Sean Ivey's Talon getting nasty
Yeah,a little too much money and waaaaaay too much time.My girlfriend would like nothing more than to sell the car wile I'm at work.
I started this project in the summer of 06'.Since than I've invested roughly $48K into the car.I could have had it done a lot sooner but I spared no expenses with this car.The best of everything was used in this build.
*Shep Dogbox
*Tilton Carbon/Carbon clutch
*DSS Stg.5 axles
*DSS T-case
*DSS HD 3.5" Driveshaft
*Garrett GT-4202
*Shearer Stainless steel top mount exhaust manifold w/44mm Tial gate
*Hogan 2pc. Race intake manifold
*Custom I/C Bar & Plate
*Haltech E11v2
*MSD DIS-4 High Output
*Safegaurd-Individual Cylinder Control (Knock monitoring system)
*Weldon 2345A fuel pump (-12 from tank to pump.-10 to rail and back)
*PTE 1,600cc injectors
I'm not gonna go into specifics about the motor but I'll just say I've been machining for over 12 yrs.I run Pauter rods,JE pistons,custom spec casidium coated wrist pins,New OEM crank,O-ringed block and head.I'll just post a video.Theres too much to list.

Sean's new EVO and Supra are pretty bad ass.Both break 150+mph in the quarter.I think the EVO has gone mid 9's and I know the Supra has gone mid 9's.Very intelligent guy Sean is.
Tuning is my next goal.Usually for me to tune my drag car all I need is a few hand tools.Carbed motors are more my expertise.To be effective you need to be able to tune your own car.Tuning a F.I turbo car with a standalone is a bit more tricky (For me w/my experiance) than a car with a standalone,BIG injectors,and a big turbo.

Very nice, cant wait to see this car go down the track on the new set-up! Thats awsome that the car hasnt seen a dyno!

We'll see.It's a hike for me too go to Jersey everytime I need something done to the EMS.I have a friend that builds chassis' for several top names in the NHRA.Streetglow was the team he was crew chief on.He hooked me up with a local guy that is more into the V-8.But he does alot of fuel injected,turbocharged V-8's.So he's used to tuning turbo cars.And he knows the Haltech software very well.So we'll see.I know Sean is the shit when it comes to tuning.But if I'm going to trailer mycar anywhere,I think it's going to Buschur.Dave promised me he could do a better tune than anybody out there that does work for the general public.Thank goodness the tune that was already ono the ECU works for the time being.Everything was the same when Sean had it as far as injector size,cams,compression ratio.The big changes are in the drivetrain and the turbo system.I'll work on gettin' some videos up on here.Thanks guys.
