Mortify

any car my friends drive in that has some decent ***** means it will mop the floor (but hasn't happened yet)

Anyways, My friend just picked up a 95 talon tsi awd about 2 weeks ago, with 16g turbo and controller, aftermarket bov, and a filter.. no exhaust yet (im pushing him to mod it out haha).. anyways we meet up at a light, I know im going to get spanked off the line, light goes green and I do a horrible launch and he jumps 4 cars ahead, that god for v8 top end reeled him in by 60mph and was probably 4 cars ahead by the end which was.. 110mph Trans Am 1 ... Talon 0

I can't wait till he gets a turbo-back

Next to write off is a '97 Caddy STS with exhaust... again.. my friends think he will win

A 16g car with no exhaust work is good for ~ 13.20s at 102-104 mph with an experienced driver. Exhaust is critical (stock is like 2 inch) for extra power, even if it was on the stock turbo.

With that and some tuning it should dip into the 12s and gain 4-5 mph at least. I haven't owned any DSMs since the latest tuning tools hit the scene so there may be a lot more to be gained since the days of piggyback fuel controllers.

As far as I know, the Caddy will be lucky to break out of the 15s, with maybe a 14.90 as its best showing. Sure, it's the Northstar, but it's hauling a lot of luxury car with it.
