110-112 mph would be good for very low 12's, so I think you may off on that estimate a bit. Those little AWD cars can get off the line very well and the spray will act like a huge intercooler. I would say that his car should be running in the 11's with that set up. No shame in losing to a fast car.
His estimate must be alittle off on his trap because I've never heard of one getting anywhere near 11's at only 15psi. 100% stock i was hitting 14 psi on a 14.9 second car. Obviously a big turbo could flow much more but 15 psi still isn't anything at all even w/ juice. Who knows/cares though.... I've seen many cases where one will beat much more powerful cars on the street due to awd so that could come into play also.. Mach, What does your car run?

lol you show me a completely gutted car using race gas in a 1 gallon tank as a comparison? Yes there is a couple 11 second talons out there compared to the 1000 wanna be 13-14 seconds ones. Every talon I ever seen runs 1 month out of the year as well. Enjoy the crank walk!!

btw my sig says OLD setup.

I don't think its a rule that you have to tell everyone whats under your hood. If you did, some people would never want to race you, while others would be lined up waiting. Take it like a man, you can't win em all.

I agree the cars gutted, but once again.... SMALL STOCK TURBO AND ENGINE!!!

Theres plenty w/ large turbos that have no probelms running those times and better. You made it sound like he lost to a kia and should kill himself or something. Those cars mod easily was all I'm saying. I'm done, good luck w/ the new setup.

He was probably running more than 15psi, because I'm running stock 14.5 psi and when the turbo spools, one wouldn't say it's "loud as hell"

Sorry to hear that. Pretty unfair. Too bad he has to have all that just to beat you. I really dislike those cars. I once owned an Eclipse and it is almost identical to the Talon. I never had more problems with a car than I had with that one.
Unfair, boo hoo. Turbo and NOS is "all that"? He got beat, it wasn't unfair.

He got beat....
