It sounded like a shotgun went off in the car, I was scared out of it!

New great passes at MAP PG 2012, maybe I will keep it a 5 speed

I cut high 1.4 60ft on each pass

No way! I'm still looking to get an upgraded one made, a couple of companies still do the old school upgrade where they bore out the tail shaft factory gear and e-beam weld a larger tail shaft to it.

The shock load on everything else takes a beating when the T-Case blows up. I would rather take it safe, since the car is shifted. Auto's can get away with stock cases.

I don't know what the guys name is, but he put his go pro in my car.

Did your gauges go back in when you hit the brakes? HOly crap.

How fast was that run because the 2g was moving!

ALso I didnt know that you run a 2.3, i need to talk to you when I build a motor.
Nice run.

Yep 2.3L. I was totally asleep at the line, and his car is bat shit crazy fast!

[mondale]

Nice runs mark! That video shows really how fast Devin's car is, because you were hauling ass in the first place.

[scheides]

Yes Jim, sleeping at the line, my 9.40 was a .68 reaction time. In the final my reaction was 1.4 lol. I have a lot to improve on with pro trees! This is an easy thing to fix.

So what's next with my talon? Well I might as well make the car faster, so I'm going to put it on a diet and set a goal to remove about 150-200lbs! This should make it much faster.

1. First off I'm going to install the light weight STM brakes up front. Un-sprung weight is king!
2. My father in law has a CNC in his garage and is going to scallop and drill rear OEM rotors.
3. Next MAP helped me source some Flex a Lite Lexan molded glass in the rear of the car.
4. I will also put a new fuel cell in the car, going with a 5 gallon model instead of the 16. I typically race with about 8-10 gallons to avoid cavitation on the deceleration, since the tank is only like 10 inches tall.
5. Fuel Lab fixed and upgraded my fuel pump from the 1500hp to the 1800hp version.
6. I have the new upgraded transfer case on the way.
7. I'm going to gut the front doors, remove the carpet, door panels and center console.
8. Over the winter I will take more extreme measures on weight reduction, but still keep it a street capable car!

I’ll take some pics as I go. Should be fun, I will be getting out to the track before the end of the season. Stay tuned!
