ODG Syclone in Mexico

The ODG Syclone in Mexico makes one of its fastest personal best passes!

A few months back, we covered the story of Texas-based fabricator and grudge racer On D Gas Racing building a twin-turbo Coyote powered GMC Syclone. The truck is running on a Holley Dominator stand-alone. According to Shrek Motorsports, it’s built on a 5.2 block sleeved to a 5.0L running a dry sump with twin 76-79 Garrett turbos mounted in the bed. Both turbos breathe with custom-cut inlets into each of the bedsides. It has the stock diff with LSD in the front running on Bully Racing CV axles. The transfer case is a stock Borg Warner 4472 bolted to a 400 trans. The engine was set up to run on M1 methanol.

ODG’s first outing with the truck was in FL at Bradenton Speedway back in October 2024 at the Cleetus AWD Shootout. With virtually no track time and testing other than on the dyno and the streets outside the track at 3 AM the morning of their scheduled race, they took the Syclone for its maiden voyage on a track. They took a loss but have since slowly been making progress in the setup and getting the truck much more dialed in on the track.

The most recent news from ODG is attending Memerkits Posada in Monterrey, Mexico, where they have claimed the truck to have done its fastest pass to date.

This is our second year coming to the Memerkits Posada here in Monterrey, Nuevo León and this time we decided to bring our syclone that won the OTM finals. With literally only 2 passes we managed to break our PB for this truck on a not so great surface but nonetheless still crazy for this truck! We’re excited to see what else it can do with more adjusting and more testing!

Before you get too excited, you’re not going to see any posted times. These are grudge race events where no times are posted or blurred out, and the details of builds are usually kept relatively hush due to the money and bets associated with this type of racing. From our guess, this truck is hooking into the 4 to 5-second range in a 1/8th mile, making it a 7 to 8-second truck in the quarter mile.

Coyote Swap Syclone

Texas-based car builder and social media influencer On-D-Gas Racing (ODG) has rolled out his latest build, a GMC Syclone. ODG is known for his wild and over-the-top truck builds, so it comes as no surprise when he announced what the plans were when he said it was something that most wouldn’t have initially thought to do. You see, ODG built a Coyote swap Syclone. But just doing a Coyote swap wasn’t enough. This setup is a bed-mounted twin-turbo monster that is still AWD and estimated to be able to hold 2500HP.

Now, we know what you’re thinking. Why take a GMC Syclone, rip out everything, and cut it up to do this kind of build? This particular Syclone is no stranger to the track and has had a life of hard racing even before ODG bought it. The truck used to be powered by an evenfire Bowtie V6 that ran the best of 9.2. The rear frame was boxed in, and a roll cage was built for safety. By the time ODG purchased it, it was a roller and already had been well-modified and cut into with very little chance it could ever go back to stock. It was a perfect platform for someone to push the boundaries and try something different. We think ODG has checked all the boxes.

Even if you’re not a Ford fanatic, the Coyote 5.0L V8 is an impressive motor. It has gone through some generational changes with the Gen 4 being the latest platform release. It’s an all-aluminum 32-valve DOHC V-8 that utilizes advanced features such as direct and port fuel injection, twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT), high-flow aluminum cylinder heads, and 12:1 compression. The Coyote engine produces between 460-500HP in stock form. Of course, the setup on the ODG Syclone is far from stock, and we wish we could tell you all of the details, but we cannot. You see, this truck was built to race on the streets and in grudge matches on the track; therefore, no information is going to be publicly available for competitors to gain an advantage on the setup other than from photos and reels. Any video that has been released so far has been edited to conceal any of the build info when it comes to numbers.

From what we have seen in the videos, we can tell you that the truck is running on a Holley Dominator stand-alone. According to Shrek Motorsports, it’s built on a 5.2 block sleeved to a 5.0L running a dry sump with twin 76-79 Garrett turbos mounted in the bed. Both turbos breath with custom cut inlets into each the bedsides. It has the stock diff with LSD in the front running on Bully Racing CV axles. The transfer case is a stock Borg Warner 4472 bolted to a 400 trans. The engine was set up to run on M1 methanol. The entire front clip was modified to come off quickly and easily as 1-piece and is said to weigh about 80lbs.

Check out the video that On D Gas Racing posted a few days ago before the truck heads out to do it’s maiden run at the FL2K event in Brandeton, FL. To get to the Syclone action in the video, fast forward to around the 17:30 timestamp.
