I want to extract more power out of the stock engine . Since money doesn&#8217;t come from a tree, I have to be content on doing modification piece by piece, or stage by stage. What do you think I should do first? Last?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This truck is a daily driver and the bottom line is that it needs to be 50-state legal, no internal modification, with only bolt-on installation or replacement upgrades. If I finish the upgrades will the engine be able to handle the extra power in general? Can the Nology plugs and wires be installed in a Typhoon? At present I have 245\/50 tires on 16&#215;8 rims; can I put 255\/45-ZR17s on 17&#215;8 rims up front and 285\/40ZR17s on 17&#215;9.5 rims on the rear without any problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have a great magazine and I hope you can feature some more upgrades, particularly on the Typhoon\/Syclone V6. American cars and trucks are coming back and they are not turning back! Joselito Ferrer Raritan, NJ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At the forefront of Typhoon\/ Syclone performance is Kenne-Bell of Rancho Cucamonga, California . The company offers upgraded turbos, exhaust systems, intercoolers, trick cylinder heads, intake upgrades, computer chips and more. We know the Rom Air Kit and exhaust system are 50-slafe legal, as are many of the company&#8217;s other components. You&#8217;re in luck, according to our calculations you live about 90 minutes from Quarter-Mile Performance, a company thot has a very close working relationship with Kenne-Bell. We suggest you call Quarter-Mile Performance at (609) 627-7223 and get the lowdown on the ports you&#8217;re interested in, we also highly recommend this shop for installation of the pieces as they have built a 7. 90-second Buick and numerous eight-, nine- and 10-second Grand Nationals. Good luck.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Todays-Truck-SUP-10-95.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Today&apos;s Truck &amp; SUP 10-95.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a16cac6f-82d0-4a58-bd5d-cbae214cc1bf\" href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Todays-Truck-SUP-10-95.pdf\">Today&#8217;s Truck &#038; SUP 10-95<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Todays-Truck-SUP-10-95.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a16cac6f-82d0-4a58-bd5d-cbae214cc1bf\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Truck &#038; Sport Utility Performance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2887,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-performance-upgrade-information","category-typhoon","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3250,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691\/revisions\/3250"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
