Alcohol on a Syclone ----> need buick help

[Pittman]

OK I have a syclone I know that basicaly I can run loads of boost with little or no retart on pump gas.

1) has anyone ever done it on a syclone?

2) I have the 255hp pump and the adj regulator, ultimate chip.

3) Im currently ordering a 3" back exhaust and a 900cfm turbo and downpipe from pte.

4) If I run the alcohol can I run the t3-24 program on my little truck? Any Idea how much that will help? I run 12.6@104

5) who makes the best kit for my application? Do any have a safety feature so if you loose alc. press it kills the ignition or anything.

6) why cant the syclones be as easy to hop up as the buicks?
(that is just a joke, but a true one)

Brian Green is pretty knowledgeable about alcohol on Sy's. He goes by screen name "Stanley Spadowski" on http://www.syty.net/phpBB/

I doubt you'll make it to the T3-24 program on pump gas with your ultimate chip. Alcohol helps alot but that's a HUGE jump.

I have the SMC kit...works wonders.

Be patient.. SyTy r&d is prolly ~5 years behind the Buick ppl. They've been at it quite a while longer than us and there are quite a few more of em to tinker/test/build diff combos.

Do what I do and just hang out here and learn from these ppl (read: steal their ideas.. ). LOTSA good info on here and ppl that have been messing with turbo 6s for years to learn from. Quite a bit of the info here is applicable to our trucks with minor changes.

I ran the SMC kit on my Sy, worked decent, but could have used some minnor tweaking. The problem I ran into was the spray was a little too wet, see you'll need to add a 5 foot section of braided hose to make it to the TB/intercooler, I think I may have lost some pressure in the extension tube, not totally sure though.

As far as running T3-24, you might want to do some testing on your own, more boost/timing doesn't always make more power, infact if your running the stock turbo, and stock heads you'll make the most power with mild timing(T2) and 17-19 psi.
