AWD LSX Syclone
The want is sooo strong.
I rode in one of those years ago that was warmed over.
When the guy brought it up on the brake on boost and dumped the brake my head hit the rear window...hard.
And the love began lol.
Bad *** build and very clean.

Hpfiend - Thank you. the typhoon and trailblazer ss are very different - to LS swap a typhoon is a lot of work, esp with a turbo setup due to space.
Hellbents10 thanks!
Hank - transfer case is stock with an adapter shaft for 4l80. If I could do it again this truck would have a glide or turbo glide.....but right now just enjoying it when I feel like driving it.

5.8'S on a track that is uphill from the concrete launch pad on and notoriously slippery on high HP/small tire combos. Very impressive. I was there. Your truck looks well built and hauls ***. Great combination!
Did I overhear you say something about an engine noise? Tapping I believe? How'd you make out with that?

Any award for the lowest power? haha! Maybe I'll drive the Zephyr over. Is it inside the dealership or a portable unit? I don't remember there being one inside, but it's quite a while since I've been there.
When these trucks were new, I was the "designated/trained" tech that got to work on them. I think we sold 3 or 4 in the 2 year run. They were a blast to drive after driving the sit and spin Grand Nationals.

I'm not one to really give advise on tuning, but that 21 lbs at 17* can be boarder line even on C16 fuel. Just remember they can take a lot more timing on the dyno than they can under real driving (full load). I'd probably back it down a bit and take a look at a fresh set of plugs after a WOT pull on the street to make sure it's all good before turning it up.
Beware of morons on this site (especially 01ssreda4) that will tell you that taking a look at your plugs is a waist of time. With a combo like you have, it is damn near mandatory to keep it alive if you are gonna push it.
Just don't want to see you kill it man. You did a great job on the build. Can't wait to see some track times.

Op, kickass truck. I like it.
Went a best 1/8 of a 5.71 so far this year with a 1.35 60 ft. Best 1/4 was 8.83 @ 162 1.34 60ft. Finally got it to go a 1.2x 60 ft and we lost the trans. Once we dialed it in we found the converter is too loose as well - have a new one in the box from FTI waiting to go in once transmission is in from Jakes. Here are a few pics and videos from this year:
