99 z28vs 91 eagle talon tsi I recently sold my 91 eagle talon to one of my friends, and thought it would be fun to run him. The talon is fwd 5spd it has a ported out stock turbo, boost controller running 19psi, full 3 inch exhaust downpipe and back, act 2100 racing clutch, greddy type s bov, aem intake with k&n filter, walbro255 fuel pump,welded differential, and even the o2 housing is ported. I have a completly stock 99 z-28 convertible automatic. So were on the highway, no cars around so we slow down to about 40, we go on 3 honks. We hit it exactly the same time, were goin through second gear complety even, i have complete traction, once the boost hits about 17psi and goin up he starts losing it, were even we go into 3rd gear, still even. At about 90mph i start to pull slowly on him, i assume at this point he musta gone into 4th cuz i really started to pull hard. So i let off. I was definetly impressed, weve had the talon up to about 143, then it struggles, ive had the camaro up to 165, but that took a decent amount of road. So im sure id kill him up top. All in all a good race. I was only able to pull a 14.2@100mph in the quarter, with a 60ft of 2.2. does that sound wrong, or is it that its a convertible auto killing me.

TSi just means it's a Turbo Talon. It can be a FWD or an AWD. Now with Eclipses', it's specific. A GSX is AWD and a GSt is FWD. I would think the Talon would pull a little better than that though. I know my best run on the stock turbo was a 13.0 @ 104 (at 18psi) and my car is the heavier AWD.
Nice kill.
Nice kill.

ya the talon isnt tuned at all, with an safc on the dyno, id say he would gain another 20-30hp, my buddies have a eclipse and talon turbo, one of them was at 258hp at the wheels, he got it tuned and bumped it up to 278 with a safe tune.

^^^ It's possible. You just need DR's or slicks. I have seen it done. 
Hell there's a guy I know with just a MBC (set at 18psi) who just dropped his exhaust and added race gas in his stock AWD laser and ran a 13.1 @ 101mph. Nothing else done to it. Absolutely! Now that's a freak DSM.

Now that's a freak DSM. Nice kills on the dsm. It's not your auto holding you back although the stock stall doesn't help and should definately go. The drop top is what's slowing you down. Nothing you can do about that except get more power and get new torque convertor.
