Re: Kicked out of Shelor, proud moment haha.
to me it looks like he is running out of ass at midtrack, or his gearing is wrong. on 11psi, i ran 89.1@8.19. it was just starting to hit boost in 3rd when i tripped the Chrondeks. the time i ran nick in his probe, i think he ran a 8.1@93?mph. that little bastard would pull like a raped ape at mid track!
i would be willing to bet that its VERY conservative, especially with that kind of ET. get that bitch running some more mid power, and i would see it about 104-105ish with that ET and a GOOD launch, which i would hope that car is capable of. a 1.6-1.7 60' and a little taller tire, which would let it wind out 3rd (although i dont know what RPM he was at on the big end) will probably be what is needed.

I'm sure it is still conservative, he said he was still tuning, not to mention on pump gas and all (I take that as 93) , lol! Better safe than sorry.
Sweet run.

i think he managed to pull a 2.1 60'. in a probe. and yes, that little bitch would fucking scream from a 20 roll. i think it was just a T3 on it though
get that little talon tuned for more ass in the top end, and it will break 100 at the same ET.

The Talon is no joke! I really underestimated it the first time I saw it actually run. I set him up with a race against Danny... You remember that Andrew? LOL!
I thought Danny's GTI was quick but you didn't just walk.. you RAN.

Congrats Andrew!!!
On a side note. How much more power over it's current level should this car make when it is running on and tuned for race gas? Just wondering what you guys have in mind.
