What's worth more to you?

Re: What's worth more to you?

I know it is tuned fat to insure no detonation on top of the Methanol.

I interpret that statement as it runs rich and needs a tune. (Or its untuned for methanol). I obviously have never drive or logged your truck, so I could be completely interpreting your words wrong.

These trucks can be finicky to get running right even when stock, adding mods just makes that much more difficult especially for an owner new to syty's. Many people get over their heading with tuning portion of them and just give up. A modified truck needing tune IMO drastically reduces the price. The mods just add another variable and add potential of the mods themselves done improperly and the potential of the motor being damaged. A rich running truck can blow the motor as well.

Yea i probably just didnt get the words out right. The fuel pump had been changed from a 255 to a 340 and the fuel pressure hadnt been adjusted to compensate for it. I has just been sitting since alot of the stuff has been done. IMO i dont see how anyone can say that a A/A IC and an exhaust system are mods that damage the engine both of those mods cool engine and turbo temps down and dont neccesarily need tuning for. The turbo that is on it now well its running stock boost levels actually under cause i read that stock boost is 14lbs and this one is only set at 12lbs with the adjustable wastegate. There is nothing that is being pushed on here. The turbo,ic,exhaust are all just better efficiency mods when they are not being turned all the way up or hot rodding the s#*# out of them. This maybe my first syty.. but far from my first forced induction hot rod though, it wasnt set rich on purpose just parked after mods were done and went onto another project.

ABSOLUTELY STOCK LOW MILE TRUCKS SELL FOR MORE MONEY
with very few exceptions.
Both trucks Typhoons and Syclones have the same approximate value.
Either truck in mint low mile condition and lots of providence will command impressive selling prices in the 15-25K range.

For those of you who enjoy trying to make a drag strip winner out of this high performance PERSONAL LUXURY TRUCK FILL YOUR BOOTS.

There is a large percentage of owners who have bone stock trucks,and simply enjoy the performance that the vehicle was built to deliver.
Most of the guys who modify are active on this site.
To assume that EVERYONE wants to mod their truck is simply wrong.:roll:
The guys who want stock mint low mile trucks are simply buying or selling them and not broadcasting their purchase or sale price.

Re: What's worth more to you?

I purchased mine with everything was done to it already. I didnt purchase mine to race to dragstrip... i have had my fill of that along time ago. It was really a purchase from always wanting one and i knew the conditon of this one and the owner i planned on doing collectors item and shows with it really. But after just a short ownership i have decided with my job i just dont have any use for it or any vehicle personally with having an oilfield job and oilfield truck. Just taking up space and it was a quick rash decision i made becasue i didnt want anyone else to swoop it up from me. Oh Well live an learn.
