Names alex, 20 from Rome. Own a 1990 black awd talon. Been building it for a few years now, old setup more or less includes.
GT3082R turbo, .82 hotside
DNP Tubular manifold
Wiseco pistons, manley I beam rods
Crower valvetrain, Ferrea SS valves
Port work etc
JM Intake manifold
Comp 101200 cams
1000cc injectors/Walbro 255
DSMLINK
etc.
This year im swapping to a new ‘37r’ per AMS, or a dual ball bearing T67. 10gallon fuel cell, probly finishing up the rollcage, and swapping out for some 16x8’s and drag radials.
Best time on the old setup was [email=“11.55@127”]11.55@127, Lotsa traction problems i hope to fix this season.

hey welcome dude. good way to fix those traction issues is to get a bigger turbo! makes sense to me :bloated: haha either way apparently you need to learn how to drive, but maybe after you handle that problem you could roll up to tuffalo and find a couple money races, haha :tup:
enjoy your stay

need to learn to drive my car why? The car is on 205/55/16 60$ khumo tires. Its strictly my daily driver/only vehicle. Hence why i never bothered with drag radials untill this year. It cut a best of 1.86 60ft. Not much of a money racer tho. Id run a friendly race, but really not out to race for money, just building the car purely for my enjoyment.
Fact that esta doesnt spray VHT/prep the track on T&T doesnt help. Went to LVD once, first launch car hooked hard and ripped apart the rear axle.

This coming from the guy with all types of wiring issues…lol…j/k
The car looks good, good times on the street tires. Did you cut those times on the 3 bolt? If you are in need of a custom downpipe or any pricing, you know where to call. 😉
