Re: 1991 talon 500 hp project

You can't compare a high compression Curt Brown car on a Dynojet using STD correction to anything around here on our low reading dyno. Curt Brown spends thousands of dollars on things like ceramic wheel bearings to get every last HP out of his cars.

If you want to make the best power with a little turbo like that, I would highly recommend a 2G head with a 1G TB and sheet metal intake manifold. Bumping the compression up higher than your normal builds too would help on an E85 small turbo car also. You might want a better FMIC and better cams too.

Do E85 over 110. 110 isn't not nearly as good as E85. E85 is closer to C16 in knock resistance, and E85 has it's own cooling factor which usually gives helps it make more power than most normal race gases. Exotic race gases like VP import that are oxygenated add some HP and are extremely high octane, but most people don't want to spend $25 a gallon.

A 350awhp/350+awtq car on our dyno is a lot of fun though. You can run some fast times in a car with less HP but a quick spooling turbo. It can take 50-100HP more with some big laggy turbo to run the same ETs as some 16G car that has no lag.
