Vancouver,
Well I took my talon to the track today:thumb:

Run 4 times with best run [email protected] and 2.152 60foot
Worst run was [email protected] and 2.318 60foot

Over all I expected bit faster times, part of the problem is my clutch that was slipping @ 5000RPM:( when launching, but anyways for 15PSI and 3" catback I think it's ok.

What do you think?

PS: 2 out of 6 Talons at the track broke down, one blew piston when spiked to 27PSI on manual boost controller and another one tranny droping @ 5000RPM:laugh:
 
If you are AWD, those 60fts should be more into the 1.8's.

2.1 60ft is what a great driver in a GST should be getting.

But then again your clutch is slipping.....

Definitely, either that, or you need more practice launching.

I agree learn to launch!!! You might want to get a clutch too!!!!:)
I usuall cut 2.2 or 2.1s in the 60.... AWD with your mods and a good clutch should hit around 1.8 or better!

He doesn't really have any mods. A 2.2/2.1 isn't bad at all for a basically stock AWD. If he were deep in the 13s or high 12s then 1.8s might be expected with a perfect launch.
