I just bought a '95 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD for $5000. It has an open element air filter/intake, a TurboXS Blow off valve, KYB Adjustable suspension and an Apexi turbo timer, only bad thing is that it's an auto, but there are advantages for me having an auto, since im a highschool student and its easier on the drive train. I was wondering what do you think I'll run at the track, I plan on going down there this coming Tuesday. Thanks, Cody.

Also, how much boost can I run on the stock fuel system before I risk blowing the motor up?:D
 
You can run 15-16 psi on the stock fuel system. Im guessing you will be in the mid-15's
 
When I went to the track I had only free mods and I pulled off a [email protected], 1.933 60', but I have a 5-speed. Since your car is an auto I think you might be in the low 15's. Post your time when you get back, I would like to know.
 
Thats an awsome 60ft for a stock clutch! Just out of curiosity do you know how much you weighed for the run?

Actually I had a CenterForce Dual Friction clutch when I did that run, when I said free mods I guess I didn't think to count that, hehe my bad. :p Our dragway doesn't have a weight station but I estimated with Carpoint, me and the Talon weight about 3240lbs.
 
Haha...I thought that maybe you maybe had a new clutch. Ive only heard of a few people breaking into the high 1.9 60s on a stock clutch.

My car weighs around 3500lbs with me and a full tank of gas. I have the sunroof, leather(driver power), and abs...Actually I have every option available. Oh yeah, and my HE2, it weights 55lbs total with box and amp.

I guess thats about 3250 without me, box, and 1/4 tank(assuming 25lbs loss).
