I have a 1997 Eagle Talon ESI, 28800 miles, original tires, 5-Speed, AEM cold air intake, Apexi NI exhaust. What do you think my 1/4 mile time and speed be?


BTW, What RPM should launch at?

Thanks, Jason Mcclure

16's? Low 16's? Or High 16's?

What would it take for me to get like 15.5-16.0? What header and down pipe are people using? With a header, down pipe, AEM cold air intake, and Apexi N1 what would my 1/4 mile time and speed be?


Thanks, Jason Mcclure

>16's? Low 16's? Or High 16's?

In my experience, if you get the launch down, low 16s, even 16.0 or just breaking into 15s

>What would it take for me to get like 15.5-16.0?

More mods emoji sorry couldn't resist. Actually a moderate number of bolt ons with good driving will get you high 15s, to get to mid 15s well basically what I've done since I run 15.5s now (although I don't think you should just copy my mod list, as some of my stuff might not be to useful for what you want to do with your car)

What
>header and down pipe are people using?

I have the brospeed, it did nothing for the 1/4 mile but helped out the low end a bit. Most headers don't help the 1/4 mile time as they are tuned to low inthe RPM range, but I think some types out there might tune high enough to give some top end power.

The header probably won't help, the downpipe IS the header for our cars, So with a CAI and exhaust it's be just what I said above, low 16s, maybe even 16 flat or very very high 15s (15.95 or so)

You should look into the AFX underdrive pulley next, and getting some work done to your intake manifold. Check out the new power stages (I wrote them emoji ) on the main site, that should help too. Any other questions, feel free to ask, if you want e-mail me directly, either way is all good.

i'm a crappy launcher...i have greddy header, CAI, UDP, bored TB, apexi catback and centerforce clutch...i stripped the car out- seats, panels , the works and pulled a 15.84@90.42 with a 2.49 60' so...if i could learn how to drive i could be 15.5's...so i think high 15's isn't out of the question if you can drive and have a strong engine with good compression
