Hey whats going on guys?Well I am about to have a race either Friday or Saturday.Ok I know this guy Philip that just bought a Talon TSI few months ago that is a 96 model 5 speed.His engine is almost completely stock except for an aftermarket exaust,Cold air intake,Aftermarket blow off valve and boost controller.His boost is set at 17 I think because thats its maximum setting.He is claiming that he has 300 horsepower with that set up.Now I dont know much about imports engines but thats alot of gain with just a boost controller and a couple bolt ons cause those things are 210 stock.
Then I have a friend Travis that has a 94 police interceptor Z28 and its the real deal.He doesnt know whats done to it though cause his dad had a 55 chevy belair and traded in on the Z and gave it to his son.All I do know about it is that its freaking strong and feels way more torquer then my 03 GT or 95 GT.We do know it has a cold air intake and dude who traded it to them claims it has a chip its also 6 speed.But like I said I dont know whats done to it besides that cause you cant really tell.It does feel stronger then a z28 and since its a police interceptor is should have aleast something extra.Now then there is me in my 03 GT.Basically stock with a few mods.Intake,Gears,off road pipe,flows,shifter,pulley etc but nothing major.I figure I am not supposed to race but I will join the party.
Now my real question to you all is what you all think will happen?Can a talon with 17 pounds of boost make over 300 horse on stock engine.The dude that drives the Talon sucks at driving by the way big time.He doesnt slam gears for **** he just puts them in gear.I mean its really sad too but i am glad he cant drive for ****.Travis in the z28 can shift really well but I have more time behind the wheel of my GT and I know it like nothing else.I am great at racing it cause I have spent time and time with it.Anways any info would be much needed.And when the race happens posted it will be.Thanks
