TFL TRX Tyrant review

Raptor R w/ lightweight BFG C KO2's and 4.10 gears...
Tyrant 37 w/heavy ass 37's and 3.55 gears...
 
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?
The 37" tyrant is faster than a normal TRX. I'll have to do some digging to find the numbers but I believe offhand it was .3-.4 faster to the quarter mile.
 
Or you could just do the 2.85 upper instead of both the upper and lower. Same blower speed and less cost.

I think some folks really don’t get the concept here that Graingers package is clearly aimed at a specific power threshold. For the exact same cost as their package they could have done a 2.85 upper instead of 3.17. Would yield about 820hp instead of 787hp. Other mods would not need to change. So why did they choose the 3.17? Because that’s where they felt comfortable placing a warranty on the powertrain.

Another thing as far as cost goes… their parts list is roughly $2500. Fair price for tune including unlock of PCM/TCM is $1500. Which means you are paying roughly $3k for install and a powertrain warranty. It’s not a bad price. Do I think it is worth it? No. But that’s only because you get a lot more performance for the same price but no warranty. For all the folks out there that want to keep warranty at all costs it will be a good deal.
Depending on air and elevation and fuel the 2.85 can be to much on the trx with premium fuel. Dusterhoff tuned my trx and we had to much kr with the 2.85 and 92 so we had to move up to a 2.95, makes 15psi on cold days.

2.85 only with no other mods and making 15 PSI? That’s a strong blower there. 👍 Running Dusterhoffs flex tune on the 2.85 along with additional mods increasing airflow and only 2k altitude here. But I have heard of one other person at sea level with a factory freak blower that he had to pulley down a bit.
 
Hpmaniac and I live in the same area. My TRX has the Satera Stage 1 package with the 2.85 upper, 1050's, and the S&B.
On a cold morning, mine will flash to 15.5 PSI and then stay at 16 PSI. Who knows how accurate the gauge really is. I should data log it to be sure.

I had to do the same thing on mine. Will probably have to swap it out again when I do the ported snout soon.
