i dont get why people hold it against the rev limiter all the way down the tree it should only take 1 maybe 2 seconds to spool the turbo(s) so there's no point in it
@raptorboy1014131 if there was no point then people wouldn't do it. and im pretty sure its not a rev limiter, i think its called something like "2 step" or"launch control" but im not sure. this allows the car to stay at a certain RPM while holding down the pedal and not having to feather it to keep it there, also helps your turbo stay at full boost while launching.
@juechter Correct, it is a 2-Step and/or launch control. Also, I am sure he is applying NLTS (No lift to shift). Floor it, clutch and shift. The 2-step is to help the car build boost so they can launch with some extra power Sometimes Nitrous is used during the launch process to spool the turbo for a better launch.
@raptorboy1014131 It takes more than a couple seconds to get the boost to build. This is running a big turbo, not a little t-25 or VW turbo.
950hp to run low 9's. My boys 3,000lbs 95camaro runs runs 9.3's 1/4mi and dynos just over 650hp on the spray. I would of thought a 950hp car would of been faster.
@bigguedo Fully loaded with driver most 1G's tip the scales around 2500-2700lbs. Do you know how much horsepower it takes to shave even .5 seconds? I doubt at that power and weight, rwd, he's breaking 10's I'd say more like low to mid 10's for that camaro... if you have a video of it in the 1/4, I'll gladly eat my words. I ran very low 12's, high 11's at 404awhp/427awtq (daily driver, full interior, my fat ass). To break into singles is pretty tough and takes a LOT of tuning and horsepower.
@bigguedo Oh and a little PS here, check out Shep's DSM, over 1k to the wheels and in high 7's. Mine would lay 6 foot awd scratches under hard launch and walks the rear. Must be hard to hold onto 1,000 ponies even in an awd. Point is 950 seems like a lot (and it is), but to break past 9's takes a lot.
@garputo2 his name is jake montgomery he tunes his own cars, he doesnt own the talon anymore but he does had a low 10 high 9 second evo Daily driven fully interior jake is one of my friends on IMS( idahomotorsports)
shit i delivered pizza in my 350whp 1g talon with 160k for 2 yrs n nvr missed a beat. of course i took care of it just like u should with any car and it was nvr unreliable.

DSM motors suck first off....run that crap off some nitromethane and see how fast that supposidly indestructible block gives out. garbage....(remove gas cap and replace vehicle)
@4g63luver yea it will handle nitro, depends how far down the track it might go before exploding. and i really don't watch dsm motor vids i was just messing around looking at vids like everyone does.
holy ol' hell batman i think i saw a fast dsm, lol, and as for anybody saying dsm's are unreliable.....WRONG!!!!!!! they are a care that needs to be takin care of, people just hop in a 15 year old car toss 7000$ at it make it hav 450 whp and hope it will stand up to it, well it won, you need to take care of the little things first, that where there, "unreliable" rep came from and i wish it would go away cause its NOT TRUE
im just sayin'...there are alot of dsm engines for sale.....and even though i think they are great...they break....simple as that....not to be all bad...honda break...toyota's break...it's all about setup....and parts...i respect the dsm...i love the 96-99 gsx/gst....that was a great car...and it looks sick still...
its not about who manufactured the engine its about weather or not it was broken in correctly when it was new and how good it was taken care of by its owner.
AWD aren't meant for trap speeds. There quick off the line and thats all that matters in the 1/4. If you look at all the dsm's that run the mile or the 1/2 mile there all gst's because of more top end.
A stock block will hold anything if you get the sleeves for it. It isn't the block that takes the beating you know... And for the record, 99% of all blocks are made of aluminum these days... It is lighter, and you can make aluminum stronger than steel.
Wow, your an idiot. Rileys03rex was saying that the sr block can support 700hp, which it cannot. Did I say anything about the SR winning the builders challange? Ummm no..
Hybridynamics/ PRL racing's 240 with a 4294 and sr20 revs out to 10 and is over 850whp, their outlaw car has a gt55 and revs well over 11k and runs 7s
could be wrong but sounded like it spun in 1st so why make it taller gear? and to me on a low 9sec car i dought i would be giving him advice seems to me he knows enofe on how to build a fast as shit car already just my 2 cents
get the dsm, you will not be disappointed. actually, you might be, we can get them to run 7s, we just cant get them to be reliable for more than six months at a time. lol
We will be there in Seattle again next weekend with the talon that you see in this video. As most know we have broke into the 8sec barrier this season with an 8.83 @164mph. Hope to better that next weekend in Seattle at BOTI.
this guy is commited i went to his house once and instead of food in his kitchen he had tonz of dsm parts all over the place haha and he ran an 8 this year want to see the run type in jake montgomery
Calm down guys i wasnt trying to be an ass when i made the lag comment at all. I was just pointing something out. It was a phenomenal run without a doubt. And any well built DSM like this one deserves all the credit for a 9 sec. pass. Its definitely an awesome car!
there was a bit of lag there due to the so much tire spin through 1st gear, when I launched the car it went to the rev limiter right away and the car speed just wasn't up to the tire speed when I made the 1-2 shift, hence why it fell on it's face going to 2nd gear.
Thank you for the explanation. Again, i was not trying to be an ass when i made the comment...i was simply trying to get an answer. Ive watched this video about 30 times already and this is one bad ass DSM. Wish you all the best with that car. Makes me miss my 97 TSI with the 20G setup. Although 330WHP is not even close to your 900hp setup! Keep the awesome videos coming!
That would be so sick..I hope he comes back to Pacific Raceways so i can get more video of him and hopefully see him in the 8's..Its kinda a drive from Idaho to Kent, Wa but maybe..
dude could some one meet me at crispy cremes and i could follow to ur guy's meet on saturday.being i dont know were in auburn and what excite to take to ur top foods meet.
I wont be going tomorrow however i will be going next weekend..most of the time they meet up at krispy kremes around 6-630 because the meet is at 7 in auburn
i was talking to some bald guy in a fire suit that said he was the driver/owner that said the car had run high 8's....and was going for 8's that day as well...and my bad on the overguess'd boost and spray.... either way, super sick dsm...
oh, then my mistake, my bad, i heard wrong.....so its a 100shot of prespray and around 40psi???? just under 1000awhp???? is that info correct?? i remember the car looked so damn good, i have a few videos on my phone, i still watch em randomly cause its so sick
they got a video of it breaking an axle, it was him vs. team english's 1000+ awhp evo8...it would have been a killer race if the talon didnt snap the axle. but damn sure the talon would have pulled the evo....
John Shepherd's talon has well over 1000whp, more closer to 1400whp, runs methanol, much lighter, ect ect ect. The car in the video is a street car with a cd player, full dash, heater, carpet, ect ect ect. The car in the video has gone a best of 9.11 @159mph with the car weighing damn near 3000lbs. How do I know all this? Cause it's my car, not forced performance's car, forced performance is a sponsor of mine.:) Thanks for the video whoever posted it! Nice shot!
ok then who was the bald guy in the driver seat with the firesuit on saying his best time was a high 8's.. if this is you r car are you local though..im in tacoma, wa..if so we should meet up sometime and talk cars..
I'm in Idaho, I don't live in Wa. Sorry. Also I never said I ran high 8's, I am the "bald" guy in the fire suit you talked to. I wish I could say that I ran an 8 LOL! We have been trying to break in the 8's all season, our best was a 9.11 @159mph in vegas.
Either way your car is awesome.. Im taking a trip to Idaho sometime in december hopefuly..So maybe we can see whats up..id love the check out ur setup..
Jesus... One hell of a 1g.

they got a video of it breaking an axle, it was him vs. team english's 1000+ awhp evo8...it would have been a killer race if the talon didnt snap the axle. but damn sure the talon would have pulled the evo....

John Shepherd's talon has well over 1000whp, more closer to 1400whp, runs methanol, much lighter, ect ect ect. The car in the video is a street car with a cd player, full dash, heater, carpet, ect ect ect. The car in the video has gone a best of 9.11 @159mph with the car weighing damn near 3000lbs. How do I know all this? Cause it's my car, not forced performance's car, forced performance is a sponsor of mine.:) Thanks for the video whoever posted it! Nice shot!

I'm in Idaho, I don't live in Wa. Sorry. Also I never said I ran high 8's, I am the "bald" guy in the fire suit you talked to. I wish I could say that I ran an 8 LOL! We have been trying to break in the 8's all season, our best was a 9.11 @159mph in vegas.
