TFL TRX Tyrant review

[TangoDown]

Hit the nail on the head! $3K for install AND warranty is key.

I won’t do it though because if I’m going modify, I’ll want to push it more than this.

How much would you push it? What mods?

Ditto. And comfortable limits depend on fuel. I will be running flex (whenever the dealer can replace my damn IC pump first) and so even with just e85 and 2.85 upper you can be in the 875hp range and 15 psi of boost which seems about the sweet spot for longevity on the HC platform.

I’ve really been wanting a Whipple on E85 with IC Chiller

Would be a killer setup. I had the interchiller on my list until I found out there can be some starting issues with it. Another forum member is working through those problems right now. It does seem to be climate driven though and only an issue in humid areas. Condensation collects on the intake valves and the motor sucks water at first and won’t start. Only happens during “warm” starts after the truck has sat for 1-3 hours.

Where would just the 2.85 upper put hp?

Where would just the 2.85 upper put hp?

800-830 depending on 91/93 octane and how aggressive your tune is.

91 with tyrant tune?

91 with tyrant tune?

Not a clue what the tyrant tune is. 800 would be a conservative number. I prefer to underpromise and over deliver. Folks out there have gotten 850 with just the 2.85 upper and 93 octane. So it’s certainly possible to be in the 830 range on 91 octane but there’s just a lot of variation vehicle to vehicle.

I feel like they have been pretty open with their build list, which you can infer performance numbers from, with special consideration for environment variables. In my opinion the target buyer is something that may know enough about these builds to know they want more, but also may not want to get it done on their own and like the idea of a warrantied package. Other than the pivot on the wheel/tire setup (which I think makes sense), I feel like your average informed buyer should know exactly what they are buying and how it will impact the vehicles performance.

Where did you find info on the tire and wheel pivot from what it was originally suppose to be?

Just 3/10 of a second factor in the quarter???

Does the Tyrant package make you give up your 5 year 60k powertrain warranty and replace with the 3rd party, 3yr 36k warranty?

Tyrant with Black Rhino Renos~

So I got a question, is the Tyrant 37 still faster than the regular TRX?

Is the regular Tyrant package faster than the Raptor R?

A Regular Tyrant is faster than a Raptor R.The R is 0.1 to 0.2 faster than a stock TRX. Isn't the tyrant package 787 HP?

The Tyrant 37 pack has 37” tires and a leveling kit. I figured that would slow it down a little bit

Maybe. Do you have anything to back this up?
I happen to have the Tyrant with 37s and an R but have yet to line them up. Anyone available this weekend ?

***correction***
I think the TFL guys did a video with the Tyrant vs. a regular one. There are about 100 videos where they run a regular TRX with a Raptor r and the Raptor R edges it out by 0.1 or 0.15 seconds.

They did some tyrant runs alone with the Granger guys and then did some with their Raptor R vs stock TRX. I have yet to see a Tyrant Vs R video….

There’s an equal number where the R wins to be fair. It’s a drivers race.

Where do you live? This sounds like fun!
