The last time I saw the truck was in 2007 at the Sy Ty Homecoming and Chad was the owner.

Knock yourself out. I came across these trying to help Marty find the VIN. Must be a hell of a ride!

Here is a video of the truck running at Bandimere Speedway (5800'). It leaves the line near the 1.00 minute mark.

Re: TT v8 Syclone Black Death
Wasn't there another video of him at a Buick meet where he basically spanked everyone at the meet? They finally ended up beating him with some pro-street Buick that was there. If I remember correctly, the track was slightly up hill too.

Isn't this the same truck that everyone bashed and called the owner stupid when it was first being built? Then when the results got posted everyone was on his nuts?
Just wondering if this is that one. It went 9.55 or something on a stock rear and transfer case

Re: TT v8 Syclone Black Death
I don't remember any bashing but at the same time 5 years ago v8 trucks were not as well liked and done as they are today.
When I built my ty (or started to), only a handful of public v8 trucks with turbo's were around. Today that # is probably 4+ times that and almost common.
I think this truck is one of the reasons for that change.

Re: TT v8 Syclone Black Death
it was bashed when it was first built, 3 or 4 owners ago, becuase it was carbed and everyone thought it was stupid to go the blowthrough route.
when it proved powerful, people started to up. thankfully its injected now, becuase who the hell wants to tune a carb when you can just sit there with a laptop and make adjustments instead.

Re: TT v8 Syclone Black Death
I think its odd that such an interesting and cool truck has changed hands so many times.
Did Eric Crouch own this truck at one point or was he associated with it? Anyone know?

The truck was built on a budget. The syclone's drivetrain fell apart on the 2nd and 3rd owners. The motor, trans, rear end were all replaced due to failure.
