on the lowest setting.

I've had them for over 40,000 miles and never cracked one! I've done many 1.7X short times and never had a problem. Lots of aggressive cornering and no problem. Ran 12.53@106 on them. The key to keeping them from breaking IMO, is to make sure the springs are properly fitted onto the axles...

I don't want to change the stock appearance. Why would you call it boring? Must every aspect of the truck be raped? I wan't it to appear as it did off the showroom floor.

I was able to run a 13.3@100 on the stock chip. Actually Patrick Dicochea drove it at Bakersfield on that pass. The big factor ONCE ALL DURABLILTY ISSUES WERE ADDRESSED was the ultimate chip and the TC lock up switch. The switch cut 2/10ths off the run and going from version 6 to version 7 on...

Ok. Sounds like the CF hoods are a dud. Anyone make a stock appearing lightweight hood. Fiberglass perhaps? I want the truck to remain the way it looked from the factory. I don't like the cowl induction hoods. They look fine on a tractor puller, but not on a Syclone, IMO. Adam

Brian. You typing way too much for a mad scientist. Just stay behind the closed curtain. I'll keep passing you the sandwiches. Adam :wink: :wink: :wink:

Anyone know of the source for a quality carbon fiber stock appearing hood? Adam Auerbach

IS the new pump a high flow?

When your fuel pump relay activates, do you here the fuel pump prime or even run at all. Sounds like you may have blew a fuse or your pump is dead. Adam Auerbach Sy #2419

The lower exchanger upgrade alone is not enough to lower MATs. The total package is required to get the cooler air into the intake. No matter what is done to the rest of the intercooler system, you still have the small upper IC and there isn't a lot of suface area there to cool the hot air...

I own both a Sy(12.53@106 and a modified Galant VR4. Do not underestimate a properly prepared DSM or GVR4. My Galant is faster than my Sy and kills it on top end. They are different cars when compared to each other. The Sy develops it's power down low in the rpm range. The 4g63 2 .0 DOHC...
