took the talon to the track for the first time today, very very disappointing. big 16g @ 9psi, 3'' turbo-back exhaust, dejon intake w/ k&n, 114k miles. here is the results.....

60' - 2.02
1/8 et - 9.6
mph- 70
1/4 et - 15.1
mph- 87

im pretty sure i have a boost leak somewhere tho, but never got around to testing it. but i am very upset with the results and hope to get the car fixed. check for leaks and check timing.
 
15.1 at 87?????? thats what a stock full weight awd dsm runs. 9psi?? u should b able to run at least 12psi or so without seeing knock. defintly turn it up and c what happens. i live in armada... we should meet up sometime.

Yah that is your problem..you are only runnin 9 psi... :thumbdown .what is that gonna do...nothin!!! I mean stock is 10-11 so why 9?? your waste gate will not open any earlier then 10-11 anyway so you must have a big leak if you are only hittin 9....check for leaks again and turn it up to 15... you can run way more then 12......

You can't expect much with crappy 60' times and 9psi.

understandable...but I mph much higher at 8psi(93mph) and when I bumped it to 12psi I trapped at 100mph with a cel on for fuel trim. :barf:
 
i found my boost leak, i have 2 holes in my intercooler piping, wrapped some duct tape around them today and took it for a drive and went from 9psi before to 12psi now. So i re-raced my buddies srt-4 that ran 14.1 @95, he beat me by about 2-3 cars before, we raced tonight and he caught up to me at around 93 mph, so i'm sure i'm definately not running 15.1 now. LOL.
 
My first time at the track was last night. Only mods are dejon intake and plug wires. Best was 16.4 @ 86. I hope to God that I have a boost leak the size of Texas.
