How does my 1/4th timeslip look for my mods?

R/T ... .607
60' ... 2.125
330' .. 6.022
1/8 ... 9.247
MPH .. 76.77
1/4 ... 14.370
MPH .. 93.34

1/4th MPH low much, well, i thought i could ride third out in the 1/4th (been reading too much about FWD cars) and went well passed my 7k RPM redline, so i let off, and shifted to 4th... and my car stops making power at 6500...

R/T .. .406
60' ... 2.243 (oops, bog)
330' 6.192
1/8 .. 9.424
MPH . 76.64
1/4 14.608
MPH 94.57

Had trouble getting it into 4th.. must get rid of "horse ####" shifter...

I'm not worried about the 60fts so much, as i am the MPH... the MPH shows how much power you make.. and i wonder if i'm making the right amount of power for my mods (listed in profile)

Also this is my only car right now, so i try not to drive it like i hate it... it gives me enough #### as is...

I was running about 12-13 psi for these runs...

The reason i'm worried about it, is because when we did a compression test on the car, these were the numbers: 135 130 105 134 ... the only reason they could be off, is because i didn't press the gas down any, so the throttle was left closed... but still, cylinder #3 at 30psi less than the rest scares me....

Opinions welcome.. and i would like to compare my times with people who have equal mods...
 
I'm guessing that the ATR O2 eliminator is a full exhaust? That MPH seems about right for 13 psi on an engine that has low compression. The recomended lower limit for compression is 121 psi with a max difference of 14 psi.

I did 96 mph on my 1G AWD Talon with MBC a 17 psi, race gas, fuel pump, K+N filter, and gutted cat. My compression is 125 to 140. I plan on modding it more before I do a rebuild. HTH

It's open downpipe... running a full exhaust wouldn't hurt me any powerwise... i just dont have the money right now.
 
I know what you mean. I can't afford to do any exhaust work on the Talon, and the track opens up in two weeks. I'm thinking of just removing the downpipe and cat and run open exhaust, but just at the track. You should try $20 worth of race gas and higher boost, maybe 15- 16 psi. It's a big difference!

I dont suggest removing the DP... keep the DP on... you dont want all that hot exhaust to come out in your engine bay...

I put the 190lph fuel pump in today... gonna crank it up to about 17psi... thats good enough for me...
