My Talon is finally all put together and I went to the dyno for the second time this year (had oil pump issues a month ago). I was more than pleasantly surprised with the results. Shane Ziegler tuned the car and it put down some serious numbers on DB Performance's dyno. Precisely speaking - 859.8 WHP and 642 ft/lb at 35.2 psi of boost. That was the number in Shootout Mode (Dynojet Guestimate). The actual DynoDynamics numbers were 740.2 WHP and 563 ft/lb. I am super excited about it and it couldn't have happened at a better time, since it was my actual birthday. The essential mods are 2.4 long rod G4CS with Pauter/Ross 9:1 combo, Keflord 276/280, Magnus Cast intake, 2150s, twin walbros, Punishement header, DBB PTE 6266, Garret 4" thick FMIC and DSMLink v3 running speed density. The run was done on straight E98.
The car weighs 2660 without me in it, I am around 180-ish. Last year I ran a best of 10.38@142 with a 1.71 60' time (1/8 mile trap was 111). At that time it made 657 WHP and it had a very tired 2.0 in it. It has a Shep stage 4 trans with a GearDrive Quartermaster, but my t-case, rear diff and axles are stock. I hope that if I preload everything and I am nice to it, it can run a 9.9x. Hopefully it all works out.
Big thanks to Jake Vogel for spending countless hours with me in the shop working on the car and Shane for the tuning it.
