Well my second racing season with the Talon is almost over.  I was without the car for most of the summer because of clutch/pedal assembly problems (and I'm lazy).

BUT all that hard work and time paid off at the track last sunday (oct 07/01)


As some of you know last season was a disapointment for me and I could only manage a 14.7@ 95mph. with these mods:

16g Slightly ported @ 14psi
96 Exhaust mani ported
2 1/4" UIC pipe
Fuel pump rewire
K&N c/w cut air can

Some of you have asked me "why so slow with thses mods".  I think the answer was fuel...or not enough of it.  After 5000rpm's the car just fell on it's face.  Now that I have the 255lph pump and a boared out fuel rail it pulls right to redline. (but I am now running too rich)

My best time to date is now a
13.295 @ 105.84mph :0)  on pump gas!
Best mph is
106.66mph. This is with he exhaust removed at the 02 housing.

13.577 @ 102.98mph with the stock exhaust on the car.  That's about a 30hp increase just by removing the exhaust.    here's a scan of the slips

Most of the mods I have done since last year are "free" look
here to see the mod page.

Modding can be addictive and expensive, but it's all worth it when you smoke some punk in a mustang and laugh when he tries to explain to his girlfriend what just hapened.

Later,
