It's the 3.8...same one that was in the GN.

@@WhistleTeets85 the original is a 4.3 just like a it's brother the tryphoon

@@WhistleTeets85 nope, not a 3.8, not the same engine. Not close at all. The thing that made this truck special is the fact that nothing special is on it. But it all works well. Live axle, awd system from a van, tb from a Corvette and an 18g turbo. Nothing special at all. Yet the result was special.

@@WhistleTeets85 lol get schooled

@MAD GRUMPYMAN 4.3s are great engines.This one is an Aluminum 4.3 block.

Same here

Same!!!

have you seen the c10 video. if not check it out it's on drive

I revisit every 4 or so months.

+William Neigum Theres alot of C-10 videos. Which one?

Yes thank you typhoon the properly set up one blinged out beats any escalade Or navigator as sexy as the body styles have progressed

Honald Trinton , and pass everything but gas stations..

And it did that very well

Yeah....I love their scooter races.... Pretty impressive

yeah, and i keep coming back to check and see if anyone found the name of this song... seriously, come on internet.

It's probably that royalty-free generic stock stuff. Shazam wouldn't recognize it nor would the google play music widget.

McBango Right there with you, LET'S GET A LINK FOR THE TUNE, TY!

Here due to inspiration for my 4.3

MAN I AGREE WITH YOU 100 PERCENT!! TO ME PUTTIN A V-8 IN A SYCLONE MAKES IT NOT A SYCLONE ANYMORE..ITS LIKE PUTTIN A 4 CYL IN A FORD LIGHTNING AND STILL CALLIN IT A LIGHTNING.. HEH

tyeson85 CAPS LOCK WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR THIS POST!!!!

why not just switch to Geico and switch 15% on your insurance while you're at it?

History, if you watch any history on this thing, its the perfect sleeper.

justforever96 , could have used a 1st gen s10 with zq8 suspension and bravada awd and left that one a true syclone

inspector13jjf You are welcome!

Matlock Wallace build it now with grown money. Lol.

@303StreetMachines Syclone AND Lightning, niceeee

.

I STILL WANT 1🤗🤗🤗🤗

@@InfluentGlobe9 U HAVE BOTH MY FRIEND 🤔😑🤔😑

Buddy an LS is the this truck needs....

Glad he kept the 3.8 turbo6. It just wouldn't be a cyclone without it. Same with the GN.

Whistle Teets my gn got a ls1turbo now its way faster and better what u mean

@@WhistleTeets85 what? 3.8 turbo6? Syclones and Typhoons didn't come stock with 3.8L's they came stock with a 4.3L V6 that GM slapped a turbo system onto, and AWD system from the Bravada SUV. Faster then a Ferrari and a GN.

Nice

GMC Syclone (5.0 Mustang killer) '90s legend that'll smoke ur !@#$, lol

No that's what women who are into tuners do to great vehicles.

Yes, coming from one of fellow subscribers here

Nice! And I casted this video up to my TV, for that BIG look.

+Benjamin Kenney same engine

Yeah I know, just made me think of it

+theduderski what's the engine?

+Sam Markstrom 4.3 v6

Yeah they both had the 4.3s but the rotson has a 7.3powerstroke turbo

+Owen “cashmoney” Hoover craft full of eels & wheels huh...i saw that 2....& glassless mirror...lol

Looks more like Paul Ruud.

That's because a V8 swap is so easy.

The stock fuel injection system in these trucks in certain years is their downfall. With the spider injection (center sequential) injectors were not able to be swapped and thus the max one could obtain was around 400hp max with correct tuning. Later years used the multiport which solved this issue, but before that the only way was to swap to a marine intake and run an after market system. Also the 4.3 Z code engines were also multi-point in an era of throttle body injection, thus allowing them to stretch the limits when matched with the td06.

+NoypiTheWhiteBoy Loved that movie!

This is right out side of Reno nevada

@@anthonypacheco1475 correct the road he was driving on was the one from Dayton, Nevada to Virginia City, Nevada. Adam lives up the street from me.

thsoe big displacement gm v6s my friend haha. they sound so ANGRY 😈

It really is mean

probably did it similiar to a Fiero where they run under the truck along the frame rails.

Donnie Oneill because the bald guy is a douche

Lightning owners 😂

+Quadrider250 yes it's gage

+Quadrider250 Small world

+insanitystudio loser

why u do dis

Henry Windsor I wanna know too!

Reagan

Working on adding that capability as we speak!

I would help but I have no flux capacitor sorry

Viscous coupled all wheel drive.

ok wow no wounder is handles surprisingly good

.

Oh come on, you can't shit on ALL american vehicles (besides the syclone)

Every time I get around to getting the truck ready for paint, I need to modify something else from a functional standpoint. On second thought a race track can be pretty brutal to a nice paint job.

HighPerformanceTruck Cool build man. Great to see people doing unique stuff. Every week I feel the comments section is full of people who don't understand the premise of the show, so don't pay too much heed to the haters. I like the rough and ready look; going fast makes everything look cool anyway.

Vary true just my opinion this is your truck?

PainEditz Totally understand. Yes my fast pig.

HighPerformanceTruck Amazing build :) i love it tho so different shoot if u lived close id pay u to help me build a car

FR-based AWD?

JD I think he meant Rear wheel drive biased AWD system...

JD FR = Front-engine, Rear wheel drive. FR based AWD examples include the GT-R, BMW AWD cars, AWD Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, AWD/4WD trucks and Truck based S/CUVs. You take out the Front wheel drive components of an AWD vehicle and it is still a RWD vehicle. FR based AWD cars are fairly uncommon becasue of the prevulence of FF, Front engine, Front wheel drive, cars to which AWD is often added after the fact, like the Ford Fusion, Mitsubishi Lan Evo, among others.. Purpose made FF-Based AWD cars include most AUDIs and Subarus.

vix121 Nope. "based". FR-based AWD... If you take out the Front wheel drive components of an AWD vehicle, it can still function just easily as a RWD, as a FF-Based AWD will function as a FWD with the RWD components removed. FR based cars are uncommon because there aren't many FR cars this is done to, these days. But FR-Based AWDs still occur, like the GT-R and BMW and Mercedes AWD versions of their RWD cars. CHRYSLER and GM have similar offerings but there are desperately few Purpose made FR based AWD cars.

Nobody would buy them, look at the GTO.

The word "season" is simply being used by /Drive and co. to organizing specific a specific period of time. Meaning that their current run of /Tuned has come to a closed, and will be replaced by /Big Muscle, in all likelihood.

but.. but season sounds cool.

Drive is the channel. Tuned is the show. The show that runs in seasons, just like TV.

But it's not.. XD

vitto must you be petulant ? ... just enjoy it for what it is

Phillip Tunstall lol utes..some of us already knew that one & we have NASCAR pickup racing for some reason

been down under for a lil while, got in a V8 ute, still shiting my pants 5 years later

weve been racing puck up trucks forever.... pick ul truck is what you koalas call ute

Krevin Grard el camino (68-70) is my favorite car but its technically a truck...

Krevin Grard guess that makes since

500hp to four wheels is quite a bit. Possible conservative tuning?

As I mentioned previously below the truck had roughly 110k miles on it when we decided to go all out. If I get the urge, I can buy a low mile collectible Syclone, park it, look at it, never drive it and hope it appreciates in value some day. The 4.3L aluminum block is now out of production, but once upon a time it was offered by the GM Performance division. It is what is known as their a Bowtie racing block designed to be stronger to handle higher horsepower levels along with better oiling passages designed for higher loads and rpms. 500 horsepower to the wheels is plenty for a 3000 lb truck used primarily for road racing. Keeping the engine reliable and the truck drivable is crucial. Even with the all wheel drive and sticky R compound tires, this much power can still spin all four tires!

Andrew B Exactly! Tuned conservatively for longevity! No interest in building a 1000 hp dyno queen by swapping in a giant lethargic turbo, monster fuel injectors, overly aggressive timing and ultimately having to rebuild the motor all too frequently.

HighPerformanceTruck Very cool truck. Some people don't understand the money involved in building/maintaining a high power vehicle. Currently working on a 06' Subaru WRX while we drive the 2011 wrx :)

HighPerformanceTruck Neat, don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to dog your awesome creation. This truck tickles me in all the right places. Just my style of modification too! (love the Alum 4.3L) I guess I'm just one of those people who doesn't like modding limited editions. lol I think this bothers me even more since I like the truck so much. Two sides of my brain fighting!
