So, last night me and my boy took his talon to the track. It's a very plagued talon, as it has quarts of oil dripping from it, but we said #### it and decided to run it. We got there and it was runnin 17psi of boost and on the first run, bunch of shit happened. It ran a 19 @ 40mph, yep, pretty sad. Well the IAC motor plug came off and made the car buck real bad. During the next run the downpipe decided to disconnect itself and the boost fell off to 12psi, and it ran a 13.8 @ 96mph. We were going to raise the boost but at this time, we started losing a lot of oil from an unknown source and when we got there we were full of oil, on the 3rd run we were down a quart and a half 
. Anyways, we added oil, which most fell out right away, and decided to run again. The next run was on 12psi and base timing, this the best run of the night it was a 13.7 @ 94mph. Somewhere we lost the MPH up top but we gained a real good launch, not the best one but it spinning pretty bad out of the hole. The last run is when we got pretty much kicked off the track. It spun real bad out of the hole and ran a 13.8 @ another low 90mph run. From the time I staged to the deep yellow light to when the green light hit, i dropped a good 1.3 of quart of oil, and they said we had to check it out. Decided it was coming from the front balance shaft screw since it looks like its coming out of the front timing cover and dripping down the oil filter housing.
All in all on 12psi of boost and 5degree base timing the car is a strong high 13 second car, not to mention the definate spinning all through first. What really sucked is, they kept spraying down the pit area where you burn out, with water. So were stuck with ### wet tires. Oh well, It was fun.
If ny of you guys have some feedback let me know.
The mods follow as hard intercooler piping, 255pump, act 2600, brand new bored over .20 motor on 2g pistons. No BS's, cams, ported turbo, ported evo 3 o2 exhaust housing, and ported manifold, and a 3 inch jaun on a apexi muffler. haha
For real, though is it safe to advance the timing a couple of degrees and put the boost around 17psi. We had it set on 17psi for a little and it was making really good power on base timing.
thanks
