lol, 8 grand..sorry john. I did give props for the re-wire though..and welds. Somewhere on here. I just hope we FINALLY, after 2 fricken' years, got the revving issues fixed!

I got a new nikon digital camera! Not as nice as my old one, but for the price it's not bad! And, it's small! and takes vids! So, here is a few of each of me messing around..





Videos-sorry, they are crappy, but I'm just testing things out..





First off, THANK you to Shane, for emailing me a new map to get the car mobile on e-85! That's right boys and girls..the last 3 gallons of 111 race fuel is currently being guzzled by our lawnmower and my ponti-piece-o-shit. The talon is now as of today no longer an E-fuel virgin! I shot these two vids quick..first one is first start up..idle is a bit high, second vid I turned down the idle a bit, but still not quite as "lobby" as the old map..Once the car is tuned, I'll have mroe vids, and a dyno vid or two..Hopefully, coming soon this thursday

[Swifty1638]

Yea, I'm still needing 2 clamps..for that pipe..I just got it back from BOB at MAP for the powdercoating..

Why would you take a car that has sat for months on end or made a few laps around the block on a 500 mile cruise, a weekend filled with abuse. Same goes for a dyno day...the car should have all its kinks worked out long before the day of so you can show up and have a good time

More like 300, but my point lies in my prev statement. I don't like seeing cars broken down on the side of the road, especially my friends' cars.

[turbotalon1g]

^I don't my friend and is why driving to IA racing low 12s driving back, cruising up to WI for a weekend about 1500 plus miles equals no problem for me.

I thought he has been putting some miles on it.

[Swifty1638]

I drove it yet again today to and from work. And will be driving it WAY up north to see shane. So, i'm getting miles. It's not like i have a new clutch, or motor. Same motor, same turbo, only difference is bigger piping, tb, wg, degree'd cams, and a real intake. oh, and corn gas. Bout it.
