It's funny, back in the 90's my GMC Syclone ran 1.6 - 60ft times and 12.3 on a turbo V6. The truck was modded but everything was done through the EPROM and exhaust. That little fart would spin all four wheels at launch.Track/Location = Hobbs, NM
1/4 Mile Time/MPH = 12.5599 @ 107.42
Year / Model / Trim = '22 TRX Level 2
Date = 3/18/22
Tires = Stock
Mods = All Stock, including spare tire, floor mats, 3/4 Tank of fuel, etc.
Track Conditions = Temps in the low 40's F, 3-5 mph cross breeze, 3622' elevation

I only recently realized how quick the Syclones were. I remember seeing sub 300 HP numbers, and always assumed they were overhyped for their era. This video gave me a new appreciation for the syclone.It's funny, back in the 90's my GMC Syclone ran 1.6 - 60ft times and 12.3 on a turbo V6.

Back when GM was progressive........not regressive like they are today.I only recently realized how quick the Scyclones were. I remember seeing sub 300 HP numbers, and always assumed they were overhyped for their era. This video gave me a new appreciation for the scyclone.

Sport mode turns traction control off.is there a transmission tune that helps? i have a 2.85 upper and running 15-16 psi boost, but i cant stop wheel spins and the traction control coming on for an instant ?
not all the way off theres still a "nanny" in the background and when the tires spin she kicks in,,,,,Sport mode turns traction control off.
Are you locking the rear diff?is there a transmission tune that helps? i have a 2.85 upper and running 15-16 psi boost, but i cant stop wheel spins and the traction control coming on for an instant ?
Maybe Baja mode. I know when off roading in Baja mode it will blow the tires completely off.not all the way off theres still a "nanny" in the background and when the tires spin she kicks in,,,,,
NO,,,, never thought about thatAre you locking the rear diff?
I doubt it has to do with locking the rear differential. If you are in Sport Mode and feel the truck hesitate after spinning, what you are feeling is likely the FSO (Fuel Shutoff), which is part of the torque management system. You can have your tuner turn it off if they are comfortable with making those kind of adjustments. It will make a night and day difference, however it can be a little harder on the transmission given the weight of the truck.NO,,,, never thought about that![]()
